What problem does it solve?

This Skill standardizes layering in UI by generating a predictable z-index token scale to avoid arbitrary values and stacking conflicts across components like dropdowns, modals, tooltips, and overlays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic, multi-format outputs (CSS custom properties, Tailwind zIndex, JSON tokens) for quick integration into design tokens pipelines.
  • Predefined layering levels for common UI patterns (Base, Dropdown, Modal, Tooltip, Overlay) to ensure consistent behavior.
  • Documentation and guidance on stacking contexts, isolation, and use-case scenarios like dashboards, dialogs, and side-drawers.

Quick Start

Use the z-index-scale skill to generate tokens for dropdowns, modals, and tooltips in your app and apply them to your CSS variables, Tailwind config, and JSON token files.
