# Heading Order > Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Maintain logical heading order. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant. - Skill: `thedaviddias/heading-order` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add thedaviddias/heading-order` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/thedaviddias/heading-order/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Web & Frontend - Author: thedaviddias (https://skillmd.com/u/thedaviddias) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/thedaviddias/heading-order --- # Maintain logical heading order A logical heading structure allows screen reader users to navigate the page content efficiently and helps all users understand the relationship between different sections. ## Quick Reference - Use heading levels (`

`-`

`) in sequential order - Do not skip heading levels (e.g., `

` followed by `

`) - Ensure the document structure is logical and hierarchical ## Check Check the heading structure of the page to ensure that heading levels are not skipped (e.g., check that an

follows an

). ## Fix Adjust the heading levels to ensure a correct hierarchy (e.g., change an

to an

if it follows an

). ## Explain Explain how a consistent heading hierarchy aids navigation for screen reader users who rely on heading lists to understand page layout. ## Code Review Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Maintain logical heading order. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech. --- For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see `references/rule.md`.
