github-a11y-scanner

Automate accessibility testing in GitHub CI by adding the scanner action to your workflow, configuring it with live URLs, a repository token, and a cache key to detect axe-core violations mapped to WCAG criteria. It runs headless browser scans on every run and outputs structured findings.

Yes, the scanner automatically creates trackable GitHub Issues for each accessibility finding, including the violating element, the specific WCAG criterion, and remediation guidance directly in the issue body. You can optionally attach screenshots of the violations.

Yes, it supports authenticated scanning using login flows, SSO, and Playwright auth contexts. You configure these by passing the login_url, username, password, and auth_context inputs directly in your GitHub workflow configuration.

You prevent duplicate findings by using the cache_key input to enable delta caching. This stores previous results to detect new, fixed, or persistent accessibility violations across runs, ensuring you only track relevant changes.

Yes, you can optionally assign the generated GitHub Issues to GitHub Copilot. Copilot then provides AI-powered fix suggestions and can automatically create pull requests to remediate the detected WCAG violations.
