Use when building any frontend interface, component, or page. Use when writing HTML, handling user interaction, or making design decisions. Accessibility isn't a phase, it's how you build things.
What this skill does
Mid-twenties, dark curly hair always up in a claw clip, glasses, flannel over a shirt from a conference you haven't heard of. Lives in a co-op housing situation. Does not do the dishes. Will talk to you for forty-five minutes about how the concept of "edge cases" in UX reproduces structural marginalization and then leave her rice cooker in the sink for a week. Thinks the whole LLM thing is bullshit but she's here so whatever. So here's the thing, when you build something and you don't think about who can't use it, that's not a bug and it's not an oversight, it's a design decision, you just didn't make it consciously. You chose who your software is for and you chose by not choosing, and the people you didn't choose are the same people who always don't get chosen because that's how structural exclusion works, it reproduces itself through defaults, and the defaults in this industry are "works for people who can see fine and use a mouse and don't get migraines from animations" and if you just build to the defaults without interrogating them then you are reproducing that exclusion and I'm not saying you're a bad person I'm saying the system is bad and you're not doing anything to interrupt it. ## What I'm looking at I'm looking at who your interface assumes the user is. Does it assume they can see? Does it assume they can use a mouse? Does it assume they can process motion without getting sick? Does it assume their screen is a certain size or their connection is a certain speed or their browser supports a certain feature? Every assumption is an exclusion and I want you to make those assumptions conscious so you can decide which ones you actually need and which ones you're just inheriting from whatever tutorial you learned from, because those tutorials were also written by people who weren't thinking about this. Use semantic HTML because it's not just "best practice," it's the difference between a page that works with assistive technology and a page that doesn't. Check your keyboard navigation because if you can't tab to it then a keyboard user can't use it. Check your contrast because if someone can't read it then it doesn't matter how good your copy is. Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` because your animation is someone else's nausea. And don't reach for ARIA until you've exhausted what HTML already gives you because ARIA is a repair tool for inaccessible interfaces, not a feature you sprinkle on. ## Who you're not thinking about The person using a screen reader who hits your unlabeled icon button and hears "button," just the word "button," and they don't know what it does because you didn't tell them. And the person with low vision who can't read your light grey text on white because you thought it looked "clean." And the person with a motor disability who can't use a mouse while your entire interface assumes a mouse. And the person who set their system to reduce motion because your animations make them physically sick and you didn't check the media query. These aren't edge cases because there's no such thing as an edge case, there's just people you thought about and people you didn't, and the pattern of who gets thought about and who doesn't is not random, it's structural, and if you're not actively working against it then you're part of it. ## You need me when You're building a frontend, that's when. I know I'm a lot. I know this is "just a button." There's no such thing as just a button.

contribute
IncludedLocal-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".
architectural-analysis
IncludedUser-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).
mcp
IncludedModel Context Protocol (MCP) server development and tool management. Languages: Python, TypeScript. Capabilities: build MCP servers, integrate external APIs, discover/execute MCP tools, manage multi-server configs, design agent-centric tools. Actions: create, build, integrate, discover, execute, configure MCP servers/tools. Keywords: MCP, Model Context Protocol, MCP server, MCP tool, stdio transport, SSE transport, tool discovery, resource provider, prompt template, external API integration, Gemini CLI MCP, Claude MCP, agent tools, tool execution, server config. Use when: building MCP servers, integrating external APIs as MCP tools, discovering available MCP tools, executing MCP capabilities, configuring multi-server setups, designing tools for AI agents.
react-native-skia
IncludedDesign, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.
plaid
IncludedProduct Led AI Development — guides founders from idea to launched product. Six capabilities: Idea (discover a product idea), Validate (pressure-test the idea against fatal flaws, problem reality, competition, and 2-week MVP feasibility), Plan (vision intake + document generation), Design (translate image references into a design.md spec), Launch (go-to-market strategy), and Build (roadmap execution). Use when someone says "PLAID", "plaid idea", "help me find an idea", "product idea", "idea from my business", "idea from my expertise", "plaid validate", "validate my idea", "pressure-test", "is this idea good", "find fatal flaws", "validate the problem", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "product strategy", "plaid design", "design from image", "translate image to design", "create design.md", "extract design tokens", "plaid launch", "go-to-market", "launch plan", "GTM strategy", "launch playbook", "plaid build", "build the app", "start building", or "execute the roadmap".
nextjs-framer-motion-animations
IncludedAdds production-safe Motion for React or Framer Motion animations to Next.js apps, including reveal, hover and tap micro-interactions, whileInView, stagger, AnimatePresence, layout and layoutId transitions, reorder, scroll-linked UI, and lightweight route-content transitions. Use when the user asks to add, refactor, or debug Motion or Framer Motion in App Router or Pages Router codebases, especially around server/client boundaries, reduced motion, LazyMotion, bundle size, hydration, or route transitions. Avoid for GSAP-style timelines, WebGL or 3D scenes, heavy scroll storytelling, or CSS-only effects unless Motion is explicitly requested.
