Reference data, not a reviewer. An agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents.

  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations

What it does

Kb Accessibility Rules is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. Reference data, not a reviewer. Cross-format accessibility rule reference with WCAG 2.2 mapping for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF documents.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Accessibility, PowerPoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word. 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 Accessibility
  • Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations
  • Tasks that involve Excel spreadsheets

Example prompts

  • “/kb-accessibility-rules”

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.

    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

Kb Accessibility Rules loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 721 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

WCAG 2.2 Criterion Mapping

Complete tracking of all WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA success criteria. Criteria with document-specific rules list the rule IDs. Criteria requiring human judgment show "Manual review". Criteria that apply only to web/app contexts show a dash. See the wcag-guide agent for full explanations of each criterion.

Note: WCAG 2.2 removed 4.1.1 Parsing (it is "always satisfied" in modern user agents and no longer tested).
