What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a practical, repeatable checklist to systematically identify accessibility gaps in UI changes, focusing on keyboard operability, semantics, labeling, and visual contrast. It helps teams avoid overclaiming accessibility and encourages iterative verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Keyboard readiness: ensure all interactive elements are reachable and operable; focus indicators are visible; no focus traps.
• Semantics and labeling: prefer native elements; use ARIA only when necessary; ensure controls have accessible names.
• Contrast and non-color cues: verify adequate contrast; ensure errors and status messages are conveyed without relying on color alone.
• Manual verification: recommend tools (e.g., Accessibility Insights) and quick screen-reader spot checks for validation.

Quick Start

Review the latest UI changes using the accessibility checklist, validate keyboard operability and focus visibility, inspect semantic usage and labeling, verify color contrast with non-color cues, and perform a quick screen-reader spot check using recommended tools.
