android-accessibility-best-practices

android-accessibility-best-practices is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from noloman/Android-AI-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (322 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Android rules and patterns for making apps usable with accessibility tools such as TalkBack, the screen reader built into Android.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while building or reviewing Android screens, including Jetpack Compose interfaces, forms, images, custom controls, and time-based content.
Why use it?
It helps prevent interfaces that people with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities cannot use. It also gives developers checks for labels, touch sizes, contrast, reading order, and text scaling.

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

android-accessibility-best-practices 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 10d 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.

Android Accessibility Best Practices

Cross-cutting skill — always activates alongside the project-type-specific skill.

Hard Rules

  • Provide contentDescription on all interactive non-text elements.
  • Set contentDescription = null on purely decorative images.
  • Minimum touch target size: 48dp × 48dp.
  • Meet WCAG AA contrast ratios: 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text.
  • Never convey information by color alone — add icons, patterns, or labels.
  • Ensure logical TalkBack reading order matches visual layout.
  • Apply correct semantics (Role, stateDescription) on custom composables.
  • Time-based content must be pausable or extendable.
  • All form fields must have associated labels.
  • Use sp (not dp) for text sizes to respect user font scaling.

Core Patterns

  • Use Modifier.semantics {} to expose custom component meaning.
  • Use mergeDescendants to group related elements for TalkBack.
  • Test with TalkBack enabled on a real device.
  • Run Accessibility Scanner for automated checks.
  • Support dynamic font sizes — test at maximum font scale.
  • Verify dark theme meets contrast requirements separately.

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
