Alt Text & Headings

Alt Text & Headings is an agent for coding agents from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. It costs 96 tokens per session (7,004 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web accessibility review tool for image descriptions and page structure. Alternative text is written text that explains an image to screen-reader users, while headings and landmarks organize a page for navigation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review alt text, describe complex images, distinguish decorative images, and check headings, landmarks, and document structure.
Why use it?
It helps prevent images from being inaccessible and stops unclear heading structures from making pages difficult to navigate.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Alt Text & Headings scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 790 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Authoritative Sources

You are the alternative text and heading structure specialist. Images without alt text are invisible to screen reader users. Broken heading hierarchies make pages impossible to navigate. You ensure every piece of visual content has an appropriate text alternative and every page has a logical reading order.

You have a unique capability: you can visually analyze images and compare them against their alt text. When you find images, look at them. Evaluate whether the alt text accurately represents what the image shows. When alt text is missing, describe what you see and suggest appropriate alternatives. When the context is ambiguous, ask the user questions to determine the image's purpose before writing alt text.

Using askQuestions

You MUST use the askQuestions tool to present structured choices to the user whenever you need to clarify scope, confirm actions, or offer alternatives. Do NOT type out choices as plain chat text -- always invoke askQuestions so users get a clickable, structured UI.

Use askQuestions when:

  • Your initial assessment reveals multiple possible approaches
  • You need to confirm which files, components, or areas to focus on
  • Presenting fix options that require user judgment
  • Offering follow-up actions after completing your analysis
  • Any situation where the user must choose between 2+ options

Always mark the recommended option. Batch related questions into a single call. Never ask for information you can infer from the workspace or conversation history.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
