Public Skills
design-debt-audit
by Owl-Listener
Inventory and prioritise accumulated design inconsistencies across a product. Use when drift has built up over time. For token coverage specifically use design-token-audit (designer-toolkit); for WCAG gaps use accessibility-audit (design-systems).
design-critique
by Owl-Listener
Facilitate a structured team critique — framing, feedback rules, and actionable outcomes. Use when running a session with people in the room. For a solo expert review, use heuristic-evaluation (prototyping-testing).
handoff
by Owl-Listener
"Generate an accessibility decision handoff for engineering. Chains: decision-documentation, compliance-mapping, accessibility-testing-strategy. Use when a design is ready for implementation and the engineering team needs clear accessibility specifications."
review
by Owl-Listener
"Review and surface undocumented accessibility assumptions in an existing feature or product. Chains: decision-documentation, tradeoff-analysis, compliance-mapping, accessibility-debt-tracking. Use when inheriting a product, joining a team, or auditing a feature where accessibility decisions were never formally captured."
document
by Owl-Listener
"Document accessibility decisions and tradeoffs for a feature. Chains: decision-documentation, tradeoff-analysis, compliance-mapping. Use when a feature is being designed or shipped and accessibility decisions need to be captured."
accessibility-testing-strategy
by Owl-Listener
"Plan what to test, how to test, and who should test for accessibility. Use when defining a testing approach, planning QA, setting up automated and manual testing, or deciding what level of accessibility testing a project needs. Triggers on: accessibility testing, how to test, test plan, automated testing, manual testing, screen reader testing, user testing, accessibility QA, what to test, testing strategy."
accessibility-debt-tracking
by Owl-Listener
"Track and manage accessibility debt — known accessibility issues that have been deferred. Use when managing a backlog of accessibility issues, planning remediation, or when accessibility problems are accumulating faster than they're being fixed. Triggers on: accessibility debt, tech debt, known issues, backlog, deferred, we'll fix it later, remediation, accessibility backlog, accumulating issues, regression."
stakeholder-communication
by Owl-Listener
"Communicate accessibility decisions, requirements, and value to stakeholders who aren't accessibility specialists. Use when presenting accessibility work to leadership, product managers, engineers, or anyone who needs to understand why accessibility decisions matter. Triggers on: stakeholder, business case, justify accessibility, explain accessibility, leadership, executive, ROI, why accessibility, cost of accessibility, persuade, convince, accessibility presentation."
compliance-mapping
by Owl-Listener
"Map design decisions to accessibility standards and legal requirements. Use when documenting WCAG conformance, preparing for audits, tracking compliance status, or when legal or procurement requires accessibility documentation. Triggers on: WCAG, compliance, conformance, audit, VPAT, accessibility statement, legal requirement, ADA, EAA, European Accessibility Act, Section 508, EN 301 549, accessibility standard, success criterion."
tradeoff-analysis
by Owl-Listener
"Analyse accessibility tradeoffs when a design decision improves accessibility for one group but may affect another, or when accessibility competes with other requirements. Use when facing conflicting accessibility needs, business pressure to reduce accessibility scope, or technical constraints that limit accessibility options. Triggers on: tradeoff, trade-off, compromise, accessibility vs performance, accessibility vs deadline, conflicting needs, which users, who do we prioritise, can't do both, accessibility scope."
decision-documentation
by Owl-Listener
"Document accessibility decisions and the reasoning behind them so they survive team changes, redesigns, and time. Use when making accessibility tradeoffs, choosing between approaches, or when a decision needs to be recorded for future reference. Triggers on: accessibility decision, why did we, tradeoff, decision record, ADR, architecture decision, accessibility rationale, why is it like this, document the decision, decision log."
responsive-review
by Owl-Listener
"Review responsive and flexible layout for accessibility across devices, zoom levels, and orientations. Chains: responsive-accessibility, flexible-typography, information-density. Use when testing an existing interface across screen sizes and zoom levels for accessibility."
preference-audit
by Owl-Listener
"Audit an existing interface for respect of user preferences including motion, contrast, colour scheme, and text scaling. Chains: user-preference-respect, responsive-accessibility, colour-independence. Use when reviewing an existing product for adaptive behaviour."
specify
by Owl-Listener
"Specify adaptive behaviour for an interface. Chains: user-preference-respect, responsive-accessibility, flexible-typography, colour-independence, simplified-views, information-density. Use when designing a new interface and you want to build adaptability in from the start."
information-density
by Owl-Listener
"Design interfaces where information density can be adjusted to suit different cognitive needs and preferences. Use when designing dashboards, data tables, feeds, inboxes, settings panels, or any interface with variable amounts of content. Triggers on: information density, too dense, too sparse, compact view, comfortable view, spacing, whitespace, data density, content density, crowded, breathing room."
simplified-views
by Owl-Listener
"Design simplified and reduced-complexity views of interfaces for users who need less visual noise and fewer options. Use when designing settings, dashboards, complex tools, or any interface that could benefit from a simpler mode. Triggers on: simplified view, simple mode, easy mode, basic view, reduce complexity, less clutter, overwhelmed, too many options, beginner mode, essential view, focus mode."
colour-independence
by Owl-Listener
"Design interfaces where colour is never the only way information is communicated. Use when designing status indicators, data visualisations, form validation, alerts, maps, or any content that uses colour to convey meaning. Triggers on: colour blind, color blind, colour alone, color alone, colour vision, color vision, red green, deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia, colour coding, status colour, chart colours, accessible colours."
flexible-typography
by Owl-Listener
"Design typography systems that adapt to user needs — scaling, spacing, and font preferences. Use when designing type systems, setting font sizes, defining line heights, or reviewing text readability across conditions. Triggers on: typography, font size, line height, letter spacing, word spacing, text scaling, dyslexia font, readable font, type scale, font units, rem, em, px, reading difficulty."
responsive-accessibility
by Owl-Listener
"Design responsive layouts that maintain accessibility across screen sizes, zoom levels, and orientations. Use when designing responsive interfaces, testing zoom behaviour, or reviewing layouts across devices. Triggers on: responsive, zoom, reflow, breakpoint, mobile accessibility, screen size, orientation, viewport, 200% zoom, text scaling, layout shift, horizontal scroll."
user-preference-respect
by Owl-Listener
"Design interfaces that detect and respond to system-level user preferences. Use when implementing dark mode, reduced motion, high contrast, text scaling, or any user preference that affects how the interface renders. Triggers on: user preference, system preference, prefers-reduced-motion, prefers-contrast, prefers-color-scheme, forced-colors, media query, user settings, system settings, accessibility settings, OS settings."
structure
by Owl-Listener
"Structure content for screen reader and assistive technology use. Chains: heading-structure, alt-text-design, table-accessibility, form-labelling. Use when building a new page, document, or content template and you want to get the structural accessibility right from the start."
rewrite
by Owl-Listener
"Rewrite content in plain language while preserving meaning. Chains: readable-content, link-text-design. Use when given content that is too complex, jargon-heavy, or inaccessible for the target audience."
