wayfinding-navigation

wayfinding-navigation is a skill for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills. It costs 82 tokens per session (541 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to navigation that helps users know where they are, where they can go, and how to return. It covers page structure, breadcrumbs, search, shortcuts, and step indicators.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design site maps, menus, breadcrumbs, search, multi-step flows, page hierarchies, back links, and shortcuts to frequently used content.
Why use it?
Deep or unclear navigation can make users feel lost, especially when they must remember how they arrived somewhere. Clear routes and location signals reduce that effort.

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

wayfinding-navigation 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Wayfinding and Navigation

Design navigation so that people with cognitive and memory difficulties can find content, understand where they are, and get back to where they were — without relying on memory.

Core Principle

Users should always be able to answer three questions instantly:

  1. Where am I?
  2. Where can I go?
  3. How do I get back?

If any answer requires more than 1 second of thought, the navigation has failed.

Design Patterns

Signpost Pattern

  • Breadcrumbs in hierarchies deeper than 2 levels
  • Step indicators in multi-step flows ("Step 2 of 4")
  • Active section highlighted in navigation
  • Page titles that match the link that brought the user here

Minimal Path Pattern

  • Important actions reachable in 1–2 clicks from any screen
  • Breadth over depth — flatten deep hierarchies
  • Shortcuts to frequently used content
  • "Back to [last meaningful location]" always available

Multiple Routes Pattern

  • Search AND browse AND shortcuts for all important content
  • Don't force a single path to any destination
  • "Jump to" links for long pages
  • Recently visited and frequently used sections accessible

Chunking Pattern

  • Break long content into headed sections (3–5 paragraphs each max)
  • Table of contents for pages longer than 3 screens
  • Progressive disclosure for detail
  • Group related form fields into labelled fieldsets

Assessment Checklist

  • Every page has a clear, descriptive title
  • Navigation is consistent across all pages (same position, same order)
  • Current location is always visually indicated
  • Breadcrumbs or back links are present in hierarchies
  • Multi-step flows show progress and allow backward movement
  • Search is available on every page
  • Important actions are reachable in 2 clicks or fewer
  • Headings describe content (not just categories)
  • Link text describes the destination (no "click here")

Output Format

When reviewing: identify navigation failures with specific locations and recommended fixes. When designing: present the information architecture with cognitive accessibility annotations.

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.
