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

a11y-ally scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

/a11y-ally - Comprehensive Accessibility Audit

<default_to_action> When this skill is invoked with a URL, Claude executes ALL steps automatically without waiting for user prompts between steps.

THIS IS AN LLM-POWERED SKILL

The value of this skill is Claude's intelligence, not just running automated tools:

Automated Tools Do Claude (This Skill) Does
Flag "button has no name" Analyze context: icon class, parent element, nearby text → generate "Add to wishlist"
Flag "image missing alt" Use Vision to see the image → describe actual content
Flag "video has no captions" Download video, extract frames, analyze each frame with Vision → generate real captions
Output generic templates Generate context-specific, copy-paste ready fixes

IF YOU SKIP THE LLM ANALYSIS, THIS SKILL HAS NO VALUE.


EXECUTION MODEL

CLAUDE EXECUTES ALL STEPS WITHOUT STOPPING.

Do NOT wait for user prompts between steps. Execute the full pipeline:

  1. Data Collection: Run multi-tool scan (axe-core, pa11y, Lighthouse) via Bash
  2. LLM Analysis: Read results and analyze context for each violation
  3. Vision Pipeline: If videos detected → download → extract frames → Read each frame → describe
  4. Intelligent Remediation: Generate context-specific fixes using your reasoning
  5. Generate Reports: Write all output files to docs/accessibility-scans/{page-slug}/

WRONG:

Claude: "I found 5 violations. Should I analyze them?"
User: "Yes"
Claude: "I see a video. Should I run the video pipeline?"
User: "Yes"

RIGHT:

Claude: [Runs scan] → [Analyzes violations] → [Downloads video] → [Extracts frames] →
        [Reads each frame with Vision] → [Generates captions] → [Writes all files]
        "Audit complete. Generated 4 files in docs/accessibility-scans/example/"

STEP 1: BROWSER AUTOMATION - Content Fetching

1.1: Try VIBIUM First (Primary)

ToolSearch("select:mcp__vibium__browser_launch")
ToolSearch("select:mcp__vibium__browser_navigate")
mcp__vibium__browser_launch({ headless: true })
mcp__vibium__browser_navigate({ url: "TARGET_URL" })

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.
