Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills --skill information-architecture-and-navigation- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads information-architecture-and-navigation automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

What it does
A long IA reference built on Rosenfeld/Morville/Arango (the "polar bear book") four-systems model — organization, labeling, navigation, search — with exact-vs-ambiguous schemes, depth/breadth and faceted classification, per-device navigation patterns, wayfinding mechanics, URLs-as-IA, and the research methods (card sort, tree test, first-click) that prove findability. Much more extensive than the short information-architecture skill in the designer-skills package.
When NOT to use
- Visual nav-bar styling only → a component/design-system concern
- Search interaction details → pair with
search-ux
