Avoid inner scroll containers; when unavoidable, one axis at a time. Use when a layout, table or panel might scroll inside the page.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Scroll Areas

## Avoid Scroll Areas by Default

Scroll containers inside a layout — panels, drawers, tables, modals with inner overflow — create friction. Users must discover that a region scrolls, manage multiple independent scroll positions simultaneously, and context-switch between scroll areas on the same screen.

**Default: let the page scroll.** A single page-level scroll is universally understood and requires no discovery. Before introducing an inner scroll area, ask whether the layout can be restructured so the page itself handles the overflow.

Alternatives to inner scroll:
- Pagination or load-more for long lists
- Collapsible sections (accordion) for long detail panels
- A separate page or route for content that would otherwise fill a scroll area
- Progressive disclosure — show less by default, expand on demand

## When a Scroll Area Is Justified

Some layouts genuinely require inner scroll:

- **Fixed-height sidebars** with navigation trees longer than the viewport
- **Data tables** where the header must remain visible while rows scroll
- **Chat or log panels** where the stream is continuous and the surrounding layout is fixed

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills/scroll-areas@sha256:e557b0b5fd1011dc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.b05848a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
