kb-severity-mapping

kb-severity-mapping is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. It costs 46 tokens per session (840 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide that defines accessibility severity levels and maps them across websites, documents, and Markdown. Markdown is plain text with simple formatting used for project documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps classify accessibility issues as critical, serious, moderate, or minor, relate them to WCAG requirements, and normalise findings across audit tools and file types.
Why use it?
It gives different audit types a shared vocabulary for describing impact and compliance. That makes findings easier to compare and prioritise across formats.

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-severity-mapping 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Severity Mapping

Canonical severity definitions shared across web, document, and markdown audit domains.

Canonical Severity Levels

Each level, with its definition, WCAG conformance and score impact.

Level Definition WCAG Conformance Score Impact
Critical Blocks access entirely for one or more user groups. No workaround exists. Fails Level A -15 to -22 points
Serious Severely impairs access; a workaround may exist but is unreasonable. Fails Level A or AA -5 to -10 points
Moderate Causes friction or confusion; most users can still complete the task. Fails Level AA (advisory) -2 to -4 points
Minor Polish issue; no meaningful barrier for most users. Technique deviation -1 point

Cross-Domain Equivalents

Each canonical level, with its web (axe-core or playwright), document (office or PDF) and markdown.

Canonical Level Web (axe-core / Playwright) Document (Office/PDF) Markdown
Critical critical (axe-core) Missing document title; untagged PDF; missing heading structure Broken anchor link leading to dead navigation
Serious serious (axe-core) Missing alt text on informational image; table has no headers Ambiguous link text (e.g., "click here"); missing alt text on image
Moderate moderate (axe-core) Merged table cells; color-only data encoding Skipped heading level; missing table caption
Minor minor (axe-core) Decorative image with non-empty alt; redundant bookmark Emoji in heading; em-dash used as list separator

Score Impact Rules

Score impacts listed above are additive per finding. When the same issue recurs across many elements:

  • First occurrence — full deduction
  • Same issue type, same page/file — no additional deduction (already counted once per issue rule)
  • Same issue type, different page/file — full deduction applies again to the new page/file score

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.
