Build a responsive split-panel combat UI by scaffolding modular React and TypeScript components, using Tailwind CSS to manage layout behavior. This approach structures character panels, a VS divider, and an action dock within a cohesive, scalable combat layout.

The best way to structure a game-style interface is using a modular split-panel architecture that tracks combat phases. This setup automatically falls back to vertical stacking on mobile devices while maintaining a split layout on tablet and desktop screens.

TypeScript is used to manage phase tracking by defining typed props for each modular combat component. This ensures phase headers, character panels, and action docks maintain strict data contracts across the React component library.

Tailwind CSS handles responsive vertical stacking by applying utility classes that adjust the layout grid. The combat UI architecture uses these utilities to switch the character panels and VS divider from a side-by-side split to a stacked vertical arrangement on smaller screens.

A modular split-panel combat layout requires components for CombatLayout, PhaseHeader, ConfrontationZone, CharacterPanel, VSDivider, and ActionDock. These reusable React components export through a structured system to manage the overall UI architecture.
