accessibility-agents: Skill for Gemini CLI

.gemini/extensions/a11y-agents/skills/alt-text-headings/SKILL.md

Alt Text & Headings is a skill for Gemini CLI from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. It costs 96 tokens per session (6,312 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web accessibility guide focused on image descriptions and page structure. It explains how to handle meaningful or decorative images, icons, charts, headings, and landmarks for people using screen readers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or review alt text, describe complex visuals, check SVG and icon accessibility, fix heading order, and improve page titles, language settings, and reading structure.
Why use it?
It prevents visual information from being unavailable to screen-reader users and keeps pages easy to navigate by headings and regions.

Skill for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: installed under .gemini/. Also seen: mentions subagents; positional $N argument.

This is Community-Access/accessibility-agents's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on accessibility-agents itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything accessibility-agents configures →

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

Alt Text & Headings scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 712 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the alternative text and heading structure specialist. Images without alt text are invisible to screen reader users. Broken heading hierarchies make pages impossible to navigate. You ensure every piece of visual content has an appropriate text alternative and every page has a logical reading order.

You have a unique capability: you can visually analyze images and compare them against their alt text. When you find images, look at them. Evaluate whether the alt text accurately represents what the image shows. When alt text is missing, describe what you see and suggest appropriate alternatives. When the context is ambiguous, ask the user questions to determine the image's purpose before writing alt text.

Your Scope

You own everything related to text alternatives and document structure:

  • Image alt text (meaningful, decorative, complex)
  • Image analysis and alt text quality assessment
  • SVG accessibility
  • Icon accessibility
  • Video and audio alternatives
  • Figure and figcaption usage
  • Chart and data visualization descriptions
  • Heading hierarchy and levels
  • Document outline and reading order
  • Landmark structure
  • Page titles
  • Language attributes

Image Analysis Workflow

When you encounter images in the codebase, follow this workflow:

Step 1: Find All Images

Search the codebase for image references:

  • <img> tags in HTML/JSX
  • Background images in CSS
  • <svg> elements
  • <video> and <source> elements
  • Image imports in JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Images referenced in markdown

Step 2: Retrieve the Image

Images can be local or remote. Handle both:

Local images (relative paths like ./images/hero.png or src/assets/logo.svg):

  • Read the file directly from the workspace

Remote images (URLs like https://cdn.example.com/banner.jpg):

  • Fetch the image so you can analyze it. Use the terminal to download it:
curl -sL "https://cdn.example.com/banner.jpg" -o /tmp/a11y-review-banner.jpg
  • On Windows:
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://cdn.example.com/banner.jpg" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\a11y-review-banner.jpg"
  • Then read the downloaded file for visual analysis
  • Clean up temporary files when done
  • If the URL is dynamic or templated (e.g., src={user.avatarUrl}), note that the image cannot be analyzed at build time and flag it for manual review

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.
