Make Responsive
Apply responsive changes in place. Prefer mobile-first code: base classes describe mobile, larger breakpoints restore wider layouts.
This skill is for implementation, not just review. Check the git state before editing and call out dirty target files.

Read references/plan-mode.md when applying a markdown plan from mobile-review. Read references/transformations.md before detecting or applying direct responsive fixes. Read references/complex-components.md before classifying or changing tables, large forms, dense grids, data-grid libraries, or column-like lists.
Modes
Standalone
Use when the user points at a component/page and asks you to make it responsive.
- Resolve the target.
- Read the target, direct local imports, nearest layout parent, Tailwind config, and global CSS.
- Detect direct fixes and complex components.
- Show gates and a short summary.
- Apply confirmed direct fixes.
- Ask complex component decisions one at a time and apply each immediately.
- Summarize changes and assumptions.
Plan Mode
Use when the input is a markdown plan from mobile-review.
- Parse the plan.
- Check for stale files or decisions that no longer map cleanly to code.
- Show what will be applied.
- After
ok, apply decided fixes and rewrites without re-asking.
- If the user says
review X, reopen only those items as individual decisions.
Target Resolution
An explicit file, route, component, URL, screenshot, or plan path wins.
If no target is explicit, infer from recent conversation, dirty files, then the latest diff. Confirm inferred targets before reading:
I found `Checkout.tsx` in the current diff. Is that the component you want made responsive?
If there is no strong candidate, ask for the page, component, route, or plan.
What To Read
For each target, read:
- The target file.
- Direct local imports. Stop after one level unless a child is trivial.
- The nearest parent that controls layout.
tailwind.config.* when present.- Global CSS such as
globals.css, app.css, or equivalent.
For files over 500 lines, read the first 200 lines fully and search the rest for responsive risk patterns. Mention this in the first summary.
Assumptions
Infer silently and include in the summary:
- Mobile-first strategy.
- Minimum width: 360px unless project evidence says otherwise.
- Touch target: 44px for interactive controls.
- Breakpoint for mobile/desktop switch: usually
md:.
- Horizontal overflow: never on
body; only intentional named containers may scroll.
- Safe area: only when fixed top/bottom UI exists.
If the user gives a concrete constraint, use it and say so.
Gates
Show gates before edits:
- Target already looks mobile-first: ask whether to continue.
- Missing viewport meta: treat as a blocker or add it if the user approves.
- Target has uncommitted changes: ask whether to apply on top.
Do not edit through an unresolved gate.
Direct Fixes
Use references/transformations.md.
Direct fixes include:
- Fixed pixel widths on normal content.
- Small touch targets.
h-screen / 100vh in content containers.w-screen / 100vw outside deliberate bleed/hero areas.- Unjustified
overflow-hidden.
- Fixed top/bottom UI missing safe-area padding.
- Inputs below 16px.
- Flex children missing
min-w-0 when long content can overflow.
Show all direct fixes in one table. Apply only approved rows. Keep diffs small and edit in place.
Complex Components
Use references/complex-components.md.
Complex components are decisions, not automatic fixes:
- Tables with more than three columns.
- Forms with more than six fields.
- Dense grids with many data fields.
- Data-grid libraries.
- Lists where each row acts like several columns.
Ask one decision at a time. Each answer is applied immediately before moving to the next item.
Accepted shortcuts:
ok / default: accept recommendation.adapt: keep structure and add responsive containment.rewrite: create a mobile-specific structure.skip: leave unchanged.finish / use defaults: apply recommendations to remaining items.show snippet: only inside a rewrite sub-flow.
Plan Mode User Flow
Turn 1 lists what the plan will apply:
Read `<plan>` generated on <date>.
Will apply:
- <N> direct fixes
- <N> broad fixes
- <N> complex component decisions
Reply `ok` to apply, or `review X` to reopen specific items.
If there are stale files, unmappable decisions, or missing code matches, list them before asking for ok. Those items enter the individual decision flow.
Summary
End with:
- Files changed.
- Direct fixes applied or skipped.
- Complex decisions applied.
- Assumptions used.
- Verification run, or why it was not run.
