better-accessibility

better-accessibility is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from talebook/talebook. It costs 141 tokens per session (2,005 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

A guide to making product interfaces usable with keyboards and screen readers, software that reads interface content aloud or outputs it as braille. It covers focus states, labels, forms, menus, dialogs, and ARIA, a system for describing interface meaning to assistive technology.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing components, dialogs, menus, forms, and custom controls, or when fixing keyboard and screen-reader problems.
Why use it?
It helps people complete tasks without a mouse and understand controls, names, and states through assistive technology. It also reduces errors caused by replacing built-in browser controls with incomplete custom versions.

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

better-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 4d 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Accessibility that comes with the craft

Accessibility is not a compliance checkbox bolted on at the end; it is the floor for interface craft. Most of it is free if you use the platform: native elements ship with keyboard support, real labels announce themselves, and a visible focus ring is one CSS rule. Apply these principles when building or reviewing UI code, and write every fix in the project's own idiom: the styling system already in use, never a second one alongside it.

When reviewing, walk the interface as a keyboard-only user first (every flow must complete without a mouse), then as a screen-reader user: does each control announce a name, a role, and its state? When unsure, prefer the platform default over a custom rebuild, and remove ARIA rather than add it.

Rendered-pair contrast measurement and color remediation are covered by the better-colors skill; visual text sizing and iOS input zoom by better-typography; spatial RTL layout by better-layout.

Quick Reference

Category When to Use
Focus & Keyboard Focus rings, skip links, tabindex, focus trapping, APG keyboard patterns
Semantics & ARIA Native elements first, button vs link, landmarks, accessible names, disabled states
Forms Labels, autocomplete, error messaging, input types
Screen Readers Visually hidden content, live regions, toasts, alt text, SVG
Hit Areas Target sizes, expanding hit areas, collision rules
Motion & Zoom prefers-reduced-motion, autoplay and timed UI, 200% zoom, reflow, rem vs px
Review Output Format Severity scale, findings table, verification, verdict

Core Principles

1. Native Elements First

The first rule of ARIA: don't use ARIA when a native element exists. <button> for actions, <a href> for navigation (it must support Cmd/Ctrl/middle-click), never <div onClick>. No ARIA is better than bad ARIA.

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.
