information-architecture

information-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 31 tokens per session (534 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for organizing information so people can find and understand it easily. It covers navigation, categories, page hierarchies, and user journeys.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan sitemaps, navigation, taxonomies, search structures, and user flows. It also covers ways to validate these structures through card sorting and tree testing.
Why use it?
It prevents websites, apps, and documentation from becoming confusing as they grow. It helps match the structure of a product to the way users look for information.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

information-architecture scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/scaffold-tests.sh, templates/test-template.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Information Architecture

Table of Contents

Overview

Information Architecture creates logical structures that help users find and understand information easily.

When to Use

  • Website or app redesign
  • Large information spaces (documentation, e-commerce)
  • Navigation structure planning
  • Taxonomy and categorization
  • Search functionality design
  • User journey mapping

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

IA Process:

1. Research & Discovery
  - Interview users about mental models
  - Card sorting sessions (open and closed)
  - Analyze current usage patterns
  - Competitive analysis

2. Structure Development
  - Create organization scheme (hierarchical, faceted, etc.)
  - Define categories and relationships
  - Build taxonomy
  - Plan navigation

3. Wireframing
  - Sitemap creation
  - Navigation structure
  - Page templates
  - User flows

4. Validation
  - User testing with prototypes
  - Tree testing (navigation only)
  - Iterate based on feedback

// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Start with user research
  • Conduct card sorting studies
  • Use user mental models
  • Keep hierarchy 3 levels deep max
  • Use clear, simple labels
  • Enable multiple ways to find content
  • Test navigation with users
  • Update based on usage data
  • Document taxonomy
  • Provide search functionality

❌ DON'T

  • Impose organizational structure without research
  • Use jargon or technical terms
  • Make hierarchy too deep
  • Bury important content
  • Rely only on navigation (provide search)
  • Change navigation frequently
  • Create ambiguous labels
  • Forget about edge cases
  • Ignore accessibility
  • Assume desktop-only navigation

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
