About This Skill

Accessibility Auditor performs comprehensive WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 compliance checks on web pages, components, and entire codebases. It identifies violations across all four WCAG principles — Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust — and provides actionable fix recommendations with code examples.

How It Works

  1. Markup analysis — Scans HTML for missing alt text, improper heading hierarchy, missing form labels, and landmark region issues
  2. ARIA validation — Checks ARIA roles, states, and properties against WAI-ARIA spec requirements
  3. Color contrast — Evaluates text/background color pairs against WCAG AA and AAA contrast thresholds
  4. Keyboard audit — Analyzes tab order, focus indicators, and keyboard trap risks
  5. Report generation — Produces a prioritized violation report with severity levels (Critical, Serious, Moderate, Minor)

Best For

  • Teams preparing for accessibility compliance deadlines (ADA, EAA)
  • Reviewing pull requests for accessibility regressions
  • Auditing third-party component libraries before adoption
  • Training developers on common accessibility patterns

Standards Coverage

Covers WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA criteria fully, with partial AAA coverage. Includes checks from WCAG 2.2 additions including focus appearance, dragging movements, and consistent help patterns.

Use Cases

  • Pre-launch accessibility compliance audits
  • Reviewing component libraries for ARIA pattern correctness
  • Generating remediation reports for stakeholders
  • Keyboard navigation and focus management analysis

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • + Comprehensive WCAG 2.1/2.2 coverage
  • + Prioritized violations with severity levels
  • + Provides fix code examples, not just problem descriptions
  • + Covers both automated checks and manual review guidance

Cons

  • - Cannot test dynamic interactions — screen reader testing still needed
  • - Color contrast checks require computed style values, not just source CSS
