Accessibility guidance for web interfaces based on WCAG 2.2 AA, a widely used standard for making websites usable by people with disabilities. It covers readable contrast, keyboard use, screen readers, forms, motion, and page structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing components, adding ARIA labels, writing alternative text, checking keyboard navigation and color contrast, or auditing accessibility.
Why use it?
It helps identify and prevent barriers that may stop people from seeing, navigating, or understanding an interface.

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 11d 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.

[Manual Testing]
    ├── Keyboard-only navigation
    ├── Screen reader walkthrough (VoiceOver, NVDA)
    └── Zoom to 200% / reflow check
              ↓
[Continuous Compliance]
    ├── CI gate (axe failures block merge)
    ├── Design token enforcement (contrast-safe palette)
    └── Periodic audit (quarterly full review)

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.
