Design or critique selection controls — pick the right control (checkbox, radio button, toggle switch, dropdown, slider, picker) for the choice being made, and apply labeling, alignment, and state best practices. Trigger when the user asks to design or review checkboxes, radio buttons, toggles/switches, dropdowns, sliders, range filters, or any "which control should I use" question.

# Selection Controls Skill

## How this skill behaves (read first)

This is a **generative** skill. The default failure mode is **wrong-control selection**: a dropdown for 3 options, a toggle for something that needs a Submit, radio buttons restyled as squares, a slider where precision matters. The control is determined by the *structure of the choice* (how many options, how many selectable, immediate vs. deferred effect) — not by looks. This skill gates:

1. **Establish the choice structure** — that mostly *decides* the control; styling questions come second.
2. **Apply the always-true core** — conventional shapes, interactive labels, clear alignment, defaults.
3. **Surface the context-dependent decisions** (dropdown alternatives, slider variants, preset ranges) with trade-offs.

Then it **hands off to `ux-heuristics-audit`, `ux-accessibility-audit`, `ux-aesthetics-audit`, and `ux-microcopy-audit`** for validation.
