reexamine_a11y

A checklist for reviewing web accessibility, including keyboard use, screen readers, ARIA labels, reduced motion, and color-blind safety.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing or testing an interface for accessible controls, focus behavior, motion, labels, and status indicators.
Why use it?
It helps find interface barriers that can prevent people with disabilities from using a website.

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 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 452 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

reexamine_a11y 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Re-examine: Accessibility

ARIA & Semantics

  • Every interactive element has role or is a native interactive element (<button>, <a>, <input>)
  • aria-label on icon-only buttons (no visible text = must have aria-label)
  • aria-pressed on toggles, aria-selected on tabs, aria-expanded on collapsibles
  • role="region" with aria-label on landmark sections
  • No <div onclick> — use <button> or <a> with proper keyboard handling

Reduced motion

  • @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) disables: transitions, animations, auto-scroll, carousel auto-play
  • Skeleton shimmer → static placeholder under reduced-motion
  • Staggered fade-ins → instant appearance

Color-blind safety

  • Never rely on color alone — pair with icons, patterns, or text labels
  • Severity badges: use border + text, not just background color
  • Test with simulated protanopia/deuteranopia if possible

Screen readers

  • <label> elements for every <input>, <select>, <textarea> (visible or .sr-only)
  • .sr-only class: position:absolute; width:1px; height:1px; overflow:hidden; clip:rect(0,0,0,0)
  • Skip links at page top: <a href="#main-content" class="sr-only focus:not-sr-only">
  • Meaningful alt text on images; decorative images get alt=""

Focus management

  • :focus-visible outlines on all interactive elements (not :focus — avoids mouse-click outlines)
  • Focus trap in modals/dialogs: Tab cycles within, Escape closes
  • After dynamic content load, move focus to the new content or announce via aria-live

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.

reexamine_a11y is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository HomenShum/NodeBenchAI (14 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 452 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
