About This Skill
What it does
This skill, Safe Area Handling, enables AI agents to manage and correctly display content on devices with notches (iPhones), Dynamic Islands, home indicators, Android cutouts, or other screen obstructions. It provides CSS solutions for ensuring that content isn't hidden by these elements and allows for fullscreen layouts that respect the device’s safe areas. The skill utilizes viewport coverage and CSS environment variables to adjust padding and positioning dynamically.
When to use it
- When experiencing layout issues on devices with notches or cutouts.
- When a user specifically asks about safe area considerations.
- If content is being obscured by the home indicator or notch.
- To achieve a fullscreen application layout that accounts for device-specific screen features.
- When needing to ensure all elements are visible and properly positioned on various devices.
Key capabilities
- Handles iPhone notches, Dynamic Islands, and home indicators.
- Manages Android cutouts and navigation gestures.
- Provides CSS solutions using environment variables (e.g.,
safe-area-inset-top,safe-area-inset-bottom). - Enables viewport coverage via the
<meta>tag (viewport-fit=cover). - Supports full page layouts that respect safe area insets.
Example prompts
- "How can I prevent my header from being hidden by the iPhone notch?"
- "What's the best way to ensure content is visible on Android devices with cutouts?"
- "I need a fullscreen layout that respects the device’s safe areas; how do I achieve this?"
Tips & gotchas
- The
viewport-fit=coverattribute in the<meta>tag is required for accessing safe area insets. Without it, padding calculations will not work correctly. - This skill focuses on CSS solutions and does not address underlying layout design issues; it provides adjustments to existing layouts.
