What it does

Motion Sensitivity is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills. Design for people with vestibular disorders, motion sensitivity, or seizure conditions. Use when designing animations, transitions, parallax scrolling, video backgrounds, carousels, or any moving content. Triggers on: motion, animation, vestibular, motion sickness, dizzy, nausea, parallax, autoplay, flashing, seizure, prefers-reduced-motion, spinning, scrolljacking.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 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 animations
  • Parallax scrolling
  • Video backgrounds
  • Any moving content

Example prompts

  • “/motion-sensitivity”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Does the interface respect prefers-reduced-motion?
  2. Is there any flashing content faster than 3 times per second?
  3. Can all animations be paused, stopped, or hidden?
  4. Does any content autoplay with motion?
  5. Are parallax or scroll-triggered animations present? Do they

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

Motion Sensitivity loads about 819 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~819

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 for people with vestibular disorders, motion sensitivity, or seizure conditions. Use when designing animations, transitions, parallax scrolling, video backgrounds, carousels, or any moving content. Triggers on: motion, animation, vestibular, motion sickness, dizzy, nausea, parallax, autoplay, flashing, seizure, prefers-reduced-motion, spinning, scrolljacking.

Motion Sensitivity Design

Design motion that serves function without causing harm. For people with vestibular disorders, the wrong animation isn't just annoying — it can trigger vertigo, nausea, migraines, or seizures that last hours or days.

Who This Is For

  • People with vestibular disorders (estimated 35% of adults over 40)
  • People with migraine conditions triggered by visual motion
  • People with photosensitive epilepsy (flashing triggers seizures)
  • People experiencing concussion recovery
  • People with anxiety disorders (unexpected motion increases stress)
  • Anyone experiencing motion sickness

Dangerous Motion to Avoid

Never Use
  • Flashing content faster than 3 times per second (seizure risk — this is a WCAG Level A requirement, not optional)
  • Large-area flashing in any colour (even at slower rates)
  • Strobing or pulsing effects
Use With Extreme Caution
  • Parallax scrolling (triggers vestibular responses)
  • Scroll-jacking (overriding native scroll behaviour)
  • Zoom animations that scale the full viewport
  • Spinning or rotating elements
  • Auto-advancing carousels or slideshows
  • Background video

Design Patterns

Respect prefers-reduced-motion

This is the minimum. Non-negotiable.

When prefers-reduced-motion is set:

  • Replace animated transitions with instant state changes
  • Stop all autoplay video and animation
  • Disable parallax effects
  • Disable scroll-triggered animations
  • Keep essential motion only (loading indicators) and simplify them
Motion Budget

Not all motion is equal. Allocate motion deliberately:

  • Essential motion: loading spinners, progress bars, state transitions that communicate meaning. Keep these but simplify.
  • Helpful motion: hover effects, subtle transitions that aid understanding. Keep but make instant when reduced motion is on.
  • Decorative motion: background animations, entrance effects, parallax. Remove entirely.

Safe Animation Principles
  • Keep animations short (under 300ms for transitions)
  • Use opacity and colour changes instead of position changes where possible (less vestibular impact)
  • Avoid animating large areas of the screen simultaneously
  • Provide play/pause controls on all moving content
  • Never autoplay anything — let the user opt in
Video and Moving Backgrounds
  • Never autoplay with motion — show a static poster image first
  • Provide a visible pause/stop button
  • If background video is used: offer a static alternative
  • Ensure content is fully readable with video paused

Assessment Questions

  1. Does the interface respect prefers-reduced-motion?
  2. Is there any flashing content faster than 3 times per second?
  3. Can all animations be paused, stopped, or hidden?
  4. Does any content autoplay with motion?
  5. Are parallax or scroll-triggered animations present? Do they have a static alternative?
