A guide for checking websites against WCAG 2.2, the international rules for making digital content accessible to people with disabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?

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-audit-patterns 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 5d 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.

WCAG Audit Patterns

Comprehensive guide to auditing web content against WCAG 2.2 guidelines with actionable remediation strategies.

When to Use This Skill

  • Conducting accessibility audits
  • Fixing WCAG violations
  • Implementing accessible components
  • Preparing for accessibility lawsuits
  • Meeting ADA/Section 508 requirements
  • Achieving VPAT compliance

Core Concepts

1. WCAG Conformance Levels

Level Description Required For
A Minimum accessibility Legal baseline
AA Standard conformance Most regulations
AAA Enhanced accessibility Specialized needs

2. POUR Principles

Perceivable:  Can users perceive the content?
Operable:     Can users operate the interface?
Understandable: Can users understand the content?
Robust:       Does it work with assistive tech?

3. Common Violations by Impact

Critical (Blockers):
├── Missing alt text for functional images
├── No keyboard access to interactive elements
├── Missing form labels
└── Auto-playing media without controls

Serious:
├── Insufficient color contrast
├── Missing skip links
├── Inaccessible custom widgets
└── Missing page titles

Moderate:
├── Missing language attribute
├── Unclear link text
├── Missing landmarks
└── Improper heading hierarchy

Audit Checklist

Perceivable (Principle 1)

## 1.1 Text Alternatives

### 1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A)
- [ ] All images have alt text
- [ ] Decorative images have alt=""
- [ ] Complex images have long descriptions
- [ ] Icons with meaning have accessible names
- [ ] CAPTCHAs have alternatives

Check:
```html
<!-- Good -->
<img src="chart.png" alt="Sales increased 25% from Q1 to Q2">
<img src="decorative-line.png" alt="">

<!-- Bad -->
<img src="chart.png">
<img src="decorative-line.png" alt="decorative line">

1.2 Time-based Media

1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Level A)

  • Audio has text transcript
  • Video has audio description or transcript

1.2.2 Captions (Level A)

  • All video has synchronized captions
  • Captions are accurate and complete
  • Speaker identification included

1.2.3 Audio Description (Level A)

  • Video has audio description for visual content

1.3 Adaptable

1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A)

  • Headings use proper tags (h1-h6)
  • Lists use ul/ol/dl
  • Tables have headers
  • Form inputs have labels
  • ARIA landmarks present

Check:

<!-- Heading hierarchy -->
<h1>Page Title</h1>
  <h2>Section</h2>
    <h3>Subsection</h3>
  <h2>Another Section</h2>
