README (SKILL.md)
Components: Card Layout
Guides card layout design for scannable, responsive content display. Cards are self-contained containers that group related content; used in grids for blog posts, products, templates, tools, features, galleries, and integrations.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Card Anatomy
| Element | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Container | Border, background, shadow; consistent padding |
| Image / Thumbnail | Visual anchor; consistent aspect ratio (1:1, 4:3 common) |
| Title | Clear; keyword-rich where relevant |
| Description / Metadata | Supporting text; date, author, category |
| CTA | Action button or link; "View," "Use," "Connect," etc. |
Principle: One card = one topic. Keep each card focused for scannability.
Card Types by Use Case
| Type | Typical Elements | Page Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Product card | Image, name, price, CTA (Add to cart, View) | products-page-generator |
| Template card | Thumbnail, name, short description, "Use" or "Preview" CTA | template-page-generator |
| Tool card | Name, one-line benefit, CTA to tool page | tools-page-generator |
| Feature card | Name, benefit, optional screenshot | features-page-generator |
| Gallery / Showcase item | Thumbnail, title, creator, link | showcase-page-generator |
| Integration card | Logo, name, short description, "Connect" or "Install" | integrations-page-generator |
| Blog / Article card | Cover image, title, excerpt, date, author | blog-page-generator, article-page-generator |
| Resource card | Thumbnail, title, format (guide, webinar), CTA | resources-page-generator |
Layout & Responsiveness
- Grid: CSS Grid
repeat(auto-fill, minmax())or Flexbox; columns adapt to viewport - Mobile: Single column on small screens; 2–4 columns on desktop
- Consistency: Same padding, spacing, and aspect ratios across cards
- Hover: Subtle elevation (shadow, translate-y); avoid scale that causes layout shift (CLS)
Design Principles
| Principle | Practice |
|---|---|
| Visual hierarchy | Title > description > CTA; clear flow |
| Scannability | Minimal text; benefit-led copy |
| Consistency | Same structure across all cards in a grid |
| Action clarity | One primary CTA per card; avoid choice overload |
SEO & Schema
- Cards themselves: No specific schema; layout is UI
- Content in cards: Use appropriate schema for the page (Product, Article, ItemList, etc.); see schema-markup
- Images: Alt text on thumbnails; see image-optimization
- Links: Descriptive anchor text; internal linking; see internal-links
Grid vs List vs Masonry vs Carousel
| Layout | Best for | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Grid | Visual content (products, templates, gallery); equal emphasis | grid |
| List | Text-heavy (blog index, docs); compact; scan by title | list |
| Masonry | Varying heights; image gallery, portfolio | masonry |
| Carousel | Limited space; testimonials, logos, featured rotation | carousel |

Usage Guidance
This skill is internally coherent and low-risk: it only provides design guidance and asks for no permissions or installs. However, the skill's source/homepage is not provided—if you care about provenance, prefer skills from known authors or repositories. As with any skill, avoid pasting sensitive data into prompts when using it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: card-components
Version: 1.1.1
The skill bundle consists of documentation and behavioral guidelines for an AI agent to assist in designing UI card components. It contains no executable code, external dependencies, or malicious instructions, focusing entirely on layout principles and design best practices within SKILL.md.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and SKILL.md consistently describe a UI design helper for card layouts; required capabilities (none) are proportional to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains guidance and recommendations for card anatomy, layout, responsiveness, SEO, and related skills. It does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, call external endpoints, or perform unrelated system actions.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill with no downloads or writes to disk.
Credentials
Requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths; the requested scope is minimal and appropriate for a design guidance skill.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false, the skill does not request permanent presence or elevated privileges and does not modify other skills or system configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install card-components - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/card-components - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
