What it does

Feedback And Status is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills. Design feedback and status communication that works across senses — visual, auditory, and haptic. Use when designing loading states, success messages, progress indicators, notifications, alerts, or any system response to user action. Triggers on: feedback, status, notification, alert, loading, progress, success message, confirmation, toast, snackbar, screen reader announcement, aria-live, colour alone.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility and Design review and critique. The repository describes itself as: Inclusive design skills for AI coding agents — from cognitive accessibility to adaptive interfaces, inclusive research, and accessibility decision-making. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing loading states
  • Success messages
  • Progress indicators
  • Any system response to user action

Example prompts

  • “/feedback-and-status”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Is colour ever the only indicator of status?
  2. Can a screen reader user perceive every status change?
  3. Are error messages persistent until resolved?
  4. Do transient messages display long enough to be read?
  5. Does every user action produce perceivable feedback?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e0740f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Feedback And Status loads about 871 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 407 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~871

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Design feedback and status communication that works across senses — visual, auditory, and haptic. Use when designing loading states, success messages, progress indicators, notifications, alerts, or any system response to user action. Triggers on: feedback, status, notification, alert, loading, progress, success message, confirmation, toast, snackbar, screen reader announcement, aria-live, colour alone.

Feedback and Status Design

Design system feedback that reaches every user — regardless of whether they can see the screen, hear audio, or feel vibration. No single sense should be the only channel.

Core Principle

Never communicate status through one sense alone. What happens if the user can't see it? Can't hear it? Can't feel it?

The Multi-Channel Rule

Every piece of feedback should work through at least two channels:

Feedback typeVisualTextSoundHaptic
SuccessGreen tick"Saved successfully"Confirmation toneShort vibration
ErrorRed highlightSpecific error messageAlert toneDouble vibration
LoadingSpinner/bar"Loading..."None (silence)None
WarningYellow bannerWarning textOptional toneOptional vibration

Screen readers are a critical third channel — all visual feedback must be announced to assistive technology.

Design Patterns

Don't Rely on Colour Alone
  • Red/green is invisible to 8% of men with colour vision deficiency
  • Always combine colour with: icon, text label, pattern, or position
  • Error states: red + error icon + text description
  • Success states: green + tick icon + text confirmation
  • Test: does this still communicate the same thing in greyscale?
Immediate Feedback
  • Button press: visual change within 100ms (pressed state)
  • Form submission: loading indicator within 1 second
  • Completion: success message within 2 seconds of finishing
  • Error: highlight the specific field, not just a banner at the top
Persistent vs. Transient Feedback
  • Transient (toast/snackbar): only for non-critical confirmations. Show for at least 5 seconds. Include a way to review missed messages.
  • Persistent (inline): for errors, warnings, and anything the user needs to act on. Never auto-dismiss error messages.
  • Screen reader users miss transient messages — use aria-live="polite" for non-urgent updates, aria-live="assertive" for critical alerts.
Show full SKILL.md (138 more words)Show less
Progress Communication
  • Determinate progress (known duration): show percentage or step count
  • Indeterminate progress (unknown duration): show spinner with text like "Loading your results..."
  • Long processes (over 10 seconds): add estimated time remaining
  • Very long processes: allow background processing with notification on completion
Status Without Vision
  • All status changes must be announced to screen readers
  • Use aria-live regions for dynamic content updates
  • Don't rely on visual position alone to convey status (e.g., a moved item in a kanban board needs a text announcement)
  • Error messages must be programmatically associated with their field (aria-describedby)

Assessment Questions

  1. Is colour ever the only indicator of status?
  2. Can a screen reader user perceive every status change?
  3. Are error messages persistent until resolved?
  4. Do transient messages display long enough to be read?
  5. Does every user action produce perceivable feedback?
