## What it does

This skill turns vague requests and raw scanner output from axe or Lighthouse into focused remediation packets. Instead of masking layout bugs behind arbitrary `aria-*` attributes, it identifies the primary failing surface. Typical targets include HTML semantics, tab order, missing names, or routed single-page application feedback.

Every packet isolates top-priority fixes and explicit verification steps. Automated scanners cannot prove complete accessibility. The workflow demands manual keyboard and assistive tech tests while routing layout strategies or design token governance to dedicated tools.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill web-accessibility -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill web-accessibility -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill web-accessibility -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install akillness/jeo-skills web-accessibility
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/web-accessibility/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill web-accessibility -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/akillness/jeo-skills --path .agent-skills/web-accessibility
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add akillness/jeo-skills --skill web-accessibility -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/akillness/jeo-skills/tree/HEAD/.agent-skills/web-accessibility/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn raw axe or Lighthouse audit dumps into actionable code fixes
- resolve keyboard focus traps and tab order issues in dialogs
- define manual screen reader verification steps before releases
- handle route announcement and focus shifts in single-page apps

## Example prompts
- Review this axe report for the checkout modal and generate a remediation packet
- Audit our navigation component for keyboard focus return and escape handling
- Create a manual verification checklist for testing this form with screen readers

  Routing-first skill for web accessibility remediation and verification. Use when
  the main job is classifying which accessibility surface is failing — semantics,
  keyboard/focus, labels/announcements, visual perception/reflow, media
  alternatives, or routed-app navigation feedback — and turning vague audit,
  WCAG, axe/Lighthouse, or "make this accessible" requests into one concrete
  remediation packet. Broad UI critique for hierarchy, polish, and
  launch readiness belongs here too. Route component API architecture and system
  governance to `design-system`, and responsive layout strategy to
  `responsive-design`.
allowed-tools: Read Write Bash Grep Glob
compatibility: >
  Best for frontend and fullstack web work where the primary task is
  accessibility remediation or manual-vs-automated verification. Not for reusable component API
  architecture or viewport-first layout strategy as the main owner.

# Web Accessibility

Use this skill when the job is to **name the failing accessibility surface, fix it at the right layer, and leave behind a short remediation + verification packet**.

The job is not to dump generic WCAG prose, paste raw scanner output, or absorb every neighboring frontend concern.

This skill should:
1. classify the failing accessibility surface,
2. separate automated findings from manual or assistive-technology follow-up,
3. choose the smallest credible remediation packet,
4. keep routed-app feedback and focus behavior explicit,
5. route broader design/layout/component-governance work honestly.

Read these support docs first:
- [references/intake-packets-and-route-outs.md](references/intake-packets-and-route-outs.md)
- [references/audit-remediation-checklist.md](references/audit-remediation-checklist.md)
- [references/handoff-boundaries.md](references/handoff-boundaries.md)

## When to use this skill
- A team says “make this accessible” and the missing accessibility surface is still unclear
- axe, Lighthouse, Accessibility Insights, Pa11y, QA notes, or user reports need to be turned into one remediation plan instead of a raw finding dump
- You need to decide whether the main issue is semantics, keyboard/focus, labels/announcements, reflow/contrast/motion, media alternatives, or routed-app navigation feedback
- A modal, form, nav, menu, table, dashboard, or routed flow needs manual-vs-automated verification guidance before release
- Screen-reader, keyboard-only, or zoom/reflow issues are suspected, but ownership and next checks are unclear

## When not to use this skill
- **The main task is reusable primitive / slot / variant API design or component-family ownership** → `design-system`
