column-sizing

A guide to storing numeric column widths and using them when rendering a table, grid, or flex layout. The table library keeps the measurements, while your page's layout code applies them to the screen.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set minimum, maximum, and default column widths, read a column's size or position, and apply consistent widths to the rendered table.
Why use it?
It prevents problems caused by treating widths such as percentages or auto sizing as table state. It also helps keep headers, cells, pinned columns, and offsets aligned.

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

column-sizing 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

This skill builds on core and table-features. Sizing is numeric state; translating it to layout is a renderer decision.

Setup

import { columnSizingFeature, tableFeatures } from '@tanstack/table-core'

export const features = tableFeatures({ columnSizingFeature })
export const defaultColumn = { size: 180, minSize: 80, maxSize: 480 }

Core Patterns

cell.style.width = `${cell.column.getSize()}px`
tableElement.style.width = `${table.getTotalSize()}px`

Apply the same model sizes consistently to headers, cells, and pinned offsets.

Common Mistakes

[HIGH] Expecting state to style DOM

Wrong: const options = { defaultColumn: { size: 180 } }

Correct: cell.style.width = ${cell.column.getSize()}px``

Numeric state does not apply CSS to headless markup.

Source: docs/framework/react/guide/column-sizing.md#column-size-apis

[HIGH] Passing CSS sizes into numeric APIs

Wrong: const column = { size: '25%' }

Correct: const column = { size: 240 }

Table sizing state is numeric; percentages and auto layout belong in renderer CSS.

Source: packages/table-core/src/features/column-sizing/columnSizingFeature.types.ts

[HIGH] Letting content override offsets

Wrong: cell.style.minWidth = 'max-content'

Correct: cell.style.width = ${column.getSize()}px; cell.style.overflow = 'hidden'

If rendered width differs from the model, totals and pinning offsets no longer match geometry.

API Discovery

Inspect node_modules/@tanstack/table-core/dist/features/column-sizing/ for defaults and region-aware offset signatures.

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.
