wcag-accessibility

wcag-accessibility is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dembrandt/dembrandt-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (2,037 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for making user interfaces accessible under WCAG 2.2 Level AA, an international set of requirements for people with disabilities. It covers areas such as colour contrast, keyboard use, readable content, and compatibility with assistive technology.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing, building, or reviewing websites and applications. It helps check controls, text, focus states, forms, navigation, and other parts of a user-facing interface.
Why use it?
It helps remove barriers that can prevent people from seeing, operating, or understanding an interface. It also provides a technical baseline referenced by European accessibility rules.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Check contrast on the real rendered page, not the spec (dembrandt engine, optional).** Design-time swatches lie once real text lands on real backgrounds, grad.

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

wcag-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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WCAG Accessibility (EN 301 549 / European Standard)

The Standard

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires digital products and services in the EU to meet EN 301 549, which references WCAG 2.2 Level AA as the technical baseline. This is not optional — it is a legal requirement for products operating in the EU market.

Default: always build to WCAG 2.2 AA. Deviating requires explicit, documented justification. Do not skip accessibility requirements because of timeline pressure or design preference.

WCAG 2.2 AA organises requirements under four principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust.


Perceivable

Users must be able to perceive all content and UI components.

Colour Contrast

Context Minimum ratio Enhanced (AAA)
Normal text (< 18pt / < 14pt bold) 4.5 : 1 7 : 1
Large text (≥ 18pt / ≥ 14pt bold) 3 : 1 4.5 : 1
UI components and graphical objects 3 : 1

Check contrast on the real rendered page, not the spec (dembrandt engine, optional). Design-time swatches lie once real text lands on real backgrounds, gradients, and overlays. get_findings / render_report run against the live DOM and surface the actual failing text/background pairs with their measured ratios — a fast way to catch the combinations a static palette review misses. See extract-design.

Disabled elements are exempt. WCAG explicitly excludes inactive UI components from contrast requirements (WCAG 1.4.3 exception). A disabled button may use low-contrast text — this is intentional and correct, as it communicates the unavailable state.

Do not use colour as the only means of conveying information (e.g. a red border alone to indicate an error — add an icon or text label).

Text Alternatives

  • Every meaningful image needs alt text describing its content or function
  • Decorative images use alt="" so screen readers skip them
  • Icons used as buttons need an accessible label: aria-label or visually hidden text
  • Charts and data visualisations need a text summary or data table alternative

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.
