What is component-create-layout?

A set of project rules for creating page, section, header, sidebar, or footer layout components that arrange content across screen sizes.

Use it when building a new layout component in a Next.js project. It covers server and client layouts, mobile-first behavior, reusable content areas, and navigation structure.

It reduces inconsistent responsive layouts and gives developers shared patterns for semantic HTML, accessibility, composition, and Next.js app-router integration.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.03389
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.01356
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00678
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00339

Security

Grade A, and why

component-create-layout scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Layout Component Creation Request

Please create a new layout component following our responsive design patterns and composition standards:

🎯 LAYOUT COMPONENT CREATION OBJECTIVES:

IMPLEMENT responsive design with mobile-first approach and breakpoint consistency
PROVIDE flexible composition with slot-based architecture and content organization
ENSURE accessibility with proper landmark roles and semantic structure
INTEGRATE with NextJS patterns including app router layouts and server components
FOLLOW project standards for performance, accessibility, and component architecture

📋 LAYOUT DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY:

STEP 1: Layout Planning and Architecture

Determine Layout Type and Location:

Server Component: src/components/server/layout/ - Static layout structures, SEO-focused
Client Component: src/components/client/layout/ - Interactive layout elements
App Router Integration: Layouts that integrate with NextJS app directory structure
Layout Categories:
- Page Layouts: Full page structure templates (page/)
- Section Layouts: Content area organization (section/)
- Navigation Layouts: Header, sidebar, footer structures (navigation/)
- Content Layouts: Article, grid, list organization (content/)

Layout Composition Assessment:

Container Strategy: Fixed width, fluid, or hybrid container patterns
Grid System: CSS Grid, Flexbox, or hybrid layout approach
Responsive Breakpoints: Mobile, tablet, desktop, and large screen considerations
Content Slots: Named areas for flexible content placement

STEP 2: Responsive Design System

Breakpoint Strategy:

// Define responsive breakpoint system
const breakpoints = {
  xs: '0px',     // Mobile portrait
  sm: '640px',   // Mobile landscape
  md: '768px',   // Tablet
  lg: '1024px',  // Desktop
  xl: '1280px',  // Large desktop
  '2xl': '1536px' // Extra large
} as const;

// Responsive layout variants
interface ResponsiveLayoutProps {
  /** Layout behavior on mobile */
  mobile?: 'stack' | 'scroll' | 'collapse';
  /** Layout behavior on tablet */
  tablet?: 'stack' | 'grid' | 'sidebar';
  /** Layout behavior on desktop */
  desktop?: 'grid' | 'sidebar' | 'columns';
  /** Maximum content width */
  maxWidth?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'xl' | '2xl' | 'full';
  /** Padding configuration */
  padding?: 'none' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'responsive';
}
