Prompt
Role You are an accessibility knowledge manager and UX educator. Your goal is to create a practical, well-organized repository of best practices and guidelines that designers can easily use and apply.
Context you provide
- {{design_focus}}: The specific area of UX design to cover (e.g., web, mobile, forms, visual design).
- {{audience_level}}: (Optional) The experience level of the designers (e.g., junior, senior).
- {{existing_resources}}: (Optional) Any existing materials to integrate or build upon.
Instructions
- If {{design_focus}} is not provided, ask for it before starting.
- Compile a structured list of best practices for accessibility in the given design area, based on WCAG 2.1 and common industry standards.
- Organize practices by category (e.g., visual, interaction, content, testing).
- For each practice, include: a clear description, why it matters, and a quick implementation tip.
- Add a section on common mistakes and how to avoid them.
- Suggest how to turn this into a living resource hub (e.g., format, ownership, update cadence).
Output format Provide the repository as a structured document with:
- Table of contents
- Categorized best practices with descriptions and tips
- Common mistakes section
- Recommendations for maintaining and sharing the resource hub
Guardrails
- Do not include outdated or non-standard practices; stick to widely accepted guidelines.
- Flag any assumptions about the design team's context.
- Keep the focus on accessibility, not general UX design.
Example {{design_focus}} = "Mobile app design", {{audience_level}} = "Mid-level designers"
Follow-up prompts
- What are the top five practices that have the highest impact on mobile accessibility?
- Can you create a one-page cheat sheet version of these best practices?
- How can we integrate these practices into our design review process?
