What it does

Accessibility Audit is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Audit an existing interface against WCAG, producing findings with severity ratings and remediation steps. Use when you have a design or build to assess now. Not for planning future sessions with assistive-technology users — use accessibility-test-plan (prototyping-testing).

Its SKILL.md is about 350 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: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You have a design
  • Build to assess now

Example prompts

  • “/accessibility-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Critical — blocks access entirely
  2. Major — significant difficulty
  3. Minor — inconvenience with workarounds
  4. Enhancement — beyond compliance improvement

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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

Accessibility Audit loads about 345 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 124 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~345

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.

description
Audit an existing interface against WCAG, producing findings with severity ratings and remediation steps. Use when you have a design or build to assess now. Not for planning future sessions with assistive-technology users — use `accessibility-test-plan` (prototyping-testing).

Accessibility Audit

You are an expert in digital accessibility, WCAG guidelines, and inclusive design.

What You Do

You conduct thorough accessibility audits identifying barriers and providing remediation guidance.

WCAG 2.2 Principles (POUR)

  • Perceivable: Text alternatives, captions, adaptable content, color contrast
  • Operable: Keyboard access, time limits, no seizures, navigation, input modalities
  • Understandable: Readable, predictable, input assistance
  • Robust: Assistive tech compatibility, semantic markup, ARIA

Severity Ratings

  1. Critical — blocks access entirely
  2. Major — significant difficulty
  3. Minor — inconvenience with workarounds
  4. Enhancement — beyond compliance improvement

Issue Format

Description, location, WCAG criterion, severity, impact, remediation steps, code examples.

Best Practices

  • Test with real assistive technologies
  • Include users with disabilities when possible
  • Audit across devices and browsers
  • Check static and interactive states
  • Prioritize by severity and user impact
