Aspect Ratio Grid Skill
Responsive grid that renders the same image in every social platform format. Each card shows the platform label, pixel dimensions, live status (pending / generating / done / error), a draggable before/after comparison slider, safe zone overlay, and per-platform download + regenerate actions.

Usage
import { AspectRatioGrid } from "@/components/aspect-ratio-grid/aspect-ratio-grid";
import { downloadAsZip } from "@/lib/zip-download/client";
const variants = [
{
platformId: "instagram-square",
url: "https://cdn.example.com/ig-square.jpg",
originalUrl: "https://cdn.example.com/original.jpg",
status: "done",
},
{
platformId: "instagram-story",
url: "",
status: "generating",
},
{
platformId: "twitter-post",
url: "",
status: "pending",
},
];
export default function ReformatsPage() {
async function handleDownloadAll() {
const done = variants.filter((v) => v.status === "done");
await downloadAsZip(
done.map((v) => ({ url: v.url, filename: `${v.platformId}.jpg` })),
"platform-exports"
);
}
return (
<AspectRatioGrid
variants={variants}
showComparison
=> console.log("regenerate", platformId)}
/>
);
}
Platform Spec Contract
The platform-specs skill must export:
export type PlatformSpec = {
id: PlatformId;
label: string;
width: number;
height: number;
safeZone?: {
top: number;
bottom: number;
left: number;
right: number;
};
};
export function getPlatform(id: PlatformId): PlatformSpec;
Safe zone values are in pixels and are converted to percentages inside AspectRatioCard for responsive overlay positioning.
Acceptance Criteria
- Grid renders 2 / 3 / 4 columns at
sm/md/lgbreakpoints - "pending" cards show platform label on a muted background
- "generating" cards show an animated pulse shimmer
- "done" cards render the image with
object-cover - "error" cards show a red border, error message, and Retry button that calls
onRegenerate - When
showComparisonis false, the Compare toggle is not rendered - When Compare toggle is on and
originalUrlis present, dragging or hovering the card moves a clip-path divider between original and generated images - Safe zone dashed border is rendered as an absolute inset overlay when
spec.safeZoneis defined and status is "done" - "Download All as ZIP" button is rendered only when
onDownloadAllis provided - Each card key is stable and not based on array index
tscpasses with no errors- Build succeeds (
bun run build)
