Design an interaction flow with inclusive input and output options from the start. Chains: multi-modal-input, keyboard-navigation, touch-target-design, feedback-and-status. Use when designing a new feature, flow, or interface and you want to build inclusive interaction in from the beginning.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by Owl-Listener on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Design Flow AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills/tree/main/inclusive-interaction/skills/design-flow
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills.git /tmp/inclusive-design-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/inclusive-design-skills/inclusive-interaction/skills/design-flow .claude/skills/design-flow
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Design Flow in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Design Flow on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Design Flow is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Design Inclusive Interaction Flow

Design a new interaction flow that supports diverse input methods and provides accessible feedback from the start — not retrofitted after.

Process

Step 1: Identify All Interactions

List every point in the flow where the user must act:

  • Click/tap a button
  • Enter text
  • Make a selection
  • Navigate between steps
  • Drag, swipe, or gesture
  • Respond to a prompt

Step 2: Assign Input Methods

Using multi-modal-input, for each interaction specify how it works across at least three input methods:

  • Keyboard: what keys or shortcuts activate it?
  • Pointer/touch: what is the target size and spacing?
  • Voice (where applicable): what command triggers it?

Flag any interaction that only works with one input method.

Step 3: Design the Keyboard Layer

Using keyboard-navigation, define:

  • Tab order through all interactive elements
  • Focus management for modals, dropdowns, and dynamic content
  • Skip links and landmark navigation
  • Keyboard shortcuts for frequent actions (document them)

Step 4: Specify Targets

Using touch-target-design, specify:

  • Minimum sizes for all interactive elements
  • Spacing between adjacent targets
  • Thumb zone placement for mobile primary actions

Step 5: Design Feedback

Using feedback-and-status, for each interaction specify:

  • What the user sees (visual feedback)
  • What a screen reader announces (text alternative)
  • What happens on success, error, and loading states
  • How feedback works with colour, icon, and text combined

Output

Deliver an interaction specification that includes:

  • Flow diagram with interaction points marked
  • Input method matrix (task × input method)
  • Focus order map
  • Target size annotations
  • Feedback specification per interaction

Frequently asked questions

What does the Design Flow AI skill do?

Design an interaction flow with inclusive input and output options from the start. Chains: multi-modal-input, keyboard-navigation, touch-target-design, feedback-and-status. Use when designing a new feature, flow, or interface and you want to build inclusive interaction in from the beginning.

Why use Design Flow on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Design Flow is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Design Flow in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills/tree/main/inclusive-interaction/skills/design-flow. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Design Flow?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Design Flow?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Design Flow with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Design Flow AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Owl-Listener under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
