About information-architecture-and-navigation

information-architecture-and-navigation is a reference skill for planning information architecture, covering organization, labeling, navigation, and search. It also addresses classification, wayfinding, device-specific navigation, and research methods for testing findability.

Key features

  1. 01Four-system IA model
  2. 02Exact and ambiguous schemes
  3. 03Depth, breadth, and faceted classification
  4. 04Device-specific navigation patterns
  5. 05Wayfinding and URL structure
  6. 06Card sorting, tree testing, first-click

Use cases

  1. 01Structuring categories and labels for a site
  2. 02Planning navigation across device types
  3. 03Testing whether users can find content

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Decision tree

  1. Is the full skill already installed?

    • Global: grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/information-architecture-and-navigation/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
    • Project: grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/information-architecture-and-navigation/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
    • No das: block → full skill installed, invoke and proceed
    • das: block present → go to step 2

  2. Detect scope, then install:

    [ -e ~/.agents/skills/information-architecture-and-navigation ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

    Global:

    npx skills add jpoindexter/design-and-ai-skills --skill information-architecture-and-navigation -g -y

    Project:

    npx skills add jpoindexter/design-and-ai-skills --skill information-architecture-and-navigation -y

    Claude Code: send either command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

What it does

A 23.8KB IA reference built on Rosenfeld/Morville/Arango (the "polar bear book") four-systems model — organization, labeling, navigation, search — with exact-vs-ambiguous schemes, depth/breadth + faceted classification, per-device navigation patterns, wayfinding mechanics, URLs-as-IA, and the research methods (card sort, tree test, first-click) that prove findability. A strict superset of Owl’s IA skill.

When NOT to use

  • Visual nav-bar styling only → a component/design-system concern
  • Search interaction details → pair with search-ux
