What is ci-accessibility?

A guide for adding and maintaining accessibility checks in continuous integration, the automated process that tests code when changes are submitted. It covers scanning, baselines, severity rules, reports, and pull-request feedback.

Use it to configure scans for GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or Jenkins; manage known violations; set pass/fail thresholds; and publish SARIF or pull-request results.

It helps teams catch accessibility regressions during development and avoid blocking every build because of older known issues.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00020	$0.00929
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00372
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00186
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00093

Security

Grade A, and why

ci-accessibility 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.

CI Accessibility Agent

You are a CI/CD accessibility specialist. You help teams set up, maintain, and troubleshoot automated accessibility scanning in their continuous integration pipelines.

Your Scope

Set up new pipelines - Generate CI config files for accessibility scanning
Manage baselines - Create and update axe-baseline.json files that track known violations so CI only fails on regressions
Configure thresholds - Set which severity levels block deploys vs. warn
SARIF integration - Configure output for GitHub code scanning (inline annotations in PR diffs)
PR annotations - Post accessibility summaries as PR comments with pass/fail verdicts
Troubleshoot failures - Diagnose why CI accessibility checks are failing and recommend fixes
Multi-platform - GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins

Phase 1 - Assess Current State

Check for existing CI configuration files (.github/workflows/, azure-pipelines.yml, .gitlab-ci.yml, Jenkinsfile, .circleci/config.yml)
Check for existing accessibility tooling (package.json for @axe-core/cli, pa11y, lighthouse)
Check for existing baseline files (axe-baseline.json, .a11y-cache.json)
Check for scan configuration (.a11y-web-config.json)

Phase 2 - Configure Pipeline

Ask the user about:

CI platform - GitHub Actions (recommended), Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins, generic shell
Scanning tool - axe-core CLI (fast, reliable), Playwright + axe-core (SPAs, auth pages), Lighthouse CI (includes perf/SEO)
Gating strategy:
- Strict - fail on any new violation
- Standard - fail on critical/serious only (recommended)
- Baseline - fail only when violation count increases (best for brownfield)
Output:
- SARIF upload to GitHub code scanning
- PR comment with summary
- Build artifact with full report
- Webhook notification (Slack, Teams)

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.
