WCAG 2.2 Accessibility Audit and Remediation Skill
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:
| 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 | 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 |

Phase 1: Scan -- Walk the source tree, detect framework, apply rule set.
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 for the complete fix patterns catalog.
Phase 3: Verify -- Re-run the scanner to confirm fixes and check for regressions.

// BEFORE: src/components/ProductCard.tsx
function ProductCard({ product }) {
return (
<div onClick={() => navigate(`/product/${product.id}`)}>
<img src={product.image} />
<div style={{ color: '#aaa', fontSize: '12px' }}>{product.name}</div>
<span style={{ color: '#999' }}>${product.price}</span>
</div>
);
}
| # | WCAG | Severity | Issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.1.1 | Critical | <img> missing alt attribute |
| 2 | 2.1.1 | Critical | <div onClick> 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 |
// AFTER: src/components/ProductCard.tsx
function ProductCard({ product }) {
return (
<a href={`/product/${product.id}`} className="product-card"
aria-label={`View ${product.name} - $${product.price}`}>
<img src={product.image} alt={product.imageAlt || product.name} />
<div style={{ color: '#595959', fontSize: '12px' }}>{product.name}</div>
<span style={{ color: '#767676' }}>${product.price}</span>

| Pitfall | Correct Approach |
|---|---|
role="button" on a <div> | Use native <button> -- includes keyboard handling for free |
tabindex="0" on everything | Only interactive elements need focus; use native elements |
aria-label on non-interactive elements | Use aria-labelledby pointing to visible text |
display: none for screen reader hiding | Use .sr-only class instead |
| Color alone to convey meaning | Add icons, text labels, or patterns alongside color |
| Placeholder as only label | Always provide a visible <label> |
outline: none without replacement | Always provide a visible focus indicator via focus-visible |
Empty alt="" on informational images | Informational images need descriptive alt text |
| Skipping heading levels (h1 -> h3) | Heading levels must be sequential |
onClick without onKeyDown | Add keyboard support or prefer native elements |
Ignoring prefers-reduced-motion | Wrap animations in @media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) |
