LVTD-LLC Responsive Layout Math
Use this skill to turn fixed layout intentions into proportional, bounded, and testable responsive CSS. It is strongest when the task involves deriving a formula rather than picking arbitrary breakpoint values.
Quick Start
- Read
guidelines.mdto select the smallest relevant file set. - Load
references/fluid-layouts/rules.mdfor implementation decisions. - Load
references/fluid-layouts/examples.mdwhen editing code. - Use
workflows/design-fluid-layout.mdfor multi-step derivation or debugging.
