Proximity Data Tables

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: engineering-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use this skill when designing or fixing data tables and tabular layouts — row spacing, column spacing, header treatment, group separators, total rows, sticky headers, dense vs. comfortable variants. Trigger when the user is laying out a table, deciding density, debugging "rows that are hard to follow," picking when to add zebra striping, or arguing for/against borders. Sub-aspect of `proximity`; read that first if you haven''t already.

From the source SKILL.md

Tables stress proximity in two directions at once: rows should read as discrete records (vertical proximity binding cells of the same row, separating them from cells of neighbor rows), and columns should read as semantic groupings (horizontal proximity within a column header, between header and cells). Most table problems are proximity problems disguised as styling problems.

What this skill does

Proximity Data Tables is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/proximity-data-tables/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Proximity Data Tables Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 178,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Proximity Data Tables" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Proximity Data Tables skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Proximity Data Tables is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
