accessibility

accessibility is a skill for Claude Code from oborchers/fractional-cto. It costs 69 tokens per session (851 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for building and reviewing accessible software, meaning software that people with disabilities can use. It covers WCAG 2.2 AA guidance, keyboard use, focus, screen readers, ARIA, color contrast, and single-page applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review interface code for keyboard navigation, visible focus, screen-reader support, correct ARIA attributes, color contrast, and page changes in single-page apps.
Why use it?
It helps you find barriers that may prevent people from using an interface and highlights accessibility and legal requirements.

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

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the target — not because it is aspirational, but because it is law. The ADA Title II final rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for government-facing software. The European Accessibility Act applies to any SaaS accessible to EU citizens. Over 4,000 accessibility lawsuits were filed in 2023 alone.

Minimum Standards

Color Contrast

  • 4.5:1 for normal text
  • 3:1 for large text (18pt+ or 14pt bold)

Keyboard Operability

Every interactive element must be operable by keyboard alone:

Key Action
Tab Navigate between elements
Enter/Space Activate element
Escape Close modals, popovers, dropdowns — always
Arrow keys Navigate within composite widgets

Focus must always be visible. Many CSS resets strip :focus styles — this is a critical accessibility violation. Ensure every focusable element has a visible focus indicator.

SPA Accessibility

Single-page applications break three browser behaviors that most teams miss entirely. Traditional page loads reset focus, announce the new page title, and reset scroll position. SPAs break all three.

Mandatory SPA fixes:

  1. Move focus on route change — use tabindex="-1" on the element receiving programmatic focus
  2. Update the <title> tag on every navigation
  3. Announce route changes via ARIA live regions
  4. Restore focus on back-button navigation

When uncertain where to place focus after navigation, move it to the top of the page — it is always correct.

Use Accessible Component Primitives

Do not build modals, dialogs, or dropdown menus from scratch. The edge cases are vast and the failure modes are invisible to sighted developers.

Use libraries like Radix UI (the foundation of shadcn/ui) that handle ARIA attributes, focus management, and keyboard navigation internally.

Testing

Automated testing catches roughly 30% of accessibility issues. Manual testing catches the rest.

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.
