color-contrast-auditor

color-contrast-auditor is a skill for Claude Code from curiositech/some_claude_skills. It costs 116 tokens per session (3,286 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for checking whether text, buttons, icons, and other visual elements are easy to see for people with different levels of vision. It uses WCAG 2.1, a common set of web accessibility guidelines, to assess color contrast.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit screenshots, CSS, or Tailwind colors; calculate contrast ratios; simulate some forms of color blindness; and prepare accessibility checks before launch.
Why use it?
It helps find color combinations that make content difficult to read or controls hard to identify. It also suggests accessible alternatives instead of relying only on visual judgment.

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

color-contrast-auditor 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 12d 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.

Color Contrast Auditor

Detects color contrast violations that make text unreadable and provides WCAG-compliant fixes. Uses both mathematical contrast ratio analysis and perceptual evaluation via vision capabilities.

When to Use

Activate on:

  • Screenshots of websites/apps with suspected contrast issues
  • CSS/Tailwind files for color audit
  • "I can't read this" or "this is hard to see"
  • Pre-launch accessibility checks
  • Design system color validation

NOT for:

  • Choosing brand colors (use web-design-expert)
  • Color harmony/aesthetics (use color-theory-palette-harmony-expert)
  • Non-visual accessibility (screen readers, keyboard nav)

WCAG 2.1 Contrast Requirements

Minimum Ratios (AA - Required)

Text Type Minimum Ratio Example
Normal text (<24px, <18.66px bold) 4.5:1 Body copy, labels, buttons
Large text (≥24px or ≥18.66px bold) 3:1 Headlines, hero text
UI components (borders, icons) 3:1 Form inputs, icons, focus rings
Graphical objects 3:1 Charts, infographics

Enhanced Ratios (AAA - Recommended)

Text Type Minimum Ratio
Normal text 7:1
Large text 4.5:1

Non-Text Elements

Element Requirement
Focus indicators 3:1 against adjacent colors
Form field borders 3:1 against background
Icons conveying meaning 3:1 against background
Disabled elements No requirement (but consider UX)

Contrast Ratio Formula

Contrast Ratio = (L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05)

Where L1 = lighter color's relative luminance
      L2 = darker color's relative luminance

Calculating Relative Luminance

function relativeLuminance(r, g, b) {
  // Convert 0-255 to 0-1
  let [rs, gs, bs] = [r, g, b].map(c => c / 255);

  // Apply gamma correction
  const gamma = c => c <= 0.03928
    ? c / 12.92
    : Math.pow((c + 0.055) / 1.055, 2.4);

  const [R, G, B] = [rs, gs, bs].map(gamma);

  // Weighted sum (human eye sensitivity)
  return 0.2126 * R + 0.7152 * G + 0.0722 * B;
}

function contrastRatio(color1, color2) {
  const l1 = relativeLuminance(...color1);
  const l2 = relativeLuminance(...color2);
  const lighter = Math.max(l1, l2);
  const darker = Math.min(l1, l2);
  return (lighter + 0.05) / (darker + 0.05);
}

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.
