Grid of varied blocks on cream, Inter type, compact scale.

What it is

A guideline skill for bento box layouts that present content as grid blocks of varying sizes. Inter throughout, a compact 12 to 32 type scale, peach and blue accents on cream.

Modular grid layout with card-like blocks, clear hierarchy, soft spacing, and subtle visual contrast for organized, scannable interfaces.
From the upstream SKILL.md

Why it matters for design

  • Varying block sizes carry hierarchy, so the grid itself does the ranking.
  • A compact 12 to 32 type scale fits dense text inside small tiles.
  • The cream #FFF5E6 surface keeps block edges readable without heavy borders.

  1. Clone the repo.

    git clone https://github.com/bergside/awesome-design-skills
  2. Point Codex at the skill file.

    skills/bento/SKILL.md
  3. Then describe the UI you want. Codex follows the skill.

How to run it with Codex

  1. Ask Codex to assign each block a size based on content priority.

  2. Define spacing tokens on the 4 to 32 scale before laying out tiles.

  3. Request overflow and long-label handling, which this skill lists as edge cases.

Every plugin here is free, open source, and links to its real upstream source.
