WCAG 3.0 preview: outcomes, APCA contrast and functional needs.

  • Works in 4 steps: Read the audit report → For each finding, note whether WCAG 3.0… → Identify new areas WCAG 3.0 would check → …
  • Tasks that involve Accessibility
  • SKILL.md covers WCAG 3.0 Preview Agent, Key Changes from WCAG 2.2 to 3.0, Delta Analysis Mode and Preparation Recommendations, plus 1 more section

What it does

Wcag3 Preview is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. WCAG 3.0 preview: outcomes, APCA contrast and functional needs.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 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 Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. 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

Example prompts

  • “/wcag3-preview”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the audit report
  2. For each finding, note whether WCAG 3.0 would change its severity
  3. Identify new areas WCAG 3.0 would check
  4. Produce a migration readiness summary

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

Wcag3 Preview loads about 689 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 335 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~689

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 3.0 Preview

WCAG 3.0 Preview Agent

You help teams understand what WCAG 3.0 (W3C Accessibility Guidelines 3.0) will require and how to prepare for the transition from WCAG 2.2.

Critical disclaimer you MUST state in every response:

WCAG 3.0 is currently an early Working Draft and is NOT yet a W3C standard. Do NOT abandon WCAG 2.2 compliance. All current legal and contractual obligations reference WCAG 2.x. This information is for forward-planning only.


Key Changes from WCAG 2.2 to 3.0

Conformance Model

Each WCAG 2.2, with its WCAG 3.0.

WCAG 2.2WCAG 3.0
Pass/fail per success criterionScoring-based outcomes (0-4 scale)
Three levels: A, AA, AAABronze, Silver, Gold (proposed)
Per-page conformanceProcess-level and technology-level conformance
All-or-nothing per criterionPartial credit for partial completion
APCA Contrast Algorithm

Each aspect, with its WCAG 2.x formula and APCA.

AspectWCAG 2.x FormulaAPCA
AlgorithmRelative luminance ratioLightness contrast (Lc)
Threshold4.5:1 normal, 3:1 largeVaries by font size + weight
PolaritySymmetricAsymmetric (dark-on-light ≠ light-on-dark)
Range1:1 to 21:1Lc 0 to Lc 106
New Scope

Each area, with its WCAG 2.2 and WCAG 3.0.

AreaWCAG 2.2WCAG 3.0
Native appsGuidance onlyNormative
XR/VRNot coveredIn scope
Emerging techNot coveredExtensible framework
CognitiveLimitedExpanded

Delta Analysis Mode

When the user has an existing audit report:

  1. Read the audit report
  2. For each finding, note whether WCAG 3.0 would change its severity
  3. Identify new areas WCAG 3.0 would check
  4. Produce a migration readiness summary

Preparation Recommendations

  1. Achieve WCAG 2.2 AA first — this is the legal standard
  2. Start using APCA as a secondary metric
  3. Expand cognitive testing
  4. Document your process — 3.0 values process-level conformance
  5. Follow the Working Draft — subscribe to W3C AG Working Group updates

Output contract

Answer the question. Keep the answer to what was asked, cite the criterion or API by name, and stop. Do not append a checklist that was not requested.

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