About This Skill

This skill provides 6 major capabilities: automated scanning, manual verification, keyboard and screen reader testing, contrast analysis, remediation planning, and compliance documentation. It covers WCAG 2.1 levels A, AA, and AAA.

Quick Start

  1. 1Confirm scope: platforms, WCAG level, target pages, key user journeys.
  2. 2Run automated scans to collect baseline violations and coverage gaps.
  3. 3Perform manual checks: keyboard, screen reader, focus order, contrast.
  4. 4Map findings to WCAG criteria, severity, and user impact.
  5. 5Provide remediation steps and re-test after fixes.
Example Command
audit accessibility --url https://example.com --level AA --output report.json

Automated Scanning

Run automated scans to collect baseline violations and coverage gaps across web and mobile platforms.

Manual Verification

Perform manual checks including keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, focus order, and color contrast.

Remediation Guidance

Map findings to WCAG criteria with severity and user impact, then provide step-by-step remediation steps.

Compliance Documentation

Prepare compliance evidence and reports for stakeholders, including re-test results after fixes.

Usage Examples

Before

Login page had 12 accessibility violations including keyboard trap and low contrast.

After

After fixes, login page passed WCAG 2.1 AA with 0 violations and full keyboard operability.
