# Widget-Based Design > "Miniature applications. Small, highly functional blocks of UI designed to be rearranged." ## 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. **Strict Aspect Ratios**: Widgets usually follow strict sizes (1x1 square, 2x1 rectangle, 2x2 large square). 2. **Glanceability**: Widgets show the most important piece of data instantly. Deep interaction usually requires opening the full app. 3. **Corner Radius Match**: The inner content's border radius should perfectly nest within the widget's outer border radius. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: Widgets often use bright, solid color backgrounds or full-bleed photos to differentiate themselves. - **Typography**: Large, bold numbers (like a clock or weather temp) paired with tiny sub-labels. - **Layout**: Similar to Bento UI, but specifically focused on functional app-lets rather than just content layout. ## Web Implementation - **CSS Example**: ```css .widget-grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(160px, 1fr)); grid-auto-rows: 160px

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill widget-based-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.
