What it does

A11y Pass is an agent skill from Archive228/loopkit. Catch the accessibility failures that ship in almost every AI-built UI. Use after building any interactive component.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: 33 battle-tested skills + minimal .claude harness for any coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/a11y-pass”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ae033e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

A11y Pass loads about 216 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 83 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~216

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

when_to_use
forms, buttons, modals, images, color choices, keyboard interaction

Accessibility Pass

  • Keyboard — every interactive element reachable and operable by Tab/Enter/Esc. Modals trap focus and restore it on close.
  • Labels — every input has a real <label>; icon-only buttons have aria-label.
  • Images — meaningful alt; decorative images alt="".
  • Contrast — text ≥ 4.5:1 (3:1 for large). Don't encode meaning in color alone.
  • Semantics — real <button>/<a>, not a clickable <div>. Headings in order.
  • Focus — visible focus ring. Never outline: none without a replacement. Output: each failure with the element + the fix. Test it with Tab only, no mouse.
