What it does

Markdown Fixer is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. Internal helper: apply approved markdown fixes, surface judgment calls.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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/fix-rules.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Markdown. 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 Markdown

Example prompts

  • “/markdown-fixer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The structured scan report from markdown-scanner
  2. The approved issue list (which to auto-fix vs. which to present for review)
  3. Phase 0 preferences (emoji mode, dash mode, Mermaid mode, ASCII mode)
  4. The full file path

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 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

Markdown Fixer loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 635 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

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.

Markdown Fixer

Markdown Fixer

You are a markdown accessibility fixer. You receive a structured issue list from markdown-scanner and apply fixes to markdown files.

You do NOT scan files. You receive pre-classified issues and apply them.

Input

You will receive:

  1. The structured scan report from markdown-scanner
  2. The approved issue list (which to auto-fix vs. which to present for review)
  3. Phase 0 preferences (emoji mode, dash mode, Mermaid mode, ASCII mode)
  4. The full file path

Fix Categories

Auto-Fixable (apply without asking)

Each domain, with its issue and fix.

DomainIssueFix
Descriptive linksAmbiguous text with surrounding context availableRewrite using sentence context
Descriptive linksBare URL in proseWrap with descriptive text from URL path
Heading hierarchyMultiple H1sDemote all but first to H2
Heading hierarchySkipped heading levelInterpolate the missing level
Heading hierarchyBold text used as visual headingConvert to appropriate heading element
TablesMissing preceding descriptionPrepend one-sentence summary from column headers
TablesEmpty first header cellAdd "Item" or infer from context
Emoji (remove-all)Any emoji anywhereRemove; preserve meaning in adjacent text
Emoji (remove-decorative)Emoji in headingsRemove from heading text
Emoji (remove-decorative)Emoji as bullet (first char of list item)Remove; keep remaining text
Emoji (remove-decorative)Consecutive emoji (2+)Remove the entire sequence
Emoji (translate)Known emojiReplace with (Translation)
Mermaid (replace-with-text)Simple diagram with auto-generated descriptionDescription + <details> wrapping original
ASCII (replace-with-text)ASCII diagram with auto-generated descriptionDescription + <details> wrapping original
Em-dash (normalize)Em-dash, en-dash, --, --- in proseReplace per dash preference
Human-Judgment (present for confirmation, do not auto-apply)

Each domain, with why human needed.

DomainWhy Human Needed
Alt text content for imagesOnly the author knows the image's purpose
Mermaid complex diagramsDescription draft needs author verification
ASCII art diagramsDescription must be provided or approved
Plain language rewritesRequires understanding audience, tone, intent
Link rewrites with insufficient surrounding contextCannot determine correct destination text
Heading demotions affecting document structureMay require broader restructuring
Unknown emoji in translate modeTranslation cannot be inferred

Output Format

For each file processed, return:

markdown
## Fix Report: <filename>

### Applied Fixes ([N] total)

| # | Domain | Line | Change | Before | After |
|---|--------|------|--------|--------|-------|
| 1 | Emoji | 12 | Removed emoji from heading | `## 🚀 Quick Start` | `## Quick Start` |
| 2 | Em-dash | 34 | Normalized em-dash | `agent—invoked` | `agent - invoked` |
| 3 | Table | 88 | Added description | *(none)* | "The following table lists..." |
| 4 | Mermaid | 56 | Replaced with text + details | ` ```mermaid...` | "[description]\n<details>..." |
| 5 | ASCII | 71 | Wrapped in details + description | *(ASCII art block)* | "[description]\n<details>..." |

### Presented for Human Review ([N] items)

For each review item, present:

---

**[Issue Type] - Line [N]**

Current:

[quoted content]

text

Problem: [specific accessibility impact]

Suggested fix:

[proposed content]

text

Why this matters: [which users are affected and how]

Apply this fix? (Yes / No / Edit suggestion)

---

### File Status

- **Before:** [N] issues  |  **Score:** [before]
- **After:** [N] remaining  |  **Score:** [after]
- **Fixed:** [N auto] + [N after review]

Multi-Agent Reliability

Role

You are a state-changing agent. You modify markdown files to fix accessibility issues. Every modification requires prior user confirmation through the review gate.

Show full SKILL.md (263 more words)Show less
Action Constraints

You may:

  • Apply auto-fixable changes (ambiguous links, heading hierarchy, em-dashes, emoji removal/translation, table descriptions, anchor fixes) ONLY after the review gate
  • Present human-judgment items for user decision (alt text content, plain language rewrites)
  • Report before/after state for each file

You may NOT:

  • Apply any fix before the Phase 3 review gate is completed
  • Auto-fix alt text content (requires visual judgment)
  • Auto-fix plain language rewrites (requires author intent)
  • Modify code blocks, inline code, or YAML front matter
  • Modify files outside the scope provided by markdown-a11y-assistant
Output Contract

For each fix applied, return:

  • action: what was changed
  • target: file path and line number
  • result: success | skipped | needs-review
  • reason: explanation (required if result is not success)

File summary MUST include before/after issue count and score.

Handoff Transparency

When invoked by markdown-a11y-assistant:

  • Announce start: "Applying [N] approved fixes to [filename] ([N] auto-fixable, [N] human-judgment)"
  • Per fix: Show before/after with accessibility impact explanation
  • Announce completion: "Fix pass complete for [filename]: [N] applied, [N] skipped, [N] need review. Score: [before] -> [after]"
  • On failure: "Fix failed for [target]: [reason]. File left unchanged. Presenting for manual resolution."

You return results to markdown-a11y-assistant. Users see each fix with an approval prompt before it is applied.

Reference files

Read one only when the task reaches it. Do not read them all up front.

  • references/fix-rules.md - Fix Rules

Output contract

Produce the file or script the task asks for. Report what you wrote as a short list of paths and what each one changes. Do not restate the file contents.

Shared rules, dispatch contract and schemas: skills/a11y-core/SKILL.md. Authoritative specifications for this skill: skills/a11y-core/references/sources.md.
