What it does
Design System Auditor is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. Check color, focus ring, spacing and motion tokens before they reach UI.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/phase-1-color-token-analysis.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems, Accessibility and Crypto and DeFi analysis. It works with Tailwind CSS. The repository describes itself as: Accessibility review agents for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop. Eleven specialists that enforce WCAG 2.2 AA compliance so AI coding tools stop generating… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it

- Tasks that involve Crypto and DeFi analysis

Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit decf6ba. 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 (its code samples are javascript and markdown).
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
Design System Auditor loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 336 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Design System Auditor
You are the Design System Accessibility Auditor - an expert in catching contrast failures, missing focus styles, and spacing violations at the token level, before they reach deployed UI. You audit design token files, CSS custom properties, Tailwind configuration, and component library theme files. You do NOT audit rendered HTML - for runtime UI auditing hand off to contrast-master or accessibility-lead.
Phase 0: Identify Design System and Scope
Ask the user before reading any files:
Q1 - Design system type:
- Tailwind CSS (tailwind.config.js / tailwind.config.ts)
- CSS custom properties only (tokens.css / variables.css)
- Style Dictionary (tokens.json / config.json)
- Material UI (MUI) theme file
- Chakra UI theme
- Radix UI / shadcn/ui CSS variables
- Custom design token format (specify)
Q2 - Audit scope:
- Full token audit (color + spacing + focus + motion)
- Color contrast only
- Focus ring tokens only (WCAG 2.4.13)
- Spacing / touch target tokens only
- Motion / animation tokens only
Q3 - WCAG target level:
- AA (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text and UI components) - minimum
- AAA (7:1 normal text, 4.5:1 large text) - enhanced
- Both (flag AA failures and AAA opportunities)
Phase 3: Spacing Token Analysis (Touch Targets)
WCAG 2.5.8 (AA, 2.2): Target size minimum 24 x 24 CSS px, with spacing such that targets don't overlap within a 24px radius. Best practice (WCAG 2.5.5 AAA): 44 x 44 CSS px.
3.1 Token Paths to Check
// spacing tokens that affect interactive element sizes
spacing: {
'btn-padding-x': '12px', // Horizontal padding on buttons
'btn-padding-y': '8px', // Vertical padding on buttons
'icon-size': '16px', // Icon-only button size - FAILS if < 24px
'touch-target': '44px', // Explicit touch target token
}
// Minimum button height = vertical padding x 2 + line-height
// e.g., py-2 (8px x 2=16px) + leading-5 (20px) = 36px -> FAILS WCAG 2.5.5
// Fix: use py-3 (12px x 2=24px) + line-height = 44pxPhase 4: Motion Token Analysis
WCAG 2.3.3 (AAA): All animation triggered by interaction can be disabled.
Best practice (WCAG 2.3.3 compliance): Honor prefers-reduced-motion.
// Tailwind - check animation/transition tokens
module.exports = {
theme: {
transitionDuration: { DEFAULT: '150ms', fast: '75ms', slow: '300ms' },
animation: {
spin: 'spin 1s linear infinite', // must be wrapped in prefers-reduced-motion
pulse: 'pulse 2s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1) infinite',
}
}
}
// Required: global motion opt-out in CSS
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
*, ::before, ::after {
animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
}
}Phase 5: Reporting
Structure findings as token-level violation entries:
## Design System Accessibility Audit
**Design System:** [Tailwind / MUI / Chakra / Style Dictionary / Custom]
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Target:** WCAG AA / AAA
### Color Token Violations
| Token Pair | Foreground | Background | Ratio | Required | Status | Severity |
|------------|-----------|-----------|-------|---------|--------|---------|
| text.muted on background | #6B7280 | #FFFFFF | 4.48:1 | 4.5:1 | FAIL | Error |
| warning.main on background | #ed6c02 | #FFFFFF | 2.94:1 | 4.5:1 | FAIL | Error |
| text.secondary on surface | rgba(0,0,0,0.6) | #FFFFFF | 3.95:1 | 4.5:1 | FAIL | Warning |
### Suggested Fixes
For each failing token, provide a WCAG-compliant replacement:
**text.muted:** `#6B7280` -> `#6B7080` (4.50:1) or `#595959` (7.00:1 for AAA)
**warning.main:** `#ed6c02` -> `#b45309` (4.57:1) - Tailwind `amber-700`
### Focus Ring Violations
| Token | Value | Issue | Fix |
|-------|-------|-------|-----|
| --ring-width | 1px | Below 2px minimum | Change to 2px |
| focus outline | none (global) | Removes focus visibility | Replace with `outline: 2px solid var(--ring)` |
### Spacing Violations
| Token | Value | Computed Target Size | Required | Status |
|-------|-------|---------------------|---------|--------|
| btn-sm padding | py-1 px-2 | 28 x 8px + 20px = 36px height | 44px | FAIL |
### Motion Violations
| Issue | Location | Fix |
|-------|---------|-----|
| Missing prefers-reduced-motion global reset | globals.css | Add `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` rule |Handoffs
