## What it does

The skill evaluates web applications against the WCAG 2.2 standard following WCAG-EM steps. It scopes the review boundary, identifies core routes and templates, and samples representative flows. To keep memory light on large audits, each sampled page runs as an isolated `Task` subagent. Independent pages can run in parallel before findings are merged into a single report.

Evaluation combines two tiers. The automated pass uses `accessibility-scan` to catch rule-based issues, while `accessibility-inspect` handles keyboard navigation, focus order, and reflow. Findings are strictly categorized by evidence: verified automated bugs, items flagged for human verification, and barriers requiring lived experience with assistive tech.

This skill only assesses; it never edits code. If you need automatic code patches, run `accessibility-fix` instead. Unchecked success criteria or those requiring manual inspection are recorded as undetermined rather than passing, preventing false compliance claims.
