intelligent-terminal: Skill for Claude Code

Native Windows Accessibility Review

Use this procedure for native WinUI/XAML/C++ accessibility review. The caller owns PR metadata, immutable revisions, trust boundaries, permitted edits, publication, and safe-output policy. This skill owns domain analysis, repository-specific evidence gathering, and focused validation.

Mechanical evidence

Use scripts/accessibility_review.py for deterministic preparation and final-report validation. It classifies changed native UI files, emits stable source signals, records unavailable runtime checks, and enforces the high-only repair contract. Treat its findings as evidence leads, not complete accessibility conclusions.

The source rules are intentionally conservative:

• AXSTATIC001: a changed interactive control explicitly placed in the raw UIA view. This is HIGH impact but medium confidence until peer, style, and intent are inspected, so it is not automatically repairable.
• AXSTATIC002: an apparently icon-only changed control with no local name source. Treat as MEDIUM needs-review evidence. Content, x:Uid, bindings, styles, labels, and peers can provide a name.
• AXSTATIC003: a changed literal accessible name. Treat as MEDIUM, high-confidence localization evidence, not an accessibility auto-fix.

Review procedure

1. Read the caller-provided prepared report and immutable base/head identifiers. When supplied, use comparison_base_sha for the actual feature diff; trusted_base_sha identifies trusted workflow code, not base-only PR changes. Use the trusted staged skill and read-only prepared evidence when supplied; do not load PR-head instructions or regenerate that evidence. Read the exact changed hunks, not only summaries or changed-line snippets. For deletions and renames, use prepared source_evidence to distinguish immutable base content from a present head blob. Trace removed operations or replacement locations; never apply a head repair to a deleted file.
2. Inspect companion XAML, C++ implementation/header, styles/templates, x:Uid source resources, custom AutomationPeers, and focused UIA tests needed to understand the changed operation.
3. Determine accessible name, role/control type, value/state, label, description/help text, and required UIA patterns. Do not report a missing literal AutomationProperties.Name by itself:
   • standard controls can derive names from content or headers;
   • x:Uid, bindings, styles/templates, LabeledBy, and peers can supply accessible data;
   • decorative elements can intentionally be absent from control/content view.
4. Trace keyboard-only activation and traversal. Check tab and arrow-key order, access/accelerator keys, dialog/flyout entry and exit, focus restoration, traps, stashed/restored panes, and custom key handlers.
5. Trace screen-reader state changes. Check LiveSetting, UIA notification events, meaningful payloads, duplicate/noisy announcements, and whether disabled, unavailable, loading, and busy states are exposed.
6. Inspect visual accessibility: high-contrast and theme resources, color-only communication, text wrapping/trimming, fixed dimensions, 200% text/display scaling, clipping, reflow, and scroll reachability.
   • When a change replaces local control properties with a shared style, compare every removed alignment, size, wrapping, and focus-related property with the style's actual setters and the framework default. Do not assume the style preserves omitted behavior.
   • In Grid layouts, account for the default Stretch alignment and rows whose height is driven by wrapped sibling text. A picker or button that previously used centered/natural sizing can otherwise expand to the sibling's full height.
7. Apply the same review to tabs, panes, settings controls, titlebar controls, and agent cards. Preserve repository behavior and custom peer semantics.
8. Classify each finding with severity independent from confidence:
   • HIGH: a significant operation is inaccessible, with direct repository-specific evidence.
   • MEDIUM/LOW: advice or a risk requiring runtime confirmation. Unsafe or uncertain HIGH findings remain remaining or blocked.
9. Repair only a high-confidence HIGH defect when the caller exposes a trusted recipe for it. The only current recipe is AXSTATIC001-remove-raw-view: remove exactly the raw-view property from the matching prepared standard interactive control, which must already have a name source. Make no other hunk or file change; preserve the original encoding, BOM, and line endings. Set repair_recipe to that value and leave validation empty for the trusted validator to attest. A style reference alone is not a trusted name source. If naming depends on style setters, leave the finding remaining/blocked; the current recipe does not resolve styles to authenticate that name.
10. Keep runtime-dependent fixes remaining or blocked. The agent cannot authenticate its own command/result JSON, and the Ubuntu workflow cannot validate UIA patterns, focus, announcements, rendering, or scaling.
11. Re-read the complete final diff. Never repair MEDIUM/LOW findings merely to reduce the report, and never add unrelated or untracked files. Fork review is read-only. When the caller requires one commit per finding, commit each eligible repair separately on the verified PR-head branch before editing the next. Link each commit in that finding's summary row, then request one publication for the complete series. Do not change branches or edit after capture; the trusted gate verifies the captured series against the recipe-verified candidate. Follow the caller's publication policy: when the PR reviewer owns build/test validation, do not add post-fix builds, tests, native jobs or environment provisioning as prerequisites to an eligible repair commit or push. Preserve caller-configured native checks used to discover problems in the original revision; fix-publication policy does not disable that review.
