Guides navigation menu design for SEO, UX, and accessibility. Navigation helps users find content and signals site structure to search engines.
Components: Navigation Menu
Guides navigation menu design for SEO, UX, and accessibility. Navigation helps users find content and signals site structure to search engines.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Initial Assessment
Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for key pages and audience.
Identify:
- Site structure: Main sections, hierarchy
- Primary goals: Conversion paths, key pages
- Platform: Web, mobile, both
Structure & Organization
Menu Size
- Primary nav: 7-9 items; avoid overwhelming users
- Sub-navigation: Up to 2 levels; deeper topics in sub-menus
- Pattern: Horizontal top nav or vertical side nav; avoid novel patterns
Hierarchy
- Reflect sitemap structure; need not match exactly
- Prioritize what visitors need most
- Logical grouping by topic or task
SEO Best Practices
| Practice | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Semantic HTML | <nav>, <ul>, <li>; proper landmark roles |
| Descriptive anchor text | Target keywords; avoid "Click here" |
| Text links | Prefer text over images; crawlers need readable links |
| Initial render | All nav HTML in first paint; no JS-only menus for critical links. See rendering-strategies |
| Visible links | Prefer visible over hidden; helps crawlers understand structure |
Crawlability
- Sub-menus: Ensure HTML is in DOM (e.g., CSS-hidden, not JS-injected)
- Footer nav: Include secondary links
- Breadcrumbs: See breadcrumb-generator for implementation
UX Guidelines
Visibility & Location
- Desktop: Visible nav; avoid hiding behind hamburger when space allows
- Expected placement: Primary nav in header; footer nav at bottom
- Current location: Indicate active page/section in menu
Accessibility
| Requirement | Practice |
|---|---|
| Labels | Clear, intuitive wording |
| Contrast | 4.5:1 for link text |
| Touch targets | >=44x44px; adequate spacing |
| Keyboard | Full keyboard navigation; focus visible |
| Screen readers | Proper ARIA; skip links for long menus |
Design
- Simple, clear; avoid covering entire screen with open menus on desktop
- Consistent across pages
- Mobile: Hamburger acceptable; ensure menu is usable when open
Output Format
- Structure (primary items, sub-items)
- Anchor text suggestions
- HTML/ARIA notes
- SEO checklist
- Accessibility checklist

- ⚠Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
- ⚠Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
- ⚠Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
- ⚠Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements
Best Practices▌

- +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
- +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
- +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
- +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
