Use when auditing accessibility, fixing a11y violations, checking color contrast, generating compliance reports, or integrating accessibility checks into CI/CD pipelines." --- # Accessibility Audit WCAG 2.2 Accessibility Audit and Remediation Skill ## Description The a11y-audit skill provides a complete accessibility audit pipeline for modern web applications. It implements a three-phase workflow -- Scan, Fix, Verify -- that identifies WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA violations, generates exact fix code per framework, and produces stakeholder-ready compliance reports. For every violation it finds, it provides the precise before/after code fix tailored to your framework (React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or plain HTML). **What this skill does:** 1. **Scans** your codebase for every WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA violation, categorized by severity (Critical, Major, Minor) 2. **Fixes** each violation with framework-specific before/after code patterns 3. **Verifies** that fixes resolve the original violations and introduces no regressions 4. **Reports** findings in a structured format suitable for developers, PMs, and compliance stakeholders 5. **Integrates** into CI/CD pipelines to prevent accessibility regressions ## Features | Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | **Full WCAG 2.2 Scan** | Checks all Level A and AA success criteria across your codebase | | **Framework Detection** | Auto-detects React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or plain HTML | | **Severity Classification** | Categorizes each violation as Critical, Major, or Minor | | **Fix Code Generation** | Produces before/after code diffs for every issue | | **Color Contrast Checker** | Validates foreground/background pairs against AA and AAA ratios | | **Compliance Reporting** | Generates stakeholder reports with pass/fail summaries | | **CI/CD Integration** | GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps pipeline configs | | **Keyboard Navigation Audit** | Detects missing focus management and tab order issues | | **ARIA Validation** | Checks for incorrect, redundant, or missing ARIA attributes | ### Severity Definitions | Severity | Definition | Example | SLA | |----------|-----------|---------|-----| | **Critical** | Blocks access for entire user groups | Missing alt text, no keyboard access to navigation | Fix before release | | **Major** | Significant barrier that degrades experience | Insufficient color contrast, missing form labels | Fix within current sprint | | **Minor** | Usability issue that causes friction | Redundant ARIA roles, suboptimal heading hierarchy | Fix within next 2 sprints | ## Usage ### Quick Start ```bash # Scan entire project python scripts/a11y_scanner.py /path/to/project # Scan with JSON output for tooling python scripts/a11y_scanner.py /path/to/project --json # Check color contrast for specific values python scripts/contrast_checker.py --fg "#777777" --bg "#ffffff" # Check contrast across a CSS/Tailwind file python scripts/contrast_checker.py --file /path/to/styles.css ``` ### Slash Command ``` /a11y-audit # Audit current project /a11y-audit --scope src/ # Audit specific directory /a11y-audit --fix # Audit and auto-apply fixes /a11y-audit --report # Generate stakeholder report /a11y-audit --ci # Output CI-compatible results ``` ### Three-Phase Workflow **Phase 1: Scan** -- Walk the source tree, detect framework, apply rule set. ```bash python scripts/a11y_scanner.py /path/to/project --format table ``` **Phase 2: Fix** -- Apply framework-specific fixes for each violation. > See [references/framework-a11y-patterns.md](references/framework-a11y-patterns.md) for the complete fix patterns catalog. **Phase 3: Verify** -- Re-run the scanner to confirm fixes and check for regressions. ```bash python scripts/a11y_scanner.py /path/to/project --baseline audit-baseline.json ``` ## Example: React Component Audit ```tsx // BEFORE: src/components/ProductCard.tsx function ProductCard({ product }) { return (

navigate(`/product/${product.id}`)}>

{product.name}

${product.price}

); } ``` | # | WCAG | Severity | Issue | |---|------|----------|-------| | 1 | 1.1.1 | Critical | `` missing `alt` attribute | | 2 | 2.1.1 | Critical | `

` not keyboard accessible | | 3 | 1.4.3 | Major | Color `#aaa` on white fails contrast (2.32:1, needs 4.5:1) | | 4 | 1.4.3 | Major | Color `#999` on white fails contrast (2.85:1, needs 4.5:1) | | 5 | 4.1.2 | Major | Interactive element missing role and accessible name | ```tsx // AFTER: src/components/ProductCard.tsx function ProductCard({ product }) { return (

{product.name}

${product.price} ); } ``` > See [references/examples-by-framework.md](references/examples-by-framework.md) for Vue, Angular, Next.js, and Svelte examples. ## Tools Reference ### a11y_scanner.py ``` Usage: python scripts/a11y_scanner.py [options] Options: --json Output results as JSON --format {table,csv} Output format (default: table) --severity {critical,major,minor} Filter by minimum severity --framework {react,vue,angular,svelte,html,auto} Force framework (default: auto) --baseline FILE Compare against previous scan results --report Generate stakeholder report --output FILE Write results to file --quiet Suppress output, exit code only --ci CI mode: non-zero exit on critical issues ``` ### contrast_checker.py ``` Usage: python scripts/contrast_checker.py [options] Options: --fg COLOR Foreground color (hex) --bg COLOR Background color (hex) --file FILE Scan CSS file for color pairs --tailwind DIR Scan directory for Tailwind color classes --json Output results as JSON --suggest Suggest accessible alternatives for failures --level {aa,aaa} Target conformance level (default: aa) ``` ## Common Pitfalls | Pitfall | Correct Approach | |---------|------------------| | `role="button"` on a `
