$npx -y skills add Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills --skill documentDocument accessibility decisions and tradeoffs for a feature. Chains: decision-documentation, tradeoff-analysis, compliance-mapping. Use when a feature is being designed or shipped and accessibility decisions need to be captured.
| 1 | # Document Accessibility Decisions |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Capture all accessibility decisions for a feature in a single, |
| 4 | structured record that will survive team changes and redesigns. |

| 6 | ## Process |
| 7 | |
| 8 | ### Step 1: Identify Decisions |
| 9 | List every design or implementation choice that affects accessibility: |
| 10 | - Interaction patterns chosen |
| 11 | - Content and language decisions |
| 12 | - Visual design decisions |
| 13 | - What was included and what was deferred |
| 14 | - Tradeoffs made under constraints |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ### Step 2: Document Each Decision |
| 17 | Using **decision-documentation**, for each decision record: |
| 18 | - Context: what prompted the decision |
| 19 | - Decision: what was chosen |
| 20 | - Alternatives: what was considered and rejected |
| 21 | - Impact: who benefits, who is affected |
| 22 | - Evidence: what supported the decision |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ### Step 3: Analyse Tradeoffs |
| 25 | Using **tradeoff-analysis**, for any decision where accessibility |
| 26 | was compromised or where user needs conflicted: |
| 27 | - Who benefits from each option |
| 28 | - Who is harmed by each option |
| 29 | - Severity asymmetry (blocked vs friction) |
| 30 | - Remediation plan for excluded users |
| 31 | - Review date |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ### Step 4: Map to Standards |
| 34 | Using **compliance-mapping**, map each decision to the relevant |
| 35 | WCAG criteria: |
| 36 | - Which criteria does this decision satisfy |
| 37 | - Which criteria does this decision affect |
| 38 | - Are there any conformance risks |
| 39 | |
| 40 | ## Output |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Deliver a feature accessibility decision record: |
| 43 | |
| 44 | 1. **Feature summary** — what was built and for whom |
| 45 | 2. **Decision log** — each decision in the standard format |
| 46 | 3. **Tradeoff register** — any tradeoffs with remediation plans |
| 47 | 4. **Compliance map** — WCAG criteria coverage and gaps |
| 48 | 5. **Open items** — deferred decisions that need future resolution |
