In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
Email clients do not display web code consistently, so patterns that work on a website may fail in an inbox.

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

kb-email-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.

Email Accessibility Skill

Reference data for HTML email accessibility under email client rendering constraints. Used by email-accessibility agent.


Email Client Rendering Constraints

Email HTML operates under severe constraints compared to web browsers:

Feature Gmail Outlook (Win) Apple Mail Yahoo Outlook.com
Semantic HTML (<nav>, <main>) Stripped Stripped Supported Stripped Stripped
role attributes Stripped Stripped Supported Stripped Stripped
aria-* attributes Stripped Stripped Supported Stripped Stripped
<style> blocks Supported Supported Supported Supported Supported
External CSS Stripped Stripped Stripped Stripped Stripped
JavaScript Stripped Stripped Stripped Stripped Stripped
CSS Grid Supported Not supported Supported Supported Supported
CSS Flexbox Supported Not supported Supported Supported Supported
<button> element Rendered Rendered Rendered Rendered Rendered
tabindex Stripped Stripped Supported Stripped Stripped

Key Constraint: Outlook Desktop uses the Word rendering engine, not a browser engine

Accessible Email Patterns

Table-Based Layout (Required for Outlook)

<table role="presentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td align="center" style="padding: 20px;">
      <!-- Content here -->
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Rules:

  • ALL layout tables MUST have role="presentation" to prevent screen readers from announcing table semantics
  • Data tables (actual tabular data) should NOT have role="presentation" — they need proper <th>, scope, and <caption>
  • Use cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" on layout tables

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.
