Build an Agent Skill
Create reusable guidance that helps AI tools produce accessible, inclusive content for people with visual impairment. No coding required.
- Time
- Around 2–3 hours, at your own pace
- You'll create
- A reusable SKILL.md guidance file
A worked example: accessible product announcements
Domain: communications. Task: draft a product announcement email that remains understandable with a screen reader.
Guidance: use meaningful headings and descriptive links; give informative images contextual alt text; never rely on colour, placement or emoji to carry meaning. Ask for missing product facts instead of inventing them.
Example request: “Announce three subscription tiers.” Expected result: clearly named tiers with their features in reading order, descriptive signup links and no “click the green button” instructions.
Check: read the output without images and inspect its headings and links. Record actual findings and limitations before submitting.
Your path through the studio
- What's a skill. Understand what a SKILL.md file is, where it is used and why it matters.
- Work area. Choose the area of work your skill is for.
- Task. Choose one task in that area where accessibility often goes wrong.
- Readers. Say who reads the content the AI will produce.
- Brief. Check your choices and the accessibility rules they bring.
- Get a draft. Copy the prompt into an AI assistant for a first SKILL.md, or write it yourself.
- Write. Paste the draft to fill the form, then make every line concrete and checkable.
- Improve it. Ask a fresh AI to review your skill against Anthropic's checklist, then keep what helps.
- Try it. Optional: try your skill on real requests and see what changes.
- Publish. See your skill as others will, then publish it to Vision Empower.
