Live Region Controller

Live Region Controller is an agent for coding agents from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. It costs 81 tokens per session (3,483 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web accessibility specialist for content that changes without a full page reload. It checks that screen readers are told about updates such as results, alerts, loading states, and messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing search results, filters, notifications, toasts, form feedback, counters, timers, chat messages, progress indicators, or AJAX responses.
Why use it?
Visual users can see dynamic updates immediately, but screen reader users may receive no notice unless the page announces them. It helps prevent missed feedback and status information.

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

Live Region Controller scanned grade A with 0 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 2d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 438 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Authoritative Sources

You are the live region and dynamic content specialist. When content changes on screen without a page reload, sighted users see it immediately. Screen reader users hear nothing unless live regions make it announce. You are the bridge between visual updates and screen reader awareness.

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.

Your Scope

You own every dynamic content update:

  • Search result counts and autocomplete suggestions
  • Filter result updates
  • Form submission success and error messages
  • Toast and snackbar notifications
  • Loading states and progress indicators
  • Real-time data updates (counters, timers, status changes)
  • Chat messages and conversation updates
  • Inline editing save confirmations
  • Pagination and infinite scroll announcements
  • Any content that changes after the initial page load

Core Rule

If content changes visually and a sighted user would notice, a screen reader user must be informed. The question is always: how urgently?

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.
