a11y-checklist

a11y-checklist is a skill for Claude Code from atuljha23/holocron. It costs 38 tokens per session (915 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quick reference for checking whether user interfaces follow WCAG 2.2 AA, a widely used accessibility standard. It covers structure, keyboard use, labels, states, contrast, motion, and errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while building or reviewing interface components to check semantic HTML, focus behaviour, accessible names, image text, form errors, and related requirements.
Why use it?
It provides a practical checklist for finding barriers that can prevent people using keyboards or assistive technology from using a page or component.

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-checklist 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 10d 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.

Accessibility checklist (WCAG 2.2 AA)

Use this as a walk-through, top to bottom. If you can't answer "yes" or "N/A" for a line, fix it.

Semantics

  • The element matches the intent. <button> for actions. <a> for navigation. Lists use <ul>/<ol>. Landmarks use <main>/<nav>/<header>/<footer>/<aside>.
  • Headings form a valid outline — one <h1>, no skipped levels.
  • Forms have <label>s (or aria-labelledby). Placeholder is not a label.

Keyboard

  • Every interactive element is reachable by Tab.
  • Focus order matches visual order.
  • No focus traps. Modals trap focus only while open and restore on close.
  • Focus is visible (outline, ring, or theme equivalent). Don't remove :focus-visible without replacement.
  • Keyboard shortcuts don't collide with screen-reader virtual cursor.

Names & descriptions

  • Every interactive control has an accessible name. Icon-only buttons: aria-label.
  • Images: meaningful alt; decorative alt="".
  • Form errors are programmatically associated via aria-describedby.

States

  • aria-expanded, aria-selected, aria-pressed, aria-checked, aria-invalid reflect the current state and update as it changes.
  • Loading states have aria-busy or a live region announcement.
  • Async status changes are announced in a role="status" or role="alert" live region (use alert sparingly — it's interruptive).

Contrast

  • Normal text ≥ 4.5:1 vs background.
  • Large text (≥ 18pt or 14pt bold) ≥ 3:1.
  • UI components (form borders, focus rings, icon glyphs) ≥ 3:1.
  • Don't rely on color alone to convey meaning — error state must have an icon or text too.

Motion

  • Respect prefers-reduced-motion. No auto-animating carousels, parallax, or transitions without the opt-out.
  • Videos under 5s ok; longer needs pause/stop controls.
  • No flashing over 3 times per second in any region larger than ~25% of the viewport.

Structure & navigation

  • Page has a <main> landmark and a sensible lang on <html>.
  • Skip-to-content link at the top (or equivalent landmark structure).
  • Page title is descriptive and unique per route.

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.
