reflow_layout
Calculates the dynamic layout positions for a Frame's children using the internal Flex/Grid engine.
Tool Overview & Agent Execution
reflow_layout is an official Exode MCP tool that allows AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf to calculates the dynamic layout positions for a frame's children using the internal flex/grid engine.. It directly inspects and modifies local .exode JSON files with precision without manual UI tweaking.
Example Prompt for Claude Code & Cursor
Give this instruction to your AI coding agent to execute this tool on your active .exode workspace:
prompt
"Use reflow_layout to configure the motion properties in my active .exode workspace"Tool Parameters & Input Schema
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| apply | boolean | Optional | If true, commits the new positions to the file. |
| frameId | string | Yes | The frameId parameter for reflow_layout. |
| path | string | Yes | The path parameter for reflow_layout. |
More State Machines & Logic Tools
add_behavior
Adds a behavioral sensor (Proximity, Magnetic, Fluid, Sticky, etc) to an object for interactive motion.
add_flow_rule
RECOMMENDED SEQUENCING PRIMITIVE: Adds an animation flow/sequencer rule to orchestrate multi-step transitions and state-driven animations without raster effects.
add_input
RECOMMENDED STATE MACHINE PRIMITIVE: Adds a reactive input variable (Boolean, Number, Trigger, Text) to the state machine to model component states without heavy raster effects.
add_input_variable
RECOMMENDED STATE MACHINE PRIMITIVE (Alias for add_input): Adds a reactive state machine variable to cleanly drive interactive states.
Build & Review Motion Visually
Let Claude or Cursor run reflow_layout, then fine-tune timing, spring physics, and export ready-to-ship code in ExodeUI.
