What is accessibility-debt-tracking?

A way to track known accessibility problems that have been postponed. Accessibility problems are barriers that make a product harder or impossible for some people with disabilities to use.

Use it to manage an accessibility backlog, plan fixes, record regressions, and track known gaps in support for assistive technologies such as screen readers.

It keeps deferred issues visible and shows how they can become more expensive or harder to fix as the product changes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00077	$0.00713
Opus 5.5	$0.00031	$0.00285
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00143
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00071

Security

Grade A, and why

accessibility-debt-tracking 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 2mo 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 Debt Tracking

Track accessibility debt the way you'd track technical debt — as a known liability with a cost that compounds over time.

What Is Accessibility Debt

Accessibility debt is every known accessibility issue that exists in your product but hasn't been fixed. It includes:

Issues found in audits that were deprioritised
Tradeoffs where accessibility was deferred
New features shipped without full accessibility
Regressions introduced by updates or redesigns
Known gaps in assistive technology support

Why It Compounds

Unlike a feature request that just waits, accessibility debt grows:

Each new feature built on top of an inaccessible foundation inherits the inaccessibility
Users with disabilities develop workarounds that break when you eventually fix things differently than they expect
Legal exposure increases with time and awareness
The longer an issue persists, the more expensive it becomes to fix (code has grown around it)
Team knowledge of why the issue exists fades

Debt Record Format

For each known accessibility issue, track:

Issue: clear description of the accessibility barrier Severity: critical (blocks task) / major (significant difficulty) / minor (friction) Who's affected: specific user groups Where: page, component, or flow WCAG criteria: which success criteria it violates Discovered: date and how (audit, user report, testing) Deferred because: the reason it wasn't fixed immediately Workaround: any temporary alternative for affected users Estimated fix effort: small / medium / large Remediation deadline: when it must be fixed Owner: who is responsible for the fix

Managing the Debt

Triage Rules

Critical (blocks task): fix in current sprint, no exceptions
Major (significant difficulty): fix within 30 days
Minor (friction): fix within 90 days
Any issue older than its deadline gets escalated

Preventing New Debt

Accessibility acceptance criteria on every story
Accessibility check before merge (automated + manual)
Regression testing for previously fixed issues
New features cannot ship with critical accessibility debt

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.
