Page Table of Contents

Turn a long page into a scannable set of anchored sections.

simple Navigation

What it adds

A generated list of a page's headings, with anchor links and an indicator for the section currently in view.

What your agent is told to do

5
  1. 1

    Generate the table from the headings actually rendered on the page. Do not maintain a hand-written list beside the content — it will drift.

  2. 2

    Derive stable anchor ids from heading text, and disambiguate repeated headings deterministically so a shared link keeps pointing at the same section.

  3. 3

    Offset every jump by the height of any sticky header, so the target heading is not hidden underneath it.

  4. 4

    Track the section in view and mark it, but debounce the switch — a highlight that flickers between two entries at a boundary is worse than none.

  5. 5

    Do not render the table for pages with fewer than about three sections; it adds noise and no navigation value.

Edge cases it handles

6
  • Headings inside collapsed sections must expand their section when linked to, not scroll to nothing.
  • A deep-linked anchor on first load must land correctly even though layout shifts as images and fonts settle.
  • Very long heading text must truncate in the table while keeping the full text as its accessible name.
  • On mobile there is no room for a sidebar — collapse the table to a control at the top rather than dropping it.
  • Content that loads after first paint must update the table, not leave it stale.
  • Keyboard users must be able to tab into the table and land focus on the target heading after activating a link, not just scroll the page.

Definition of done

8
  • Every rendered heading appears in the table, and nothing else does.
  • Anchor ids are stable across reloads and unique when headings repeat.
  • Jumps clear any sticky header.
  • The active-section indicator does not flicker at boundaries.
  • The table is usable on mobile and by keyboard, and moves focus to the target.
  • Short pages render no table at all.
  • The feature matches the existing design system.
  • No existing functionality is broken.

    Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.

Works with your stack

These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
