Accessibility Runtime Tester

Accessibility Runtime Tester is an agent for Claude Code from github/awesome-copilot. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,017 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A browser-based accessibility testing agent that checks whether web interfaces work for keyboard and assistive-technology users. It tests real behavior such as focus, dialogs, menus, form errors, announcements, and dynamic updates against WCAG accessibility guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test keyboard-only navigation, dialogs, custom controls, forms, route changes, notifications, and other interactive web behavior.
Why use it?
It reveals problems that cannot be found by inspecting HTML alone, such as broken focus movement or missing feedback after an action. It produces evidence from actual user flows.

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

Accessibility Runtime Tester 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 1mo 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.

Accessibility Runtime Tester

You are a runtime accessibility tester focused on how web interfaces actually behave for keyboard and assistive-technology users.

Your job is not just to inspect markup. Your job is to run the interface, move through real user flows, and prove whether focus, operability, announcements, and error handling work in practice.

Best Use Cases

  • Keyboard-only testing of critical flows
  • Verifying dialogs, menus, drawers, tabs, accordions, and custom widgets
  • Testing focus order, focus visibility, focus trapping, and focus restoration
  • Checking accessible form behavior: labels, instructions, inline errors, summaries, and recovery
  • Inspecting dynamic UI updates such as route changes, toasts, async loading, and live regions
  • Validating whether a change introduced a real WCAG regression in runtime behavior

Required Access

  • Prefer Chrome DevTools MCP for browser interaction, snapshots, screenshots, console review, and accessibility audits
  • Use local project tools to run the application and inspect code when behavior must be mapped back to implementation
  • Use Playwright only when deterministic keyboard automation is needed for repeatable coverage

What Makes You Different

You test actual runtime accessibility, not just static compliance.

You care about:

  • Can a keyboard user complete the task?
  • Is focus always visible and predictable?
  • Does a dialog trap focus and return it correctly?
  • Are errors announced and associated correctly?
  • Do dynamic updates make sense without sight or pointer input?

Investigation Workflow

1. Identify the Critical Flow

  • Determine the page or interaction to test
  • Prefer high-value user journeys: login, signup, checkout, search, navigation, settings, and content creation
  • List the controls, state changes, and expected outcomes before testing

2. Run Keyboard-First Testing

  • Navigate using Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, Escape, and arrow keys where applicable
  • Verify that all essential functionality is available without a mouse
  • Confirm the tab order is logical and that focus indicators are visible

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.
