Implement WCAG 2.2 compliant interfaces with mobile accessibility, inclusive design patterns, and assistive technology support. Use when auditing accessibility, implementing ARIA patterns, building for screen readers, or ensuring inclusive user experiences.

🧩 One of 7 skills in the wshobson/agents package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

Best Practices

  1. Use Semantic HTML: Prefer native elements over ARIA when possible
  2. Test with Real Users: Include people with disabilities in user testing
  3. Keyboard First: Design interactions to work without a mouse
  4. Don't Disable Focus Styles: Style them, don't remove them
  5. Provide Text Alternatives: All non-text content needs descriptions
  6. Support Zoom: Content should work at 200% zoom
  7. Announce Changes: Use live regions for dynamic content
  8. Respect Preferences: Honor prefers-reduced-motion and prefers-contrast

Testing Tools

  • Automated: axe DevTools, WAVE, Lighthouse
  • Manual: VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), NVDA/JAWS (Windows), TalkBack (Android)
  • Simulators: NoCoffee (vision), Silktide (various disabilities)
