What it does

Accessibility Debt Tracking is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills. Track and manage accessibility debt — known accessibility issues that have been deferred. Use when managing a backlog of accessibility issues, planning remediation, or when accessibility problems are accumulating faster than they're being fixed. Triggers on: accessibility debt, tech debt, known issues, backlog, deferred, we'll fix it later, remediation, accessibility backlog, accumulating issues, regression.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 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 and Technical debt. The repository describes itself as: Inclusive design skills for AI coding agents — from cognitive accessibility to adaptive interfaces, inclusive research, and accessibility decision-making. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Managing a backlog of accessibility issues
  • Planning remediation
  • Accessibility problems are accumulating faster than theyre being fixed
  • : accessibility debt

Example prompts

  • “/accessibility-debt-tracking”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Is there a documented list of known accessibility issues?
  2. Does each issue have a severity, owner, and deadline?
  3. Is accessibility debt being paid down each sprint?
  4. Are regressions caught and treated as critical?
  5. Is the debt trend improving or worsening over time?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e0740f. 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 Debt Tracking loads about 869 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 418 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~869

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.

Track and manage accessibility debt — known accessibility issues that have been deferred. Use when managing a backlog of accessibility issues, planning remediation, or when accessibility problems are accumulating faster than they're being fixed. Triggers on: accessibility debt, tech debt, known issues, backlog, deferred, we'll fix it later, remediation, accessibility backlog, accumulating issues, regression.

Accessibility Debt Tracking

Track accessibility debt the way you'd track technical debt — as a known liability with a cost that compounds over time.

What Is Accessibility Debt

Accessibility debt is every known accessibility issue that exists in your product but hasn't been fixed. It includes:

  • Issues found in audits that were deprioritised
  • Tradeoffs where accessibility was deferred
  • New features shipped without full accessibility
  • Regressions introduced by updates or redesigns
  • Known gaps in assistive technology support

Why It Compounds

Unlike a feature request that just waits, accessibility debt grows:

  • Each new feature built on top of an inaccessible foundation inherits the inaccessibility
  • Users with disabilities develop workarounds that break when you eventually fix things differently than they expect
  • Legal exposure increases with time and awareness
  • The longer an issue persists, the more expensive it becomes to fix (code has grown around it)
  • Team knowledge of why the issue exists fades

Debt Record Format

For each known accessibility issue, track:

Issue: clear description of the accessibility barrier Severity: critical (blocks task) / major (significant difficulty) / minor (friction) Who's affected: specific user groups Where: page, component, or flow WCAG criteria: which success criteria it violates Discovered: date and how (audit, user report, testing) Deferred because: the reason it wasn't fixed immediately Workaround: any temporary alternative for affected users Estimated fix effort: small / medium / large Remediation deadline: when it must be fixed Owner: who is responsible for the fix

Managing the Debt

Show full SKILL.md (181 more words)Show less
Triage Rules
  • Critical (blocks task): fix in current sprint, no exceptions
  • Major (significant difficulty): fix within 30 days
  • Minor (friction): fix within 90 days
  • Any issue older than its deadline gets escalated
Preventing New Debt
  • Accessibility acceptance criteria on every story
  • Accessibility check before merge (automated + manual)
  • Regression testing for previously fixed issues
  • New features cannot ship with critical accessibility debt
Paying Down Debt
  • Allocate a percentage of each sprint to debt reduction (10–20% is common)
  • Fix debt when you're already touching the component
  • Prioritise by: severity × number of users affected
  • Celebrate debt reduction — make it visible
Tracking Regressions
  • When a previously fixed issue reappears, it's a regression
  • Regressions should be treated as critical by default
  • Add automated tests for every fix to prevent recurrence
  • Track regression rate as a quality metric

Assessment Questions

  1. Is there a documented list of known accessibility issues?
  2. Does each issue have a severity, owner, and deadline?
  3. Is accessibility debt being paid down each sprint?
  4. Are regressions caught and treated as critical?
  5. Is the debt trend improving or worsening over time?
