accessibility-gate

accessibility-gate is a skill for Claude Code from vmobifystudio/app-dev-team. It costs 74 tokens per session (636 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pass-or-fail checklist for accessibility changes in user-facing software. It checks labels, reading order, announcements for state changes, and other details that affect people using assistive technology.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review changed screens, components, and states before a user-facing ticket is considered complete.
Why use it?
An interface can look correct while remaining difficult or impossible to use with a screen reader or other accessibility tools. The gate catches these problems during review.

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-gate 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 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.

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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Accessibility gate

The studio's position, from the plan: accessibility does not need a specialist role, it needs a gate that can fail. This is that gate. It runs on the diff, not on the finished app, because a retrofit is an order of magnitude more expensive than doing it in the ticket.

Where a platform auditor exists, spawn it first and fold its findings in — axiom:accessibility-auditor on iOS, ui-design:accessibility-audit elsewhere. Both are external and optional (separate plugins, not this one's skills/). Missing → record N/A: <tool> — not installed, walk the list by hand, never file the absence as a defect.

The gate

Each item is PASS or FAIL: <what and where>. There is no partial credit and no "minor".

  1. Every interactive element has an accessible label that says what it does — not its icon name. An unlabelled icon button is a control that does not exist for a screen-reader user.
  2. Reading order matches visual order, and grouped content is grouped for the screen reader too.
  3. Every state change is announced — loading finished, error appeared, item deleted. A silent state change strands the user in the previous screen.
  4. Touch targets are at least 44pt (iOS) / 48dp (Android), including in dense lists.
  5. Contrast: 4.5:1 body text, 3:1 large text and non-text indicators. Checked against the token, in both light and dark.
  6. Colour is never the only signal. Error, selection and status carry a shape, an icon or text.
  7. Dynamic Type / font scaling to the largest supported size does not clip, truncate meaning, or overlap. Test at the maximum, not at 120%.
  8. Keyboard and switch access reach every action, focus is always visible, and focus is never trapped. On web this includes a skip link and a visible :focus-visible style.
  9. Reduce-motion is honoured and still gives the user feedback (interaction-motion).
  10. Media has an alternative — alt text, caption, or transcript.

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.
