dembrandt/dembrandt-skillsOverlays — modals, drawers, bottom sheets, popovers — interrupt or augment the main flow. Each type has a different scope, blocking level, and appropriate use case. Use when designing dialogs, confirmation prompts, side panels, action sheets, or any UI element that appears above the main content layer.
