# Build layouts that survive real content

> Use fluid grids, container queries, and content-driven breakpoints instead of pixel-perfect mockups.

**Track:** 🎨 Frontend Engineering · **Domain:** CSS & Design Systems · **Level:** intermediate · **~30 min**

**Who this is for:** Frontend Engineers, Full-Stack Developers, Design Engineers, UI Developers

## When to Use This Skill

Use fluid grids, container queries, and content-driven breakpoints instead of pixel-perfect mockups.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Design mobile-first with min-width queries only
2. Prefer grid auto-fit + minmax over fixed column counts
3. Use clamp() for fluid type between readable bounds
4. Test with worst-case content: longest name, no image, RTL locale
5. Apply container queries for card-based components inside varying columns
6. Verify horizontal scrollbar never appears between 320px and 2560px

## Common Pitfalls

- Breakpoints tuned to the designer's laptop width
- Text truncation hiding critical numbers like prices
