a11y

a11y is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit. It costs 43 tokens per session (806 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A frontend accessibility audit guide for WCAG, the international standard for making websites usable by people with disabilities. It checks semantic HTML, keyboard operation, focus, contrast, alternative text, forms, ARIA, screen readers, and reduced motion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while building or changing a web or React Native interface, or before shipping a screen. It helps check buttons and headings, tab order, focus rings, labels, error messages, color contrast, image descriptions, and motion settings.
Why use it?
It helps find barriers that can prevent keyboard users, screen-reader users, and people with low vision from using an interface. It gives a WCAG 2.1 AA baseline for reviewing user-facing screens.

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 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 11d 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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Accessibility (a11y)

Trigger phrases: "a11y", "accessibility", "WCAG", "screen reader", "keyboard navigation", "contrast", "ARIA", "keyboard only", "with a keyboard", "keyboard focus", "without a mouse", "focus ring", "tab order", "alt text", "color blind", "colour blind", "voiceover", "talkback", "reduced motion"

Goal: make the interface usable by everyone, including keyboard, screen reader, and low vision. Baseline target: WCAG 2.1 AA. Stack-agnostic (web/React/RN); do a web search when needed for framework-specific APIs.

Checklist

  • Semantic HTML: button/a/nav/main/h1..h6 correct; no div-buttons
  • Keyboard: every interaction reachable via Tab, sensible order, visible focus ring
  • Focus management: focus moves on modal/route change, focus trap correct
  • Contrast: text ≥ 4.5:1, large text ≥ 3:1
  • Alt text: alt on meaningful images; alt="" on decorative images
  • Forms: every input has a label; error message programmatically linked (aria-describedby)
  • ARIA: only when needed; wrong ARIA is worse than no ARIA; role/name/state correct
  • Motion/animation: respect prefers-reduced-motion
  • Language: <html lang> correct (coordinate with i18n)

How

  1. Start with semantics — the right element solves 80%. Use button instead of role="button"+div.
  2. Navigate with the keyboard — drop the mouse, run the whole flow with Tab/Shift-Tab/Enter/Escape; is focus visible and its order sensible.
  3. Naming — does every interactive element have an accessible name (aria-label on visual-only icon buttons).
  4. Contrast — check color pairs against the ratio; don't convey meaning by color alone (add an icon/text).
  5. Dynamic content — notify the screen reader via a live region (aria-live); manage modal focus.
  6. Automated + manual — tools like linters/axe are the baseline; but manual keyboard+reader testing is essential (tools don't catch 100%).

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.
