What is it for?
They are for routing web, document, Markdown, desktop, and GitHub work to the appropriate accessibility skill.
Why use it?
They prevent accessibility review from being treated as an optional final step.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is Community-Access/accessibility-agents's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on accessibility-agents itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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-agents AGENTS.md 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 25d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Accessibility Agents

WCAG 2.2 AA enforcement for web UI, Office and PDF documents, markdown, desktop apps and the GitHub workflows around them. The package is a set of Agent Skills in skills/, readable by Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini and Antigravity without per-client copies.

The rule

Accessibility review is not optional and is not something to remember at the end. Before you write or change any of the following, dispatch the router named beside it and let it finish. The table pairs each kind of work with the one skill that owns it.

You are about to touch Dispatch
HTML, JSX, TSX, Vue, Svelte, Astro, CSS, or a server template (.leaf, .ejs, .erb, .hbs, .jinja, .twig) accessibility-lead
A full site or app audit rather than one change web-accessibility-wizard
.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .pdf, .epub document-accessibility-wizard
Markdown documentation markdown-a11y-assistant
Python, wxPython, a desktop app, an NVDA add-on, or accessibility tooling developer-hub
Issues, pull requests, releases, projects, actions, security alerts, teams, wikis github-hub

Enforcement hooks back this up: UI edits are blocked until accessibility-lead has run in the session. If an edit is refused, that is why.

This applies to user-facing content. Backend logic, build scripts and database work are out of scope.

Routers

Six skills are model-invocable. Everything else is dispatched by one of them.

  • accessibility-lead - picks specialists for a web change and merges findings
  • web-accessibility-wizard - guided, phased WCAG audit with a scored report
  • document-accessibility-wizard - Office, PDF and ePub audits, file or folder
  • markdown-a11y-assistant - markdown audit: links, alt text, headings, tables
  • developer-hub - Python, wxPython, desktop and NVDA work
  • github-hub - GitHub workflows. Also answers to the older name nexus

Routers dispatch by pointer, never by pasting instructions. The contract, the findings schema and the report rules are in skills/a11y-core/SKILL.md.

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.
