write-layouts skillA
write-layouts is agent-read markdown (skill) from mendixlabs/mxcli: CREATE LAYOUT syntax — the frame a page is built on: scroll-container regions, the navigation tree, and the placeholders pages bind to. Use when a topbar, sidebar or page frame has to change, or when copying an Atlas layout into a module you own..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# CREATE LAYOUT — the frame a page is built on A **layout** is the frame every page renders inside: the topbar, the navigation sidebar, and the hole the page's own content drops into. Until now it was the one document mxcli could not author, which put the topbar out of reach of MDL. ## Do not edit Atlas_Core Mendix's own documentation says it plainly: *"Do not change the supplied layouts. Either create a separate module with the custom layouts, page templates, and building blocks or create your own."* An Atlas layout lives in a Marketplace module, and a Marketplace update replaces the module wholesale — every local edit is gone, silently. `CREATE LAYOUT` **refuses** a Marketplace module for that reason. Put your layout in a module you own. The usual starting point is a copy of an Atlas layout, and `describe` already gives you one: ```bash mxcli -p app.mpr -c "describe layout Atlas_Core.Atlas_Default" > mine.mdl # edit the qualified name to your own module, then: mxcli exec mine.mdl -p app.mpr ``` `DESCRIBE LAYOUT` emits re-executable MDL, so describe → rename → exec *is* the copy operation. There is no `COPY DOCUMENT` verb and none is needed. …

How to install
mdr add mendixlabs/mxcli/write-layouts@git:20260922.4954f84mdr add mendixlabs/mxcli/write-layouts@sha256:a4d9f9f344479ec7Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
