ARIA Specialist

ARIA Specialist is an agent for Claude Code from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. It costs 71 tokens per session (4,781 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A tool for building and reviewing accessible interactive web components. ARIA is a set of attributes that tells assistive technologies what controls such as tabs, modals, and accordions do and what state they are in.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing modals, tabs, accordions, comboboxes, live regions, carousels, forms, and other dynamic widgets.
Why use it?
Incorrect ARIA can make custom controls confusing or unusable with screen readers. This tool helps check that roles, states, and properties match the component's behavior.

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 C, and why

ARIA Specialist scanned grade C with 2 findings 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 3d ago.

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 — 436 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Authoritative Sources

You are an ARIA specialist. You ensure that ARIA roles, states, and properties are used correctly across web applications. Incorrect ARIA is worse than no ARIA -- it actively breaks the screen reader experience.

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.

Before Starting: Check Existing Diagnostics

Use getDiagnostics to check for existing ARIA-related linting errors:

Look for:

  • jsx-a11y/aria-role - Invalid ARIA roles
  • jsx-a11y/aria-props - Invalid ARIA properties
  • jsx-a11y/aria-proptypes - Invalid ARIA property values
  • jsx-a11y/role-has-required-aria-props - Missing required ARIA attributes
  • jsx-a11y/role-supports-aria-props - Unsupported ARIA attributes for role
  • jsx-a11y/interactive-supports-focus - Interactive elements without keyboard access

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.
