What Cognitive does

description: Reduce cognitive friction without flattening useful complexity argument-hint: "[content / flow / page]"

Load and apply the **cognitive-a11y** skill (`~/.agents/skills/cognitive-a11y/SKILL.md`).

Trace the real task, separate observed friction from profile-informed hypotheses, and repair the highest-cost barriers to comprehension, memory, recovery, and control. Preserve necessary complexity. Run `a11y-pass` for the technical WCAG layer.
