## What it does

The skill selects and shapes test commands for running Sa11y accessibility suites on Lightning Web Components. It checks for a `WORKSPACE` file to distinguish Salesforce Core builds from standalone projects. For standalone repositories, it generates `npm test -- --testMatch="**/*.accessibility.test.js"` without injecting `SA11Y_*` environment variables.

In Core repositories, it formats Bazel targets by stripping `.test.js` extensions and adding flags like `--test_env=SA11Y_AUTO=1`. When saving rendered DOM markup, it directs output to `sfdc-test/unit/javascript/htdocs/sa11y/jest` to prevent EPERM errors. The skill ignores Selenium browser tests, functional Jest tests, and static WCAG audits.

Prerequisites include `Node` 18.0.0 or higher and `npm` 8.0 or higher. Standalone setups require `@sa11y/jest` and a configured `jsdom` test environment. In Bazel runs, exit code 3 signals failed accessibility tests, while code 1 marks a broken build target or command execution failure.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install forcedotcom/sf-skills experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills --path skills/experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/experience-lwc-accessibility-jest-run/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- run Sa11y accessibility unit tests for a specific LWC component
- format Bazel commands for Core accessibility targets without cached results
- reproduce an A11yBug failure using its exact test path
- save Sa11y rendered DOM HTML without encountering EPERM permission errors

## Example prompts
- Run standalone Sa11y accessibility tests for MyComponent.
- Generate the Bazel command to run MyComponent.accessibility.test.js with fresh results.
- Execute all accessibility tests in the experience-components module and save rendered HTML.

# Running LWC Accessibility Jest Tests

Run Sa11y accessibility unit tests on Lightning Web Components in either:

- **Core (Bazel)** — when a `WORKSPACE` file is present.
- **Standalone (Jest)** — when there's no `WORKSPACE`.

Selenium-level reproductions, GUS A11yBug ingestion, and other internal
Salesforce-only flows are out of scope for this skill. For source-code-level
WCAG review without running tests, see `experience-accessibility-validate`.

## When to Use This Skill

- User wants to run accessibility unit tests (Sa11y Jest) locally before
  pushing a fix.
- User has a known failing test file path (e.g. from an A11yBug's
  `Test_Names__c`) and wants to target it directly.
- User is iterating on an accessibility fix and needs the fastest
  pass/fail signal.

## Prerequisites

- For Bazel Jest tests: a Salesforce core build environment (a `WORKSPACE`
  file is present).
- For standalone Jest tests: `@sa11y/jest` installed and configured.


## Workflow

Choose the approach based on the environment. If this is not a Salesforce core
build environment, do not mention the Core workflow.

### Core (Bazel)

Use this mode when a `WORKSPACE` file is present. The base command is:

```bash
{coreRootPath}/tools/bazel test [TARGET] --test_output=streamed --test_env=SA11Y_AUTO=1 --test_env=SA11Y_ENABLE_DOM_MUTATION_OBSERVER=1
```

Replace `{coreRootPath}` with the Core repository root, `{moduleName}` with the
````
