a11y-check

a11y-check is a skill for Claude Code from haabe/mycelium. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,790 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An accessibility checker for websites and other user-facing work. It reviews whether people can use the interface with keyboards, screen readers, different text sizes, and different levels of color vision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review HTML structure, image descriptions, form labels, keyboard focus, navigation, color contrast, zoom behavior, captions, and error messages.
Why use it?
It helps find barriers that can prevent people with disabilities from using a page. The checks are based on WCAG 2.1 AA, a widely used set of web accessibility guidelines.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

a11y-check 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 3d 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.

Accessibility Audit

Evaluate user-facing work against the criteria that BIND TO ITS SURFACES. Accessibility is a design constraint, not a polish step (Downe Principle 11) — and an instrument aimed at a surface the product does not have measures nothing while looking like a failure.

STEP 1 — SURFACE GATE. Run this BEFORE the checklist, every time.

The checklist below is written for web pages. Most products are not web pages. Detect which user-facing surfaces this product actually has, from the repository, and evaluate ONLY the criteria that bind to them. Profiles and detection hints: engine/canvas-guidance.yml#surfacesweb · rendered_markdown · terminal · native_app · video_audio · document · headless. A product commonly has several. State which you found and how, in the output.

THE RULE THAT DECIDES EVERY RATING:

situation rating
the surface is ABSENT n/a — and say which surface is missing
the surface is PRESENT and you measured it pass / partial / fail on the evidence
the surface is PRESENT and you did NOT measure it not-assessed — a real gap, it could have been measured

MARKING A CRITERION fail BECAUSE ITS SURFACE DOES NOT EXIST IS A CATEGORY ERROR. It manufactures a defect out of a product's shape, and a done-bar built on it fails for a reason no work can fix.

MEASURED, WHICH IS WHY THIS SECTION EXISTS. On 2026-09-03 this skill's checklist was applied to Mycelium — a terminal product with markdown docs — and Downe principle 11 was rated fail, with the entry stating plainly: "NOT TESTED, which is this principle's own fail criterion... WCAG 2.1 AA is largely the wrong instrument for a terminal product." A delivery bar failed on an instrument that could not bind. Re-run 2026-09-04 under the surface gate: every applicable criterion passed, and the rest were n/a by absence of surface rather than unmeasured.

THREE CONSTRAINTS, OR THIS GATE BECOMES A WAIVER MACHINE. Declaring a surface costs work; declaring its absence costs a word, and accessibility has a long history of being waived on exactly such grounds.

  1. Detect from artifacts and RECORD THE EVIDENCE — say what you looked for and where. An n/a whose basis is "the agent decided" is not a finding and cannot be falsified later.
  2. n/a must never read as pass in a total. "6 pass / 3 n/a" is honest; "9 of 15 clear" is the thing this rule exists to stop.
  3. FLOOR: every shipped product has at least one human surface — its docs, at minimum. A fully-n/a accessibility result is a DETECTOR BUG, not a clean bill. Treat that run as broken.

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.

a11y-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository haabe/mycelium (45 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 1,790 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
