a11y-audit

a11y-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tonyghiani/ai-essentials. It costs 61 tokens per session (883 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of user-interface code for accessibility problems that can block people who use keyboards or screen readers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect forms, modals, flyouts, and custom controls for keyboard operation, focus management, accessible names, image text alternatives, and related WCAG concerns.
Why use it?
It finds issues such as unreachable controls, missing labels, poor focus handling, and incorrect semantics before they prevent users from completing tasks.

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-audit 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 10d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Accessibility audit

Order findings by who gets blocked. A keyboard trap stops work entirely; a missing aria-describedby is a degradation.

Blocking defects

Keyboard reachability. Every interactive element must be operable without a mouse.

  • onClick on a div or span with no role, tabIndex, and key handler. Use a button.
  • Custom controls that don't handle Enter and Space, or Escape to dismiss.
  • tabIndex greater than 0, which breaks document order.
  • Elements hidden from sighted users but still focusable, or the reverse.

Focus management. A modal, flyout, or dialog must move focus in, trap it while open, and return it to the trigger on close. Route changes must move focus to the new content, not leave it on a stale node. Never remove a focus outline without an equally visible replacement.

Accessible name. Every control needs one.

  • Icon-only buttons with no aria-label.
  • Inputs with no associated label (a placeholder is not a label).
  • Links whose text is "here" or "read more" out of context.
  • Images that convey meaning with no alt; decorative images should have alt="".

Semantics. Prefer the native element over ARIA. A button beats role="button". Check heading order for skipped levels, list markup for lists, table markup for tabular data, fieldset/legend for radio and checkbox groups.

Important defects

State communicated visually only. Toggles need aria-pressed or aria-checked. Expandable sections need aria-expanded and aria-controls. Sort direction needs aria-sort. Selected tabs need aria-selected.

Errors and async updates. Form errors must be programmatically tied to the field (aria-describedby, aria-invalid), not just rendered red nearby. Content that appears after an action, a toast, a validation summary, a loaded result, needs a live region or focus move, or a screen-reader user never learns it happened.

Colour and contrast. Text below 4.5:1, or large text below 3:1. Meaning conveyed by colour alone with no icon, text, or pattern. Focus indicators below 3:1 against their background.

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.
