What it does

Kb Testing Strategy is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. Reference data, not a reviewer. Accessibility testing decision trees, browser/AT compatibility matrices, manual vs. automated test coverage, regression testing patterns, and acceptance criteria templates for user stories.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Testing & QA, covering Accessibility, User stories and QA and bug reports. 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 User stories
  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports

Example prompts

  • “/kb-testing-strategy”

Workflow steps

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

  1. axe-core scan: Run on every PR. Fail on new critical/serious violations.
  2. Baseline management: Store known issues in .a11y-baseline.json. Only fail on new issues.
  3. Lighthouse score threshold: Set minimum accessibility score (e.g., 90). Fail on regression.
  4. Visual regression: Capture screenshots at 200% zoom. Compare for focus indicator and layout changes.

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 Testing Strategy loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Testing Strategy Skill

Decision frameworks for accessibility testing — when to use automated tools vs. manual testing, which screen reader + browser combinations to test, and how to write accessibility acceptance criteria.


Automated vs. Manual Testing Coverage

Each row, with what automated tools catch (~30-40%) and what requires manual testing (~60-70%).

What Automated Tools Catch (~30-40%)What Requires Manual Testing (~60-70%)

Regression Testing Patterns

CI Pipeline Accessibility Gates
  1. axe-core scan: Run on every PR. Fail on new critical/serious violations.
  2. Baseline management: Store known issues in .a11y-baseline.json. Only fail on new issues.
  3. Lighthouse score threshold: Set minimum accessibility score (e.g., 90). Fail on regression.
  4. Visual regression: Capture screenshots at 200% zoom. Compare for focus indicator and layout changes.

Preventing Regressions
  • Add accessibility assertions to existing component tests (see testing-accessibility.instructions.md)
  • Include keyboard navigation in E2E test suites
  • Track accessibility score trends over time (not just pass/fail)

Acceptance Criteria Template

For User Stories
text
Given [context],
When [action by keyboard/mouse/screen reader],
Then [accessible outcome]:

- [ ] Component has an accessible name (via label, aria-label, or aria-labelledby)
- [ ] Component has the correct ARIA role
- [ ] Component is reachable and operable by keyboard (Tab, Enter, Space, Escape, Arrows as appropriate)
- [ ] Focus is visible when the component receives focus
- [ ] State changes are announced to screen readers (aria-expanded, aria-selected, aria-checked, etc.)
- [ ] Error messages are associated with their inputs (aria-describedby or aria-errormessage)
- [ ] Content is readable at 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling
- [ ] Color is not the only means of conveying information
