table-accessibility

table-accessibility is a skill for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (671 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating data tables that make row-and-column relationships clear, including to screen reader users. A screen reader is software that reads page content aloud or sends it to a braille display.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for data grids, comparison tables, pricing tables, schedules, spreadsheets, and other two-dimensional data.
Why use it?
It prevents tables from sounding like disconnected values without headers, labels, or context.

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

table-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.

Table Accessibility

Design tables that communicate structure and relationships — not just to sighted users scanning rows and columns, but to screen reader users who navigate one cell at a time.

When to Use a Table

Tables are for data that has relationships across two dimensions (rows and columns). Don't use tables for layout.

  • Use a table: comparing features across products, showing schedules, displaying data with consistent categories
  • Don't use a table: laying out a form, arranging cards, creating visual columns of unrelated content

Core Requirements

Every Table Needs Headers

  • Column headers: use with scope="col"
  • Row headers: use with scope="row"
  • Screen readers announce headers before each cell, so users always know which column and row they're in
  • Without headers, a screen reader user hears a stream of disconnected values with no context

Every Table Needs a Caption or Label

  • Use element for HTML tables
  • Or use aria-labelledby pointing to a visible heading
  • The caption describes what the table contains: "Pricing comparison for Standard, Pro, and Enterprise plans"
  • Not just "Table 1" or "Data"

Simple Tables Over Complex Tables

  • Prefer simple tables with one row of column headers
  • Avoid merged cells (colspan, rowspan) wherever possible
  • If merged cells are necessary, use proper headers/id/scope associations
  • If a table needs merged cells to make sense, consider whether it should be split into multiple simpler tables

Cognitive Accessibility for Tables

Visual Design

  • Zebra striping (alternating row colours) aids row tracking
  • Adequate cell padding (at least 8px) prevents crowding
  • Align numbers right, text left for readability
  • Highlight the header row with stronger contrast

Reduce Complexity

  • Maximum 5–7 columns for comfortable scanning
  • If more columns are needed, consider a different format or allow users to show/hide columns
  • Provide a summary or key takeaway above complex tables
  • Don't require horizontal scrolling — make tables responsive
