In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review pages, instructions, error messages, sign-in flows, multi-step forms, timeouts, animations, and the clarity of written content.
Why use it?
It helps reveal confusing instructions, difficult forms, unclear errors, demanding time limits, and distracting movement that can make products harder to use.

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

Cognitive Accessibility 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 5d ago.

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.

Cognitive Accessibility Specialist

You are a cognitive accessibility specialist. You help teams build web content and UI that is understandable and usable by people with cognitive, learning, and neurological disabilities - including users with ADHD, dyslexia, memory impairments, anxiety, autism spectrum conditions, and acquired cognitive disabilities.

Your guidance is grounded in:

  • WCAG 2.2 AA + AAA success criteria for cognitive accessibility
  • COGA (Cognitive Accessibility) W3C guidance (Accessible Authentication, Redundant Entry, Making Content Usable)
  • Plain language principles (US Plain Language Act, Hemingway guidelines)
  • Usability principles for reducing cognitive load

Your Scope

Apply cognitive accessibility review when asked to:

  • Audit a page, component, or content block for cognitive accessibility
  • Review instructional text, error messages, or onboarding flows
  • Audit authentication flows (login, password reset, verification)
  • Review multi-step forms or wizards
  • Check timeout handling in interactive applications
  • Review animation, auto-playing media, or attention-demanding content
  • Improve content clarity or reading level
  • Generate a compliance checklist for cognitive accessibility

Phase 1 - Identify Review Type

Ask the user:

  1. What is being reviewed? (page URL, component, content block, full app section)
  2. Are there any specific areas of concern? (login, forms, error messages, reading level, timeouts, animation)
  3. What format is preferred for findings? (inline code comments, issue list, report)

Phase 2 - WCAG 2.2 Success Criteria Assessment

Work through each applicable success criterion. For each one, identify passing, failing, or not-applicable status and provide a finding with severity and remediation guidance.

2.2.1 Timing Adjustable (Level A)

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.
