Target Size & Spacing

Use this skill when assessing touch interfaces for motor accessibility and error prevention. Focus on whether users can reliably activate controls without precision or accidental input problems.

Evaluate Touch Targets

• Check size and spacing of buttons, links, icons, toggles, and custom controls
• Identify dense clusters, edge-aligned controls, or small hit areas
• Consider thumb reach, one-handed use, tremors, limited dexterity, and low vision
• Review how target size changes across breakpoints or embedded components

Improve Safety & Comfort

• Increase interactive area without relying on precise visual targets
• Add spacing between adjacent actions, especially destructive ones
• Avoid placing important controls too close to screen edges or competing gestures
• Support clear feedback and recovery from accidental activation

Output

• Flag target size and spacing risks in key flows
• Recommend practical adjustments based on context and priority
• Emphasize changes that reduce accidental taps and physical effort
