accessibility

accessibility is a skill for Claude Code from addyosmani/web-quality-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (3,619 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for checking websites against WCAG 2.2, accessibility rules for making digital content usable by people with disabilities. It covers automated audits, accessibility-tree inspection, screen-reader-related structure, and keyboard use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit or improve keyboard navigation, screen-reader support, heading structure, landmarks, and other web accessibility problems.
Why use it?
It helps find barriers that automated scores alone can miss, such as missing names, roles, headings, or keyboard access. It also defines a repeatable check after fixes are made.

About the project

Web Quality Skills is a collection of agent skills for measuring and improving website performance, accessibility, search optimization, and browser usability. Developers use it with any web framework to run Lighthouse and Chrome DevTools checks, analyze Core Web Vitals and CrUX data, and apply WCAG and SEO guidance. The catalogue entries are the project's own skills, instructions, and plugin for agent-assisted web-quality work.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 465 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Accessibility (a11y)

Comprehensive accessibility guidelines based on WCAG 2.2 and Lighthouse accessibility audits. Goal: make content usable by everyone, including people with disabilities.

Evidence-led audit workflow

When a rendered page is available:

  1. Run a live Lighthouse Accessibility audit when that capability is available; with Chrome DevTools MCP, use lighthouse_audit. Use mobile navigation mode for a general public page or snapshot mode when reloading would lose authenticated or user-created state.
  2. Use failed audit nodes to localize the relevant component or template instead of searching the whole repository for generic patterns.
  3. Inspect a rendered accessibility-tree snapshot for names, roles, states, landmarks, and heading structure; with Chrome DevTools MCP, use take_snapshot. Exercise the affected flow with the keyboard.
  4. Fix the source, then re-run the same audit and manual interaction.

If the live tools are unavailable, use Lighthouse CLI or axe for automated coverage and complete the same manual checks. Automated tools detect only a subset of accessibility barriers: a score of 100 is not WCAG conformance, and a low score does not replace issue-level evidence.

WCAG Principles: POUR

Principle Description
Perceivable Content can be perceived through different senses
Operable Interface can be operated by all users
Understandable Content and interface are understandable
Robust Content works with assistive technologies

Conformance levels

Level Requirement Target
A Minimum accessibility Must pass
AA Standard compliance Should pass (legal requirement in many jurisdictions)
AAA Enhanced accessibility Nice to have

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.
