What it does

A11y Audit is an agent skill from josstei/maestro-orchestrate. Run a Maestro-style accessibility audit for WCAG compliance, ARIA usage, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: Multi-agent orchestration platform for Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Codex, and Qwen Code — 39 specialists, parallel subagents, persistent sessions, and built-in code review…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/a11y-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define the accessibility audit scope and target conformance level (A, AA, AAA)
  2. Identify UI components, pages, and interactive elements
  3. Audit WCAG compliance: ARIA usage, keyboard navigation, focus management, color contrast, screen reader compatibility
  4. Present findings with WCAG criterion reference, severity, user impact, location, and remediation code patterns
  5. Note any manual verification gaps if the environment cannot exercise the UI directly

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f5d434. 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

A11y Audit loads about 245 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~245

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.
