 "title": "Use small robot avatars in a chat or user list",
 "page_title": "How to use small robot avatars in a chat or user list with Robot Heads",
 "summary": "Drop a compact robot head into list rows using the antenna-free small size option.",
 "who": "A developer building a list of agents or bots, such as a sidebar of chat assistants, where each row needs a small avatar.",
 "problem": "A full-size robot with an antenna wastes space in a small avatar slot, and list layouts can clip animations.",
 "outcome": "Compact robot avatars in each row that fill their box, with a clear accessible label for screen readers.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npm install robot-heads` in the project.",
  "Render RobotHead in each list row with antenna={false} and a small size.",
  "Pass your own aria-label if the default state label does not describe the bot.",
  "Check that the row container does not use overflow: hidden around the avatar, since hops would be cut off.",
  "Scroll the list and confirm the avatars sit flush with the text in each row."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the React project at <project path>, install robot-heads and render a list of agent avatars using RobotHead with antenna={false} and a small size. Expected output: a list component where each avatar keeps its state and has an aria-label. Verify that no parent element in the list uses overflow: hidden around the avatar.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README notes that antenna={false} only drops the stem and light, so the bot still needs the default knob on top and the square or circle shape will look best at small sizes.",
