avalonia-controls-layout

avalonia-controls-layout is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from linuxdevel/Avalonia-skills. It costs 68 tokens per session (2,757 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for Avalonia layout containers, which position, size, constrain, decorate, or scroll the controls inside them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build cards, scrolling areas, split views, expandable sections, responsive panels, grids, stacks, wrapped layouts, docks, uniform grids, and canvases.
Why use it?
It helps you select and configure containers correctly, including their sizing, alignment, spacing, scrolling, borders, and child-content limits.

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

avalonia-controls-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 3d 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.

Avalonia Layout Controls

Overview

Layout controls are containers that position and constrain child controls. See avalonia-layout for general sizing/alignment concepts. This skill covers the container control APIs.


Border

Single-child container. Adds background, border, rounded corners, padding, and shadows.

Property Type Notes
Background IBrush Fill color
BorderBrush IBrush Border color
BorderThickness Thickness 1 or 1,2,1,2 (L,T,R,B)
CornerRadius CornerRadius 8 or 8,0,8,0 (TL,TR,BR,BL)
Padding Thickness Inner spacing
BoxShadow BoxShadows Drop shadow(s)
Child Control Single child only
<!-- Card style -->
<Border Background="White"
        CornerRadius="8"
        BorderBrush="#E0E0E0"
        BorderThickness="1"
        Padding="16"
        BoxShadow="0 2 8 0 #20000000">
    <StackPanel Spacing="8">
        <TextBlock Text="Card Title" FontWeight="SemiBold" FontSize="16"/>
        <TextBlock Text="Card body content goes here." TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
    </StackPanel>
</Border>

<!-- Divider line using Border -->
<Border Height="1" Background="#E0E0E0" Margin="0,8"/>

<!-- Multiple box shadows -->
<Border BoxShadow="0 1 3 0 #1A000000, 0 4 6 0 #0D000000" CornerRadius="6" Padding="12">
    <TextBlock Text="Elevated card"/>
</Border>

Important: Border only accepts one child. Wrap multiple children in a Panel, StackPanel, or Grid.


ScrollViewer

Adds scrollbars to content that overflows its bounds.

Property Type Notes
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility ScrollBarVisibility Auto, Visible, Hidden, Disabled
VerticalScrollBarVisibility ScrollBarVisibility Auto, Visible, Hidden, Disabled
Offset Vector Programmatic scroll position
Extent Size Total content size
Viewport Size Visible area size
AllowAutoHide bool Hides scrollbar when not hovering

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.
