At a glance
A skill your agent uses when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Avoid sensory-only instructions.
- Reviewing rendered HTML
- SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Check, Fix and Explain, plus 1 more section
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Interactive components
What it does
Sensory Instructions is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Avoid sensory-only instructions. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.
Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/rule.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility and Design systems. The repository describes itself as: 🗂 The essential checklist for modern web development, for humans and AI agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing rendered HTML
- Interactive components
- Design-system patterns related to Avoid sensory-only instructions
Example prompts
- “/sensory-instructions”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
frontendchecklist.io
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
Sensory Instructions loads about 533 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 216 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.

Avoid sensory-only instructions
Color-blind users can't see 'click the red button,' screen reader users can't perceive 'the menu on the right,' and deaf users miss audio cues—multi-modal instructions include everyone.
Quick Reference
- Don't use color alone to convey information (red=error)
- Add text labels to shape and location references
- Provide visual alternatives for audio cues
- Combine multiple cues so all users can understand
Check
Review instructions and verify they don't rely only on color ('click the red button'), shape ('the circular icon'), location ('the menu on the right'), or sound ('when you hear the beep'). Ensure text labels supplement visual cues.
Fix
Add text labels to visual instructions. Instead of 'click the green button', use 'click the Submit button (green)'. Combine multiple cues so users who cannot perceive one can still understand via another.
Explain
Explain how color-blind users cannot distinguish color-only cues, screen reader users cannot perceive location or shape, and deaf users miss audio-only signals, making multi-modal instructions essential.
Code Review
Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Avoid sensory-only instructions. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.
