SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Products often embed hidden assumptions about users' vision, hearing, dexterity, cognition, or environment, silently excluding people from completing core tasks. This Skill helps you detect those exclusion points early and redesign participation so more people can succeed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Exclusion Analysis: Frame barriers as interaction mismatches rather than user deficits, mapping capability demands across every task step. - Participation Redesign: Apply solve-for-one-extend-to-many thinking to create viable alternative paths (e.g., drag plus explicit move controls, audio plus captions) without weakening the original accommodation. - Evidence-Based Verification: Combine lived-experience user evaluation with standards-based checks (WCAG, platform conventions) and record remaining exclusions in an exclusion matrix. - Use Case: When designing a new onboarding flow, use this Skill to audit each step's capability demands, identify where one-handed or low-vision users would be blocked, and design equivalent alternative paths before implementation. ## Quick Start Use the inclusive-design skill to review my checkout flow and identify where it excludes users with different abilities or environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about inclusive-design

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find exclusion points in a product design?

Map each task step's capability demands, such as vision, hearing, dexterity, memory, or timing, then check where the product offers only one success path. Describe each barrier as an interaction mismatch, not a user deficit, and record it in an exclusion matrix.

What is the difference between inclusive design and accessibility audit?

Inclusive design works upstream, identifying exclusion and designing participation models before or during design. An accessibility audit re-tests an existing artifact against WCAG, keyboard, semantic, and contrast criteria. Use inclusive design first, then audit the result.

Does inclusive design mean making one solution that works for everyone?

No. Inclusive design favors multiple viable participation paths over one-size-fits-all solutions. You solve a specific exclusion well first, then check whether the solution transfers to broader audiences without weakening the original accommodation.

Can I use personas or impairment simulations instead of user research?

Simulations and persona spectrums are useful for generating hypotheses but cannot prove lived experience, assistive-technology expertise, or learned strategies. They must be combined with evidence from people who actually experience the relevant barriers.

When should I not use inclusive design as my main approach?

If your goal is a broad WCAG conformance re-test of an existing interface, use an accessibility audit instead. If the focus is memory, attention, interruption, or timeout policy in depth, a cognitive accessibility skill is the better fit.
