SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps architects and designers create buildings and spaces that are accessible, dignified, and usable for people with mobility, sensory, cognitive, and temporary impairments while aligning with major accessibility standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Universal Design Guidance: Apply the 7 Principles of Universal Design to entrances, circulation, services, and furnishings so spaces work for the broadest possible user range.
  • Code and Standards Reference: Use detailed dimensional guidance for ADA/ABA, BS 8300, DIN 18040, AS 1428, and NBC/Harmonised Guidelines to evaluate compliance and compare jurisdictional differences.
  • Inclusive Detail Planning: Specify clearances, reach ranges, ramp and stair geometry, toilet and shower layouts, tactile signage, parking provisions, hearing loops, visual alarms, and sensory-friendly design features.
  • Use Case: Review a mixed-use building layout to verify accessible routes, restroom layouts, signage placement, and parking counts before issuing construction documents.

Quick Start

Use the accessibility-design skill to check my building plan for accessibility compliance, universal design improvements, and jurisdiction-specific dimensional requirements.
