What it does
Gesture Alternatives is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills. Design alternatives to gesture-based and motion-based interactions. Use when designing swipe actions, pinch-to-zoom, shake-to-undo, tilt controls, multi-finger gestures, or any interaction that requires specific physical movements. Triggers on: gesture, swipe, pinch, shake, tilt, multi-touch, two-finger, rotation gesture, device motion, accelerometer, gyroscope.
Its SKILL.md is about 700 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. 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 swipe actions
- Multi-finger gestures
- Any interaction that requires specific physical movements
- Rotation gesture
Example prompts
- “/gesture-alternatives”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Does every gesture have a visible, single-action alternative?
- Can users who cannot perform multi-point gestures complete
- Are device-motion interactions optional with on-screen
- Can timed gestures be replaced with untimed actions?
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
Gesture Alternatives loads about 701 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- gesture-alternatives
- description
- Design alternatives to gesture-based and motion-based interactions. Use when designing swipe actions, pinch-to-zoom, shake-to-undo, tilt controls, multi-finger gestures, or any interaction that requires specific physical movements. Triggers on: gesture, swipe, pinch, shake, tilt, multi-touch, two-finger, rotation gesture, device motion, accelerometer, gyroscope.
Gesture Alternatives
Every gesture-based interaction must have a simpler alternative. Gestures that require specific physical movements exclude people with motor disabilities, limb differences, tremors, or limited range of motion.
Core Principle
Gestures are shortcuts, not gatekeepers. The feature they activate must always be reachable another way.
Gesture Types and Required Alternatives
Path-Based Gestures (swipe, draw, drag)
These require tracing a specific path. Many users cannot perform them.
- Swipe to delete → visible delete button
- Swipe to navigate → previous/next buttons
- Draw a shape → select from a menu of shapes
- Drag to reorder → move up/down buttons or numbered input
Multi-Point Gestures (pinch, rotate, two-finger scroll)
These require multiple simultaneous contact points.
- Pinch to zoom → zoom buttons (+/−) and text input for zoom level
- Two-finger rotate → rotation buttons or degree input
- Two-finger scroll → single-finger scroll or visible scrollbar
- Three-finger swipe → visible button or menu option
Device Motion (shake, tilt, rotation)
These require moving the entire device.
- Shake to undo → visible undo button (always)
- Tilt to steer → on-screen directional controls
- Device rotation for content → manual rotation toggle
Timed Gestures (long press, double tap)
These require precise timing.
- Long press for context menu → visible menu trigger (⋮ or ⋯)
- Double tap to zoom → zoom button
- Press and hold to record → toggle start/stop buttons
Design Patterns
Progressive Enhancement
- Build the button-based version first
- Add gesture support as an enhancement on top
- This guarantees the alternative always exists
Discoverability
- Gesture shortcuts should be documented but not required
- Show a hint on first use ("You can also swipe to delete")
- Provide a gesture guide in settings or help
- Never assume users know a gesture exists
Customisation
- Allow users to disable gesture controls entirely
- Allow remapping of gestures where possible
- Respect system-level gesture settings
Assessment Questions
- Does every gesture have a visible, single-action alternative?
- Can users who cannot perform multi-point gestures complete every task?
- Are device-motion interactions optional with on-screen alternatives?
- Can timed gestures be replaced with untimed actions?
