implementing-drag-drop

implementing-drag-drop is a skill for Claude Code from ancoleman/ai-design-components. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,554 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building interfaces where users drag items to move, sort, upload, or arrange them, using React and TypeScript.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for kanban boards, sortable lists, file-drop areas, reorderable grids, visual builders, and other interfaces based on moving items directly.
Why use it?
It helps handle the interaction details needed for reordering content while supporting touch devices, accessibility, and good performance.

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.

Security

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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (assets/drag-state-types.ts, scripts/calculate_drop_position.js, scripts/generate_dnd_config.js, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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
