Description

The first version of the Mobile accessibility checklist is now live in the repository and on the primer.style docs site (shipped via #41, closing #36).

In practice, the mobile checklist ended up about twice as long as the existing web checklists. That length makes it harder to scan and harder to hand to a single audience without a lot of "skip this section" caveats. This issue tracks the follow-up edits and improvements needed to bring it in line with the rest of the toolkit.

Requested change

  • Split by depth: Offer a full checklist (the comprehensive list we have now) and a high-impact short list that surfaces the most critical items for teams who can't run through the full thing on every project.
  • Rebuild the Figma component: Update the Checkpoints component in the Figma library so the new variants are selectable as properties, consistent with the existing web checklist component. This is a heavier lift than the markdown work since the current
