accessibility-review

An accessibility audit tool that checks a design or page against WCAG 2.1 AA, a widely used set of guidelines for making websites usable by people with disabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review designs or pages for keyboard navigation, screen-reader support, contrast, touch targets, focus order, labels, and other accessibility requirements.
Why use it?
It helps identify barriers such as poor color contrast, missing form labels or image descriptions, keyboard problems, small touch targets, and unusable focus behavior.

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-review 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.

WCAG 2.1 AA Quick Reference

Perceivable

  • 1.1.1 Non-text content has alt text
  • 1.3.1 Info and structure conveyed semantically
  • 1.4.3 Contrast ratio >= 4.5:1 (normal text), >= 3:1 (large text)
  • 1.4.11 Non-text contrast >= 3:1 (UI components, graphics)

Operable

  • 2.1.1 All functionality available via keyboard
  • 2.4.3 Logical focus order
  • 2.4.7 Visible focus indicator
  • 2.5.5 Touch target >= 44x44 CSS pixels

Understandable

  • 3.2.1 Predictable on focus (no unexpected changes)
  • 3.3.1 Error identification (describe the error)
  • 3.3.2 Labels or instructions for inputs

Robust

  • 4.1.2 Name, role, value for all UI components

Common Issues

  1. Insufficient color contrast
  2. Missing form labels
  3. No keyboard access to interactive elements
  4. Missing alt text on meaningful images
  5. Focus traps in modals
  6. Missing ARIA landmarks
  7. Auto-playing media without controls
  8. Time limits without extension options

Testing Approach

  1. Automated scan (catches ~30% of issues)
  2. Keyboard-only navigation
  3. Screen reader testing (VoiceOver, NVDA)
  4. Color contrast verification
  5. Zoom to 200% — does layout break?

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.
