What it does

Cometchat A11y is an agent skill from cometchat/cometchat-skills. Keep a CometChat integration accessible — the UI Kit is designed targeting WCAG 2.1 AA with keyboard navigation (verify per component in its docs; full conformance still needs manual testing), and this skill makes sure the HOST app doesn't break that, covering contrast, focus, screen-reader context, reduced motion, RTL, and calls accessibility. Cross-family. Triggers: 'is cometchat accessible', 'WCAG / 508 / ADA compliance', 'screen reader support', 'keyboard navigation', 'a11y audit', 'accessible chat'…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: CometChat UI Kits (React v7 · Angular v5 · React Native v5 · iOS v5 · Android v6 · Flutter v6). Kit components are designed targeting WCAG 2.1 AA + keyboard…

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. It works with CometChat. The repository describes itself as: Add CometChat chat & messaging and voice & video calls to any React, Next.js, React Native, Angular, Android, iOS, or Flutter project through your AI coding agent. Works with… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “is cometchat accessible”
  • “WCAG / 508 / ADA compliance”
  • “screen reader support”
  • “/cometchat-a11y”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): CometChat UI Kits (React v7 · Angular v5 · React Native v5 · iOS v5 · Android v6 · Flutter v6). Kit components are designed targeting WCAG 2.1 AA + keyboard navigation (the Angular docs state this explicitly; other families are not individually documented, and full conformance needs manual testing / a VPAT). Host wiring is per platform.

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Don't let global CSS leak into the .cometchat subtree (web) — a global outline:none, a low-contrast override, a text-align/flex reset, or…
  2. Give the chat container a real, labelled home — a sized region (a11y needs a visible, non-collapsed surface too) with an accessible name…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 911b108. 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.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands 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

Cometchat A11y loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 736 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~139
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

Ground truth: the UI Kit components are documented as designed targeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA with keyboard navigation built in (the Angular component docs state this most explicitly; note the docs' own caveat that full conformance still requires manual testing — do not assert a blanket AA/VPAT claim to the user without it). Treat AA as the design target, not a certified guarantee. Accessibility failures in a CometChat app are almost always host-side regressions — global CSS, a broken focus order, a container with no accessible name, or motion that ignores the user's preference. Verify component-level a11y claims against the component's own docs page (cometchat-<family>-components → docs-map); this skill owns the host-side discipline the kit can't control.

Use this skill when

An accessibility review (WCAG / Section 508 / ADA / EN 301 549), a screen-reader or keyboard complaint, or "make our chat accessible." Procurement for public-sector, education, healthcare and large enterprises requires this.

Start from what the kit gives you

The kit ships accessible components: keyboard-operable lists/composer, focus handling, and semantics designed targeting AA (the design target — not a certified guarantee; see above). On web it sets ARIA roles and names itself — the conversation/user rosters render as a labelled listbox and manage roving focus — so don't override or strip them. Your job is to not break it and to make the surrounding app equally accessible. Two rules first:

  1. Don't let global CSS leak into the .cometchat subtree (web) — a global outline:none, a low-contrast override, a text-align/flex reset, or a Tailwind base can strip focus rings or break contrast the kit set correctly. Scope your resets away from the kit (RULES.md → CSS isolation).
  2. Give the chat container a real, labelled home — a sized region (a11y needs a visible, non-collapsed surface too) with an accessible name (e.g. an aria-label/landmark on web, an accessibility label on native) so screen-reader users can find and enter it.

The checklist (host-side)

  • Keyboard: every path reachable and operable by keyboard — open a conversation, type, send, open thread, close. Don't trap focus; return focus sensibly when a panel/dialog closes. Don't remove focus outlines; if you restyle them, keep a visible focus indicator.
  • Screen reader: the surface and its regions have accessible names; your own buttons around the kit have labels (not icon-only with no aria-label/accessibility label). New-message announcements: verify the kit's live-region behavior on your target reader (VoiceOver/NVDA/TalkBack) and don't suppress it with aria-hidden on an ancestor.
  • Contrast: if you theme the kit (cometchat-<family>-customization), keep text/UI contrast at AA (4.5:1 text, 3:1 large text/UI). Check both light and dark themes — a brand color that passes on light can fail on dark.
  • Reduced motion: honor prefers-reduced-motion (web) / the OS "reduce motion" setting (native) in any animation you add around the chat; don't force motion the user opted out of.
  • Text scaling / zoom: the surface must remain usable at 200% zoom / large Dynamic Type — don't cap font sizes or clip at large text.
  • RTL: direction-correct for RTL locales (pairs with cometchat-i18n).
  • Targets: your custom controls meet the minimum touch-target size; don't shrink the kit's.

Calls accessibility (if you use calling)

  • Request camera/mic with clear, user-visible prompts and reasons.
  • Provide accessible labels for call controls you add (mute, end, camera).
  • Where available, surface captions/transcription; ensure incoming-call UI is announced and keyboard/AT-operable.

Test it

  • Automated (web): run axe/Lighthouse on the chat screen — fix contrast, missing names, and ARIA misuse it flags. (Automated tools catch ~a third of issues; do the manual pass too.)
  • Manual: tab through the whole flow with the mouse unplugged; drive it with VoiceOver / NVDA / TalkBack; zoom to 200%; toggle reduced motion; switch to dark. Fix what breaks in YOUR wiring; if a genuine kit-component gap appears, verify against the component docs and report it (don't hand-patch kit internals).

Common pitfalls

  1. Global CSS stripping focus rings or contrast inside .cometchat — scope resets away.
  2. Icon-only custom buttons with no label — add accessible names.
  3. Unlabelled, collapsed, or unreachable chat container — size it and name it.
  4. Animations ignoring reduced-motion.
  5. Contrast checked in one theme only — check light and dark.
  6. Assuming automated tools are enough — they miss keyboard/reader flow; test manually.

Verify it works

The chat flow is fully keyboard-operable with a visible focus indicator · a screen reader announces the surface, messages, and your controls · contrast passes AA in light and dark · the UI holds at 200% zoom / large type · reduced-motion is honored · RTL mirrors correctly · axe/Lighthouse on the chat screen is clean of contrast/name/ARIA errors.
