Inclusive Design Skills

Part of the Designer Skills suite. Install this collection and four more with one command in Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add Owl-Listener/designer-skills

This repo still works on its own. The suite just gives everyone one front door.

Agentic skills for designing accessible, inclusive products — from cognitive accessibility to adaptive interfaces, inclusive research, and accessibility decision-making. 40 skills and 18 commands across 6 plugins.

Works with any AI coding agent that supports the SKILL.md format: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and others.

Why This Exists

Every accessibility skill set that exists today is engineer-facing. They audit code, check WCAG compliance, validate ARIA attributes, and flag contrast ratios. They treat accessibility as a technical implementation problem that gets caught at the end.

This collection operates before code. It shapes decisions about information architecture, language, interaction patterns, cognitive demands, and inclusion — the design layer that determines whether something is genuinely usable, not just technically compliant.

Accessibility isn't a code review. It's a design commitment.

Plugins

Plugin	Skills	Commands	Description
cognitive-accessibility	8	3	Design for how people actually think: cognitive load, plain language, wayfinding, focus, memory, and error recovery.
inclusive-interaction	7	3	Design multi-modal interactions that adapt to how people move, perceive, and communicate.
accessible-content	7	3	Structure content that works for screen readers, cognitive differences, and diverse literacy levels.
inclusive-personas	6	3	Build user stories, personas, and scenarios that include disability from the start.
adaptive-interfaces	6	3	Design systems that respect user preferences and adapt to individual needs.
accessibility-decisions	6	3	Document, communicate, and maintain accessibility decisions across teams and time.

Quick Start

Claude Code

Add the marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills

Then run /plugin, open the Discover tab, and install the plugins you want.

Or get this collection plus four more in one go, through the full suite:

/plugin marketplace add Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Other Tools

Skills use the universal SKILL.md format. Copy the skill folders into your tool's skills directory, or reference them directly from this repo. Each SKILL.md file works as a standalone instruction set.

For manual use without a coding agent: open any SKILL.md file, copy the contents, and paste it as context at the start of a conversation with any AI assistant. The frameworks and decision criteria work regardless of the tool.

What Are Skills and Commands?

• Skills are domain knowledge units (nouns). They teach your AI agent about a specific aspect of inclusive design — like assessing cognitive load, writing plain language content, or designing forgiving error flows.
• Commands are workflows (verbs). They chain multiple skills together to accomplish a task — like running a full cognitive accessibility review or generating an inclusive persona set.
