Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00054 | $0.01554 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.00777 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00311 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00155 |
Grade A, and why
implementing-drag-drop 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 6d 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.

Drag-and-Drop & Sortable Interfaces
Purpose
This skill helps implement drag-and-drop interactions and sortable interfaces using modern React/TypeScript libraries. It covers accessibility-first approaches, touch support, and performance optimization for creating intuitive direct manipulation UIs.
When to Use
Invoke this skill when:
- Building Trello-style kanban boards with draggable cards between columns
- Creating sortable lists with drag handles for priority ordering
- Implementing file upload zones with visual drag-and-drop feedback
- Building reorderable grids for dashboard widgets or galleries
- Creating visual builders with node-based interfaces
- Implementing any UI requiring spatial reorganization through direct manipulation
Core Patterns
Sortable Lists
Reference references/dnd-patterns.md for:
- Vertical lists with drag handles
- Horizontal lists for tab/carousel reordering
- Grid layouts with 2D dragging
- Auto-scrolling near edges
Kanban Boards
Reference references/kanban-implementation.md for:
- Multi-column boards with cards
- WIP limits and swimlanes
- Card preview on hover
- Column management (add/remove/collapse)
File Upload Zones
Reference references/file-dropzone.md for:
- Visual feedback states
- File type validation
- Multi-file handling
- Progress indicators
Accessibility
Reference references/accessibility-dnd.md for:
- Keyboard navigation patterns
- Screen reader announcements
- Alternative UI approaches
- ARIA attributes
Library Selection
Primary: dnd-kit
Modern, accessible, and performant drag-and-drop for React.
Reference references/library-guide.md for:
- Library comparison (dnd-kit vs alternatives)
- Installation and setup
- Core concepts and API
- Migration from react-beautiful-dnd
Key Features
- Built-in accessibility support
- Touch, mouse, and keyboard input
- Zero dependencies (~10KB core)
- Highly customizable
- TypeScript native
Implementation Workflow
Step 1: Analyze Requirements
Determine the drag-and-drop pattern needed:
- Simple list reordering → Sortable list pattern
- Multi-container movement → Kanban pattern
- File handling → Dropzone pattern
- Complex interactions → Visual builder pattern

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

implementing-drag-drop is a skill published in the GitHub repository ancoleman/ai-design-components (518 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,554 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
