kb-cognitive-accessibility

kb-cognitive-accessibility is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. It costs 68 tokens per session (3,239 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for cognitive accessibility, meaning design that is easier to understand and use for people with cognitive, learning, or neurological differences. It covers plain language, reading difficulty, authentication, repeated data entry, and time limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review forms and interfaces against relevant WCAG 2.2 guidance and cognitive accessibility recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps find confusing wording, demanding interaction patterns, and avoidable memory or timing burdens in an interface.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00068 $0.03239
Opus 5.5 $0.00027 $0.01296

Security

Grade A, and why

kb-cognitive-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 1mo 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.

Skill: Cognitive Accessibility

Domain: Cognitive, learning, and neurological accessibility
WCAG scope: WCAG 2.2 AA + key AAA, COGA W3C guidance
Agents that use this skill: cognitive-accessibility, web-accessibility-wizard, accessibility-lead, forms-specialist


Purpose

This skill provides reference tables, scoring formulas, and evaluation patterns for cognitive accessibility review. It covers:

  • WCAG 2.2 success criteria with cognitive accessibility relevance
  • COGA (Cognitive Accessibility) W3C guidance mapping
  • Plain language analysis techniques
  • Reading level computation
  • Authentication pattern analysis (3.3.8 / 3.3.9)
  • Redundant entry detection (3.3.7)
  • Timeout and session management analysis

WCAG 2.2 Cognitive Accessibility Criteria Reference

Level A

Each SC, with name, what to check and common failures.

SC Name What to Check Common Failures
2.2.1 Timing Adjustable Session timeouts warn >=20s before expiry; user can extend >=10x or disable Redirect without warning; extension UI exists but does nothing
2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide Auto-moving/blinking content >5s has pause/stop control Blinking backgrounds, marquee text, auto-scrolling feeds
2.3.1 Three Flashes No content flashes >3 Hz (absolute) Transition animations that strobe
3.3.1 Error Identification Error identified in text, not just color Red border with no error message
3.3.2 Labels or Instructions Format requirements shown before error, required fields identified upfront Format hint only in error state; asterisks with no legend
3.3.7 Redundant Entry (2.2 new) Previously-entered info not re-requested in same session unless security-essential or stale Email re-entered on step 3; billing address not pre-filled from shipping

Level AA

Each SC, with name, what to check and common failures.

SC Name What to Check Common Failures
2.4.6 Headings and Labels Headings describe content; labels describe input purpose "Section 1", "Info", "Details" as heading text
3.2.3 Consistent Navigation Nav appears in same relative order across pages Footer nav changes order on mobile vs desktop
3.2.4 Consistent Identification Same-function components have same accessible name across pages "Search" button on one page, "Find" on another
3.3.3 Error Suggestion For detected errors, suggest correction when possible/safe "Invalid email" with no example or format hint
3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial) Review step before irreversible submission; allow reversal or confirmation One-click purchase with no review screen; no undo for account deletion
3.3.8 Accessible Authentication Min. (2.2 new) Authentication must not require cognitive function test unless an alternative exists autocomplete="off" on login forms; paste disabled in password fields; transcription-only CAPTCHA

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.
