SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Classroom PowerPoint decks often contain accessibility barriers—missing alt text, poor reading order, low contrast, uncaptioned media—that exclude learners using assistive technology, and manual review is inconsistent without a structured checklist. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Accessibility Audit: Inspects editable slide structure, reading order, alt text, tables, hyperlinks, contrast, and media captions against a defined checklist, classifying findings as blocker, major, minor, or verified. - Native Checker Integration: Runs PowerPoint's built-in Accessibility Checker when available and preserves its raw error, warning, tip, and intelligent-service findings as evidence. - Fail-Closed Reporting: Produces a findings table plus a status summary (passed, needs_fixes, not_verifiable) that never overstates rendered previews or checker results as proof of assistive-technology compatibility. - Use Case: A teacher finalizes a lecture deck and asks for an accessibility review; the skill audits every slide, runs the native checker, and returns a per-slide findings table with recommended fixes and residual risks. ## Quick Start Audit the attached classroom presentation 'lecture-week3.pptx' for accessibility and report all findings with recommended fixes.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check a PowerPoint presentation for accessibility?▼

Audit the editable slide structure for titles, alt text, reading order, contrast, tables, and captions, then run PowerPoint's native Accessibility Checker. This skill performs both reviews and reports findings by severity with recommended fixes.

What does PowerPoint accessibility audit check for?▼

It checks slide titles, language metadata, alt text on images and charts, reading order, table headers, hyperlink text, video captions, color contrast, animation, and font size. Findings are classified as blocker, major, minor, or verified.

Does the PowerPoint Accessibility Checker prove a deck is fully accessible?▼

No. The native checker only covers known rules, so an empty result is not proof of accessibility. Visual review and editable-structure inspection are still required, and screen-reader compatibility needs separate testing with a named tool.

Can I audit accessibility from a PDF or screenshot of slides?▼

Only partially. Rendered previews provide visual evidence like contrast and clipping but cannot verify reading order, alt text, or object semantics. The skill records flattened formats as blockers to full structural verification.

When should I not use this accessibility audit skill?▼

Do not use it to create slides, redesign layouts, or perform format-only conversion. It is a validator for existing decks whose content and layout are already stable, not a presentation authoring tool.
