Audit the cognitive load of your interface

Lowering cognitive load in any interface can help it outperform. I wanted to quickly run tests against existing interfaces, code and even just flat images so I put this skill together.

The audit runs against 76 evidence-based cognitive design principles based on the sources below.

Sources: W3C COGA Guidelines, CPACC Body of Knowledge, Microsoft Inclusive Design, DfE COGA Guidelines, Universal Design Principles, Home Office Accessibility Posters.

When to use this skill

• Reviewing or critiquing any UI (code, screenshots, mockups, descriptions)

• Building new screens, forms, or flows

• Checking cognitive accessibility beyond WCAG compliance

• Advising on UX improvements

How to use this skill

Simply drop it into Claude skills and it'll trigger when you ask Claude about cognitive load, inclusive design, or cognitive accessibility.
