What it does

Responsive Accessibility is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills. Design responsive layouts that maintain accessibility across screen sizes, zoom levels, and orientations. Use when designing responsive interfaces, testing zoom behaviour, or reviewing layouts across devices. Triggers on: responsive, zoom, reflow, breakpoint, mobile accessibility, screen size, orientation, viewport, 200% zoom, text scaling, layout shift, horizontal scroll.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 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 Responsive design and Accessibility. 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 responsive interfaces
  • Testing zoom behaviour
  • Reviewing layouts across devices
  • Mobile accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/responsive-accessibility”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Test at 100%, 150%, and 200% browser zoom on a 1280px viewport
  2. Test at 320px viewport width (mobile equivalent)
  3. Test in both portrait and landscape orientation
  4. Test with system font size set to largest option
  5. At each test point verify: no horizontal scroll, no clipped text,

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

Responsive Accessibility loads about 921 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 468 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~921

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 responsive layouts that maintain accessibility across screen sizes, zoom levels, and orientations. Use when designing responsive interfaces, testing zoom behaviour, or reviewing layouts across devices. Triggers on: responsive, zoom, reflow, breakpoint, mobile accessibility, screen size, orientation, viewport, 200% zoom, text scaling, layout shift, horizontal scroll.

Responsive Accessibility

Responsive design isn't just about screen size — it's about ensuring accessibility holds at every viewport, zoom level, and orientation. A layout that works at 1440px but breaks at 200% zoom has failed the users who need zoom most.

Core Requirements

Text Reflow at 200% Zoom
  • All content must reflow into a single column at 200% zoom with no horizontal scrolling
  • This is WCAG 2.1 Level AA (Success Criterion 1.4.10)
  • Test by setting browser zoom to 200% at 1280px viewport — the result must be usable without horizontal scroll
  • Exceptions: data tables, maps, and diagrams may scroll horizontally if no information is lost
Text Scaling to 200%
  • All text must remain readable when scaled to 200%
  • Text must not be clipped, truncated, or overlap other elements
  • Use relative units (rem, em, %) not fixed pixels for text
  • Line height and spacing should scale proportionally
Orientation Freedom
  • Content must work in both portrait and landscape orientation
  • Never lock orientation unless essential to function (a piano app may need landscape; a form never does)
  • Some users mount devices in fixed orientations due to physical setup — locking orientation can block access entirely

Design Patterns

Fluid Layout
  • Use flexible grids that adapt rather than fixed breakpoints that snap
  • Set max-width on content containers for readability (45–75 characters per line)
  • Let whitespace compress before content reflows
  • Avoid fixed-width elements that force horizontal scroll
Content Priority
  • Define what's essential at each breakpoint
  • On small screens: show core content, provide access to rest
  • Don't hide critical functionality behind "desktop only" features
  • Navigation should adapt (hamburger menu is fine) but all destinations must remain accessible
Show full SKILL.md (202 more words)Show less
Touch and Pointer Adaptation
  • At small viewports: increase touch targets to 48px minimum
  • At large viewports: pointer-friendly sizes are acceptable (24px minimum)
  • Detect pointer type with @media (pointer: coarse) for touch-first sizing
  • Spacing between targets should increase on touch devices
Zoom-Safe Patterns
  • Sticky headers must not consume excessive vertical space at zoom (a header that takes 30% of the viewport at 200% zoom is a barrier)
  • Fixed-position elements must be tested at 200% zoom
  • Tooltips and popovers must remain visible and reachable at zoom
  • Modal dialogs must be scrollable if content exceeds viewport at zoom

Testing Protocol

  1. Test at 100%, 150%, and 200% browser zoom on a 1280px viewport
  2. Test at 320px viewport width (mobile equivalent)
  3. Test in both portrait and landscape orientation
  4. Test with system font size set to largest option
  5. At each test point verify: no horizontal scroll, no clipped text, no overlapping elements, all interactions functional

Assessment Checklist

  • Content reflows at 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling
  • Text remains readable at 200% scaling
  • Both orientations are supported
  • Touch targets increase at small viewports
  • Sticky/fixed elements don't dominate the viewport at zoom
  • No functionality is lost at any supported viewport size
  • All text uses relative units
