What problem does it solve?
Web applications often fail to meet accessibility standards, excluding users with disabilities and exposing organizations to legal penalties under regulations like the European Accessibility Act, ADA Title II, and Section 508. This Skill catches WCAG 2.2 AA compliance failures early in the development cycle, before they reach production or trigger audits.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-engine automated scanning: Runs axe-core, IBM Equal Access, Pa11y, and Lighthouse against rendered DOM surfaces across mobile and desktop viewports to catch contrast failures, missing labels, focus traps, and other common issues.
- Manual review checklists: Covers gaps automation misses, including keyboard navigation order, screen reader coherence, alt text quality, and reduced motion support.
- Compliance reporting: Generates triaged findings aligned with WCAG 2.2 POUR principles, with severity ratings, suggested fixes, and baseline tracking for CI/CD gating.
- Use Case: A SaaS development team can audit their user onboarding flow to identify and fix missing form labels, low-contrast text, and inaccessible modal dialogs before launch, avoiding costly post-release remediation and regulatory fines.
