Mobile-first UX optimization for touch interfaces, responsive layouts, and performance. Use for viewport handling, touch targets, gestures, mobile navigation. Activate on mobile, touch, responsive, dvh, viewport, safe area, hamburger menu. NOT for native app development (use React Native skills), desktop-only features, or general CSS (use Tailwind docs).

Build touch-optimized, performant mobile experiences with proper viewport handling and responsive patterns.

react-native or swift-executor skillsweb-design-expertpwa-expert skill/* ❌ ANTI-PATTERN: Desktop-first (scale down) */
.card { width: 400px; }
@media (max-width: 768px) { .card { width: 100%; } }
/* ✅ CORRECT: Mobile-first (scale up) */
.card { width: 100%; }
@media (min-width: 768px) { .card { width: 400px; } }
Apple's Human Interface Guidelines specify 44×44 points as minimum touch target. Google Material suggests 48×48dp.

dvh SolutionMobile browsers have dynamic toolbars. 100vh includes the URL bar, causing content to be cut off.
/* ❌ ANTI-PATTERN: Content hidden behind browser UI */
.full-screen { height: 100vh; }
/* ✅ CORRECT: Responds to browser chrome */
.full-screen { height: 100dvh; }
/* Fallback for older browsers */
.full-screen {
height: 100vh;
height: 100dvh;
}

threshold: 50,
});
// Pull to refresh
const { containerRef, pullDistance, isRefreshing, handlers } =

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Content cut off at bottom | Use 100dvh instead of 100vh |
| Notch overlaps content | Add pt-safe / pb-safe |
| Touch targets too small | Min 44×44px |
| Scroll locked | Check overflow: hidden on body |
| Keyboard covers input | Use visualViewport API |
| Janky scrolling | Use will-change: transform |
| Double-tap zoom | Add touch-action: manipulation |

These artifacts can be slides, docs, reportings, HTML landing pages, etc. There are 10 pre-set themes with colors/fonts that you can apply to any artifact that has been creating, or can generate a new theme on-the-fly.
Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
