What it does
Specify is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills. Specify adaptive behaviour for an interface. Chains: user-preference-respect, responsive-accessibility, flexible-typography, colour-independence, simplified-views, information-density. Use when designing a new interface and you want to build adaptability in from the start.
Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Typography 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 a new interface and you want to build adaptability in from the start
- Tasks that involve Typography
- Tasks that involve Accessibility
Example prompts
- “/specify”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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
Specify loads about 567 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 237 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.

- description
- Specify adaptive behaviour for an interface. Chains: user-preference-respect, responsive-accessibility, flexible-typography, colour-independence, simplified-views, information-density. Use when designing a new interface and you want to build adaptability in from the start.
Specify Adaptive Behaviour
Define how an interface adapts to diverse user needs — preferences, screen conditions, and cognitive requirements — as part of the design specification, not as a retrofit.
Process
Step 1: Define Preference Responses
Using user-preference-respect, specify how the interface responds to each system preference:
- prefers-reduced-motion: what changes
- prefers-contrast: what changes
- prefers-color-scheme: what changes
- forced-colors: what changes
- prefers-reduced-transparency: what changes
Step 2: Define Responsive Behaviour
Using responsive-accessibility, specify:
- Breakpoints and what reflows at each
- Behaviour at 200% zoom
- Orientation support
- Touch target sizing at each breakpoint
Step 3: Define Typography Behaviour
Using flexible-typography, specify:
- Type scale with relative units
- Line height and spacing values
- Behaviour when user scales text to 200%
- Dark mode typography adjustments
Step 4: Define Colour Strategy
Using colour-independence, specify:
- How every colour-encoded meaning has a second encoding
- Status indicator design (colour + icon + text)
- Chart and data visualisation colour strategy
- Greyscale test results
Step 5: Define View Options
Using simplified-views and information-density, specify:
- What simplified view contains vs full view
- How users toggle between views
- Available density levels
- Default density per viewport and context
Output
Deliver an adaptive behaviour specification:
- Preference response table — each system preference and the interface's response
- Responsive behaviour map — what changes at each breakpoint and zoom level
- Typography specification — scale, units, spacing, scaling behaviour
- Colour independence audit — every colour-dependent element and its second encoding
- View and density options — what's available and how users control it
