About review
A skill for conducting a structured cognitive accessibility review of an interface, flow, or content. It combines six assessment areas and produces findings with severity, affected groups, and prioritized recommendations.
Key features
- 01Six-phase cognitive accessibility review
- 02Assessment of cognitive load dimensions
- 03Review of language and wayfinding
- 04Checks for errors, focus, and memory load
- 05Screen-by-screen findings and recommendations
Use cases
- 01Reviewing a multi-step interface flow
- 02Finding confusing or cognitively demanding screens
- 03Prioritizing fixes by impact and effort

Details
From the project READMECognitive Accessibility Review
Run a comprehensive cognitive accessibility review. This command chains six skills into a structured assessment.
Process
Phase 1: Context
Identify the interface, flow, or content to review. Establish:
- Who uses this and what cognitive state they're likely in
- What the stakes are (low, medium, high)
- What cognitive demands the task makes
Phase 2: Cognitive Load Assessment
Using the cognitive-load-assessment skill, evaluate each screen or step across all six dimensions: decisions, memory, new concepts, steps, reading complexity, and visual complexity.
Phase 3: Language Review
Using the plain-language-design skill, review all user-facing text for readability, jargon, ambiguity, and action clarity.
Phase 4: Wayfinding Check
Using the wayfinding-navigation skill, verify that users always know where they are, where they can go, and how to get back.
Phase 5: Error & Focus Review
Using error-prevention-recovery and focus-attention-design skills, review error handling patterns and identify distractions or attention hazards.
Phase 6: Memory Load Check
Using the memory-load-reduction skill, identify any place where users must remember information across screens, steps, or sessions.
Output
Present findings as a structured report:
- Executive summary — overall cognitive accessibility rating and top 3 issues
- Screen-by-screen findings — table of issues by screen/step with severity (critical / major / minor)
- Prioritised recommendations — specific fixes ranked by impact and effort
- Population impact — which user groups are most affected by each issue
Severity definitions:
- Critical — prevents task completion for users with cognitive disabilities
- Major — causes significant difficulty or confusion
- Minor — creates friction but doesn't block completion
