-# Temporary Holding Version
+# @cssints/layout
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+Layout primitives for [cssints](../../README.md), after [Every Layout](https://every-layout.dev) and
+[smolcss](https://smolcss.dev): `stack()`, `cluster()`, `sidebar()`, `switcher()`, `cover()` and `autoGrid()`. Each one is a
+chain member of `cssints/plugin` `scope()`: a call gives the primitive's kernel classes, and each method sets one custom
+property. No runtime, no media queries: the layouts respond to the space they have.
+
+```ts
+import { cn, p } from "cssints" with { type: "cssints" };

+export const page = cn(stack().gap(6), p(4));

+export const buttons = switcher().threshold("30rem");
+export const cards = autoGrid().min("16rem").gap(4);

+## The primitives
+
+| Primitive    | Methods (each once, in any order)                                             | What it is                                                                                                                         |
+| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `stack()`    | `gap` (1rem)                                                                  | a flex column with a gap                                                                                                           |
+| `cluster()`  | `gap` (1rem), `justify` (`flex-start`), `align` (`center`)                    | a wrapping row: tags, buttons, a toolbar                                                                                           |
+| `sidebar()`  | `side` (`left`), `width` (`auto`, its content), `content` (50%), `gap` (1rem) | two children side by side; they stack when the content child would be narrower than `content` of the container                     |
+| `switcher()` | `threshold` (30rem), `gap` (1rem)                                             | its children in one row while the container is wider than `threshold`, else one column (Heydon Pickering's Flexbox Holy Albatross) |
+| `cover()`    | `minHeight` (100vh), `gap` (1rem)                                             | a flex column of a min height with its content centred vertically                                                                  |
+| `autoGrid()` | `min` (16rem), `gap` (1rem)                                                   | as many columns of at least `min` as fit, `repeat(auto-fit, minmax(min(min, 100%), 1fr))`, which never overflows                   |
+
+- **Values.** `gap` takes a length or a percentage, and a lone number is a step of the spacing scale (0.25rem), as in
+  `padding`. `width`, `minHeight` and `min` take a length or a percentage, `threshold` a length, `content` a percentage from
+  0 to 100. `justify` is `start | end | center | space-between | space-around | space-evenly`, `align` is `start | end |
+center | baseline | stretch`, `side` is `left | right`. Tokens go where a length does. The types check each method, and
+  the build checks it again (ranges included: `content("120%")` fails at the call).
+- **Conditions.** A method in `media()`, `hover()` and the others sets the custom property under that condition:
+  `media("(width >= 40rem)")(stack().gap(8))`.
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Kernels.** Each primitive is one kernel in layer `_.k`, once, written as styles: the defaults of its custom properties
+  on the element (`vars()`), the container's properties and, for `sidebar()` and `switcher()`, the rules of the children
+  (`nest("& > *")`). A call is its class (`_layout-stack-core`), and each method one class in `_.a` (or `_.b` under a
+  condition), which wins over the defaults.
+- **Conflicts.** A `cn()` that holds a primitive and a property its core sets is a build error at the call, derived from
+  the kernel: `cn(stack(), display("grid"))` is
+  `cssints: layout: kernel stack-core sets display, flex-direction, gap (this style also sets display)`, and `cn(autoGrid(), rowGap("1rem"))` fails as well (a longhand of `gap`). Padding, sizes and
+  colours do not conflict, nor do the properties the kernel sets on the children (`cn(switcher(), flexGrow(0))` is fine). Conflicts across `cx()` are not seen, as for any plugin.
+- **No leak into nested primitives.** The defaults are set on every primitive, so a `stack()` inside a `stack().gap(8)`
+  has a gap of 1rem, not 2rem.
+- **The children.** `sidebar()` sizes its first and last child (the first is the sidebar, or the last with
+  `side("right")`; the order in the DOM stays the reading order), `switcher()` every child. Those rules are one class
+  strong in `_.k`, so a class on a child wins over them.
+
+## Limits
+
+- `sidebar()` and `switcher()` pass their settings to the children by inheritance. A child that is itself a sidebar
+  (or a switcher) reads its own defaults or settings in its role as a child, not its parent's: wrap it in a plain element
+  when the parent's values are not the defaults.
+- `cover()` centres all its content; Every Layout's centred child between a header and a footer is `margin-block: auto`
+  on that child, which you write yourself.
+- Not here: Every Layout's `center`, `box`, `frame`, `reel`, `imposter` and `icon` (`box` and `center` are a few plain
+  properties; `frame()` in cssints is the concentric radius), and the switcher's limit on the number of items.
+
+```bash
+cd packages/layout && bun run test   # fixtures through the engine (output, conflicts, build errors), and the type test via bun run typecheck
+```
+
+## Credits
+
+The primitives are those of [Every Layout](https://every-layout.dev) (Heydon Pickering and Andy Bell) and
+[smolcss](https://smolcss.dev) (Stephanie Eckles); the switcher is Heydon Pickering's Flexbox Holy Albatross. The CSS is
+written here as styles of `scope()`; no code is copied.
