# phase-06-storyboard-layout — card lookup

Every card id in this phase: **194** across **5** files.

> **Do not read this file. Search it.**
>
> It is a lookup table, not a document. Opening it whole costs a large part of a
> context window to find one row. Every card id carries a prefix, so **search for the
> prefix or the id** and read only the lines that come back.
>
> To browse rather than look up, open [`INDEX.md`](INDEX.md): it is grouped by module
> and it names what each file is for.
>
> **Prefixes in this phase:** `comp.` (69), `block.` (64), `meso_stage.` (22), `board_arch.` (21), `anim_time.` (18)
