Measure rendered size of strings and attributed strings, size views to fit text content, and read per-line metrics from NSLayoutManager and NSTextLayoutManager. Covers boundingRect with NSStringDrawingOptions, NSStringDrawingContext for auto-shrink, sizeThatFits, intrinsicContentSize, usedRect, enumerateLineFragments, usageBoundsForTextContainer, line-fragment typographic bounds, and the lineFragmentPadding/textContainerInset arithmetic that makes measurements match what UITextView actually renders. Use when text clips by a pixel, boundingRect returns a single-line size for multi-line text, a self-sizing UITextView refuses to size, intrinsicContentSize is wrong, or the user needs line counts. Do NOT use for paragraph style, hyphenation, or line height — see txt-line-breaking. Do NOT use for layout invalidation timing — see txt-layout-invalidation.

What this skill does
Txt Measurement is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the threat-hunting sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/txt-measurement/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when text clips by a pixel, boundingRect returns a single-line size for multi-line text, a self-sizing UITextView refuses to size, intrinsicContentSize is wrong, or the user needs line counts. Do NOT use for paragraph style, hyphenation, or line height — see txt-line-breaking.
