responsive-paradigms

responsive-paradigms is a skill for Claude Code from dembrandt/dembrandt-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (2,188 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing separate layouts and interactions for phones, tablets, and desktop computers. It treats each screen size as a different way of using the interface, based on input method and available space.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adapting navigation, page sections, buttons, and content layouts for mobile, tablet, and desktop screens.
Why use it?
Simply shrinking a desktop layout can make controls hard to tap, navigation difficult to reach, and important content easy to miss. This helps decide what should move, disappear, or remain easy to access at each size.

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

responsive-paradigms 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 18d 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.

Responsive Paradigms

Mobile, tablet, and desktop are fundamentally different interaction contexts. The input method, screen real estate, viewing distance, and session intent all differ. Responsive design is not the same layout at different widths — it is a different design decision at each breakpoint.

The Three Paradigms

Mobile (< 768px)

  • Input: Touch — fingers, not a cursor. Tap targets ≥ 44×44px.
  • Navigation: Bottom tab bar (thumb reachable) or hamburger drawer. Top navigation is hard to reach.
  • Session: Often interrupted, task-focused, shorter. Show the most important thing first.
  • Content: Single column. Vertical scroll only. No hover states.
  • Primary action: Floating action button (FAB) or full-width button at the bottom of the screen.

Tablet (768px–1024px)

  • Input: Touch and sometimes keyboard/trackpad. Hybrid paradigm.
  • Navigation: Can support a persistent sidebar at landscape orientation; collapses to drawer at portrait.
  • Content: Two-column layouts work. Master-detail patterns (list + detail side by side) are natural.
  • Primary action: Can be in-line with content, not necessarily floating.

Desktop (> 1024px)

  • Input: Mouse with hover states, keyboard shortcuts, precise clicking.
  • Navigation: Persistent sidebar or top navigation. Both visible simultaneously.
  • Content: Multi-column, dense information, toolbars, context menus.
  • Primary action: In-context with content, supported by keyboard shortcuts for power users.

Section Behaviour Across Breakpoints

Not every section needs to appear on every breakpoint at the same position — or at all.

Sections can be hidden on mobile

Secondary content (related articles, supplementary sidebars, decorative illustrations) can be hidden below a breakpoint. Ask: does a mobile user need this? If no, display: none at mobile is correct.

Stacking is the default; repositioning is allowed within the same container

The default responsive move is simply to stack — a horizontal row of blocks becomes a vertical column as the viewport narrows. This preserves order and grouping, so the user's mental model of the page survives the breakpoint unchanged. Reach for it first.
