SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the cognitive friction that makes digital products unusable for neurodivergent users, such as those with ADHD, autism, or dyslexia, by identifying and repairing barriers related to memory, attention, and sensory load.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cognitive Friction Mapping: Analyzes user flows to identify points of high cognitive demand, such as excessive memory requirements or unpredictable interface changes.
  • Neurodivergent Design Patterns: Provides actionable, evidence-based repairs for readability, plain language, and sensory regulation.
  • Use Case: Use this skill to audit a complex onboarding flow to ensure it is predictable, allows for progress saving, and minimizes sensory overload for users with ADHD and autism.

Quick Start

Run the cognitive-a11y skill to audit the current user flow for cognitive friction and generate a prioritized repair ledger.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my UI design for cognitive accessibility barriers?▼

Cognitive friction in onboarding flows is caused by high cognitive demand, excessive memory requirements, unpredictable interface changes, and sensory overload. Auditing these flows identifies barriers impacting neurodivergent users and produces evidence-backed repairs to ensure predictability and progress saving.

What design patterns help reduce sensory overload for neurodivergent users?▼

WCAG understandable-criteria and W3C COGA guidelines provide the evidence-based framework for mitigating cognitive accessibility barriers. Adhering to these standards ensures that UI/UX design audits, content strategy, and flow optimization effectively reduce memory, attention, and sensory load for neurodivergent users.

How do I optimize a user flow to minimize attention and memory load?▼

Yes, you can remediate cognitive friction in complex user flows without heavy dependencies. The process analyzes user flows to identify cognitive barriers and generates a prioritized repair ledger, providing actionable repairs for readability, plain language, and sensory regulation based on W3C COGA guidelines.

When should I apply W3C COGA guidelines in my UX design process?▼

You should apply W3C COGA guidelines during UX design audits, content strategy formulation, and flow optimization when targeting neurodivergent users. This ensures adherence to accessibility standards, effectively reducing memory, attention, and sensory load barriers for conditions like ADHD, autism, and dyslexia.
