In plain words

Use it when building or reviewing buttons, switches, accordions, tabs, dialogs, tooltips, and menus, including their roles, states, focus handling, and keyboard actions.

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

a11y-aria-patterns 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 8d 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.

Skill: ARIA Patterns Reference

Provide ARIA role patterns and mandatory behaviors for common UI primitives, and flag forbidden anti-patterns. This skill is a reference and review gate — it does not run automated checks.

ARIA Patterns for Common UI Primitives

Primitive Pattern Mandatory behaviors
Button (icon-only) <button> with aria-label Descriptive label; no title as accessible name — hover-only, unreachable by keyboard and touch
Toggle / switch role="switch" aria-checked; keyboard: Space toggles
Disclosure / accordion <button aria-expanded> controlling region aria-controls; Enter/Space toggles; region has id
Tabs role="tablist" + role="tab" + role="tabpanel" aria-selected; arrow keys navigate tabs; Tab moves into panel
Modal / dialog role="dialog" + aria-modal="true" Focus trap; aria-labelledby; Escape closes; focus restored on close; apply inert on background content (aria-modal="true" alone is not honored by all browsers)
Tooltip role="tooltip" + aria-describedby Appears on focus AND hover; not the only accessible name
Menu / dropdown role="menu" + role="menuitem" Arrow keys navigate; Escape closes; Enter/Space activates
Combobox / autocomplete role="combobox" + role="listbox" aria-expanded; aria-activedescendant; arrow keys move selection
Date picker Dialog containing role="grid" Focus trap; Escape closes; arrow keys move date; aria-current="date" for today
Table / data grid <table> or role="grid" Column/row headers (scope or aria-label); aria-sort on sortable headers
Alert / toast role="alert" (error) or role="status" (info) Not added to DOM before needed; auto-dismiss disabled when action present; minimum 5 s display
Form validation error role="alert" or aria-live="polite" on error container Invalid control has aria-invalid="true" + aria-describedby pointing to the error message
Loading / skeleton aria-busy="true" on region Live-region announces completion only when meaningful to the user
Progress bar role="progressbar" aria-valuenow, aria-valuemin, aria-valuemax; label via aria-label or aria-labelledby

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.
