At a glance

A specialized skill for designing the information architecture (IA) of knowledge bases.

  • Works in 7 steps: Organization System → Labeling System → Navigation System → …
  • Tasks that involve UX design
  • SKILL.md covers Target Agent, 4 IA Design Systems, Taxonomy Design Process and Tag System Design, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Information Architecture is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. A specialized skill for designing the information architecture (IA) of knowledge bases. Used by the taxonomy-designer agent when designing classification systems, navigation, and labeling systems. Automatically applied in contexts involving 'information architecture,' 'IA design,' 'category design,' 'navigation,' 'sitemap,' or 'card sorting.' Note: UX research execution and UI prototyping are outside the scope of this skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 UX design and Knowledge bases. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve UX design
  • Tasks that involve Knowledge bases

Example prompts

  • “information architecture,”
  • “IA design,”
  • “category design,”
  • “/information-architecture”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Organization System
  2. Labeling System
  3. Navigation System
  4. Search System
  5. Card Sorting
  6. Sitemap Construction
  7. Cross-Reference Map

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. 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 (its code samples are markdown and yaml).

    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

Information Architecture loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 276 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Information Architecture — IA Design Tool

A specialized skill that enhances the taxonomy-designer agent's classification system design capabilities.

Target Agent

  • taxonomy-designer — Classification systems, tags, navigation design

4 IA Design Systems

1. Organization System
Classification MethodWhen to ApplyExamples
By topicWhen domains are clearly definedDevelopment / Design / Marketing
By audienceWhen user groups differNew hires / Experienced / Managers
By taskWhen centered on user actionsGetting Started / Developing / Deploying
HybridFor complex knowledge basesCategories + Tags
Depth Guidelines
Optimal: 3-4 levels (7 plus/minus 2 rule)

Level 1: 5-9 top-level categories
Level 2: 3-7 subcategories per category
Level 3: 3-10 documents per subcategory
Level 4: (if needed) Handle as sections within documents
2. Labeling System
PrincipleGood ExampleBad Example
User language"Getting Started""Initial Configuration Procedures"
Consistent grammarUniform verb formMix of nouns and verb phrases
Specific"Writing React Components""Components"
No duplicatesOne meaning per labelSame content, different names
3. Navigation System
TypePurposeLocation
Global NavigationAccess to overall structureSidebar / Top bar
Local NavigationBrowse current sectionSub-menu / TOC
Contextual NavigationConnect related contentInline links, "Related Articles"
BreadcrumbShow current locationTop of page
SearchDirect accessGlobal search bar
4. Search System
ElementDesign Items
Search scopeEntire / By category / By tag
IndexingTitle / Body / Tags / Metadata
Synonym dictionarydeploy = deployment, config = configuration
Facet filtersCategory, tag, date, author

Taxonomy Design Process

Step 1: Card Sorting
1. List all knowledge items as cards
2. Group similar cards
3. Assign labels to each group
4. Establish relationships between groups (parent-child, sibling)
5. Visualize results as a dendrogram
Step 2: Sitemap Construction
