accessibility-testing

accessibility-testing is a skill for Claude Code from proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,972 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to checking whether an application can be used by people with disabilities, including keyboard and screen-reader users. It uses WCAG, accessibility guidelines for web content, and covers legal standards such as ADA and Section 508.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test keyboard navigation, screen-reader behavior, color contrast, image text alternatives, and accessible forms. It also describes automated checks in a CI/CD pipeline.
Why use it?
It helps find barriers such as missing form labels, poor color contrast, and unusable keyboard focus. Accessibility checks can support both inclusive design and compliance work.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Consolidated**: For comprehensive WCAG auditing with multi-tool testing (axe-core + pa11y + Lighthouse), video accessibility, and remediation, prefer [`/a11y-.

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-testing 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 6d 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 Testing

Consolidated: For comprehensive WCAG auditing with multi-tool testing (axe-core + pa11y + Lighthouse), video accessibility, and remediation, prefer /a11y-ally. This skill provides a quick reference card for basic accessibility testing patterns.

Browser engine

Browser-driven a11y checks should go through the qe-browser fleet skill. vibium a11y-tree --json returns the full accessibility tree without visual rendering — feed it into axe-core via vibium eval --stdin for ruleset enforcement. See .claude/skills/qe-browser/SKILL.md.

<default_to_action> When testing accessibility or ensuring compliance:

  1. APPLY POUR principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust
  2. TEST with keyboard-only navigation (Tab, Enter, Escape)
  3. VALIDATE with screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS)
  4. CHECK color contrast (4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for large text)
  5. AUTOMATE with axe-core, integrate in CI/CD pipeline

Quick A11y Checklist:

  • All images have alt text (or alt="" for decorative)
  • All form fields have labels
  • Color is never the only indicator
  • Focus visible on all interactive elements
  • Keyboard navigation works throughout

Critical Success Factors:

  • Automated testing catches 30-50% of issues
  • Manual testing with real assistive tech required
  • Include users with disabilities in testing </default_to_action>

Quick Reference Card

When to Use

  • Legal compliance (ADA, Section 508, EU Directive)
  • New feature development
  • Before release validation
  • Accessibility audits

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.
