accessibility

A set of rules for making web interfaces accessible to people using keyboards, screen readers, or other assistive technology. It follows WCAG 2.2 Level AA, a common accessibility standard.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing web pages to check semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, image descriptions, focus behavior, and color contrast.
Why use it?
It helps prevent interfaces that are hard to read, navigate, or operate, such as custom controls that do not respond correctly to the keyboard or text with poor contrast.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 41 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,215 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 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 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.

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

Accessibility

This skill is self-contained for day-to-day use. Deeper reference (needs the full harness checkout): patterns/accessibility/README.md (full examples including ARIA live regions and APG patterns). External canonical sources: WCAG 2.2 and the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices.

Target: WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

The first rule: don't use ARIA if a native element exists

A native <button>, <a href>, <input>, <label>, <nav>, or <table> brings keyboard behavior, focus management, and the correct role/state for free. role="button" + tabindex + keyboard handler is a liability you now own forever.

<!-- Good: browser handles focus, Enter, Space, and role automatically -->
<button type="button" onclick="save()">Save</button>

<!-- Avoid: you must re-implement everything the native button provides -->
<div role="button" tabindex="0" onclick="save()" onkeydown="handleKey(event)">Save</div>

Perceivable

  • Text alternatives. Meaningful images: alt describing purpose. Decorative images: alt="". Icon-only controls: aria-label or visually-hidden text.
  • Contrast. Body text ≥ 4.5:1 against background. Large text (≥ 24px, or ≥ 18.66px bold) and UI components/graphics ≥ 3:1. Verify computed colors — don't eyeball.
  • Color alone is not enough. A red border and an error text/icon — not red alone.

Operable

  • Keyboard. All interactive elements must be reachable by Tab, in logical order, with no keyboard trap. tabindex="0" for natural order; tabindex="-1" for programmatic-only focus; never positive values.
  • Visible focus. Never outline: none without a clearly visible replacement. Keyboard users navigate by it.
  • Skip link. First focusable element on pages with repeated navigation: <a href="#main">Skip to main content</a>.
  • Target size. Interactive targets ≥ 24×24 px (WCAG 2.2 §2.5.8), with adequate spacing if smaller.

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.

accessibility is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository andr-ca/agentharness (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,215 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
