masonry

masonry is a skill for Claude Code from ariadoss/superskills. It costs 81 tokens per session (986 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of masonry, MIT.

A guide to masonry layouts, where items of different heights stack in columns and fill gaps like a brick wall. It compares this approach with regular grids and other layouts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or review Pinterest-style galleries, portfolios, image collections, and discovery-focused pages with varying item heights.
Why use it?
It helps choose a layout that suits uneven, image-heavy content instead of forcing all items into equal rows. It also addresses browsing and search visibility considerations for these pages.

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

masonry 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Components: Masonry Layout

Guides masonry layout design for content with varying heights. Masonry stacks items in columns without distinct rows; items fill gaps like a brick wall. Best for image galleries, portfolios, and discovery-focused platforms.

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.

When to Use Masonry

Use masonry when Use grid when
Varying heights Equal-height items
Image-heavy; varied aspect ratios Products, templates (consistent)
Gallery, portfolio, showcase Card grid
Discovery, browsing; visual-first Structured browsing

See grid for equal-height grid; card for card structure.

Layout Structure Best for
Grid Equal rows and columns; uniform items Products, templates, features
Masonry Columns; items stack without rows; gaps filled Pinterest, Behance; varied content
Bento Intentional sections; predefined sizes Homepage, dashboard; Apple-style
Carousel Slides; one/few visible; swipe/click Testimonials, logos, featured items; see carousel

Masonry Structure

Element Purpose
Columns 2–4 columns; fluid or fixed
Items Varying heights; natural aspect ratio
Gap Consistent horizontal and vertical spacing
Order Top-to-bottom fill within columns

Implementation

  • CSS columns: column-count; simple, no JS; but items flow top-to-bottom then next column
  • Masonry.js / libraries: True masonry (left-to-right fill); may need JS
  • CSS Grid + grid-auto-flow: dense: Approximate; no JS; see grid for dense grid

Note: Pure masonry can create accessibility challenges (screen reader order); ensure logical DOM order.
