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
- Choose your domain. Choose a professional domain and one concrete task. You will create reusable instructions that help an AI tool make accessible output for that task.
- Explore skill ideas. Write your own approach or use the complete prompt to compare three candidate skills. Choose one before drafting your submission.
- Build the guidance. Write substantive guidance for each section. Aim for concrete, testable instructions rather than general encouragement.
- Add examples. Show the skill working with at least one before/after comparison.
- Check and refine. Review against non-visual alternatives, reading order, accessible formatting and assumptions about vision. Test manually or in an AI tool of your choice and record what you saw.
- Check and submit. Read the preview, confirm the details that go into the SKILL.md front matter, tick each check, then submit for Vision Empower review.
