Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Layered Design > "Stacking context. Interfaces built from overlapping, independent layers." ## When to Use Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the `design-it` skill and is not meant to be triggered directly. ## Core Principles 1. **Explicit Overlap**: Elements intentionally overlap each other to break the grid and show depth. 2. **Clear Stratification**: Every layer must be visually distinct via shadow, border, or contrasting color. 3. **Parallax Scrolling**: Background layers move slower than foreground layers during interaction/scrolling. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: **Monochromatic Brown** or **Sophisticated Neutral**. Layering works best when the background is distinct from the floating elements. - **Typography**: Often large, overlapping text that spans across image and background layers. - **Spacing**: Negative space is required around overlapping elements so they don't feel cluttered. ## Web Implementation - Heavy use of `position: absolute`, negative margins, and `z-index`. - **CSS Example**: ```css .layer-container { position: relative; padding: 100px; } .layer-bg-image { position: absolute; top: 0

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill layered-design --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
