What it does

Accessibility Audit is an agent skill from AccessLint/skills. Whole site or product — a full web accessibility (a11y) audit against WCAG 2.2, following the WCAG-EM methodology. Defines scope, samples representative pages and flows, runs the automated tier (accessibility-scan) and the hands-on manual tier (accessibility-inspect), and produces one conformance report. Grades each finding by severity and evidence basis, and states per-criterion conformance as pass, fail, or undetermined (needs a human). Use it for 'audit my site for accessibility', 'is this product accessible'…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Audit my site for accessibility
  • Is this product accessible
  • Section 508 conformance report
  • Any multi-page assessment

Example prompts

  • “audit my site for accessibility”
  • “is this product accessible”
  • “a11y audit”
  • “/accessibility-audit”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, Skill, Task, mcp__plugin_accesslint_accesslint__list_rules, mcp__plugin_accesslint_accesslint__explain_rule

Workflow steps

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

  1. Scope. State the target and its boundary, the goal (default WCAG 2.2 AA; --level AAA adds AAA), the technologies in use, and the…
  2. Explore. Use Glob/Grep to find routes, templates, and shared components. Note key flows, content types, and stateful UI (modals, wizards…
  3. Sample. Choose a structured set (entry page, each key flow end to end, every page with a new template or complex widget, and the important…
  4. Evaluate. Delegate each sampled page or state to its own Task so it runs in its own context and returns its findings; independent pages…
  5. Report. Aggregate into the format below. Conformance has three states: pass or fail only for ● findings; everything ◐ or ○ — and every SC…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e9d733. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash
    • Skill
    • Task
    • mcp__plugin_accesslint_accesslint__list_rules
    • mcp__plugin_accesslint_accesslint__explain_rule

    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

Accessibility Audit loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 208 tokens; SKILL.md has 692 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~208
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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, Skill, Task, mcp__plugin_accesslint_accesslint__list_rules, mcp__plugin_acce

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 692 words (~1,814 tokens).

“This is a full WCAG 2.2 accessibility audit using WCAG-EM. It defines scope, samples representative pages and flows, runs both evaluation tiers, and produces one conformance report:”
