a11y-allyA skill your agent uses when running comprehensive WCAG accessibility audits with axe-core + pa11y + Lighthouse, generating context-aware remediation, or testing video accessibility.
A11y Ally is an agent skill from proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe. Use when running comprehensive WCAG accessibility audits with axe-core + pa11y + Lighthouse, generating context-aware remediation, or testing video accessibility. Supports 3-tier browser cascade with graceful degradation.
Its SKILL.md is about 13k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `evals/a11y-ally.yaml`, `schemas/output.json` and `scripts/validate-config.json`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: Agentic QE Fleet is an open-source AI-powered QA/QE platform designed for use with Coding Agents (works best with Claude Code) featuring specialized agents and skills to support… The licence is MIT.
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 829d030. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodelighthousecurlffmpegFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
cdnjs.cloudflare.comyoutube.comnvaccess.orgfreedomscientific.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
A11y Ally loads about 13k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,964 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
The full file from proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe at commit 829d030, republished under its MIT licence (© proffesor-for-testing). 1,964 words, ~13,246 tokens.
.claude/skills/a11y-ally/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 3 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.<default_to_action> When this skill is invoked with a URL, Claude executes ALL steps automatically without waiting for user prompts between steps.
The value of this skill is Claude's intelligence, not just running automated tools:
| Automated Tools Do | Claude (This Skill) Does |
|---|---|
| Flag "button has no name" | Analyze context: icon class, parent element, nearby text → generate "Add to wishlist" |
| Flag "image missing alt" | Use Vision to see the image → describe actual content |
| Flag "video has no captions" | Download video, extract frames, analyze each frame with Vision → generate real captions |
| Output generic templates | Generate context-specific, copy-paste ready fixes |
IF YOU SKIP THE LLM ANALYSIS, THIS SKILL HAS NO VALUE.
CLAUDE EXECUTES ALL STEPS WITHOUT STOPPING.
Do NOT wait for user prompts between steps. Execute the full pipeline:
docs/accessibility-scans/{page-slug}/WRONG:
Claude: "I found 5 violations. Should I analyze them?"
User: "Yes"
Claude: "I see a video. Should I run the video pipeline?"
User: "Yes"RIGHT:
Claude: [Runs scan] → [Analyzes violations] → [Downloads video] → [Extracts frames] →
[Reads each frame with Vision] → [Generates captions] → [Writes all files]
"Audit complete. Generated 4 files in docs/accessibility-scans/example/"Uses the qe-browser fleet skill as the browser engine. qe-browser wraps Vibium (WebDriver BiDi, 10MB Go binary) and provides the QE primitives we rely on. See .claude/skills/qe-browser/SKILL.md.

Combined detection rate is ~15% higher than any single tool.
Key improvements over v6.0:
| Feature | v6.0 (Old) | v7.0 (New) |
|---|---|---|
| Tool execution | Sequential | Parallel (Promise.allSettled) |
| Timeout handling | Global 60s | Per-tool (60s/60s/90s) |
| Failure mode | All-or-nothing | Graceful degradation |
| Retry logic | None | Exponential backoff (3 retries) |
| Output style | Wait for all | Progressive (stream as ready) |
| Minimum tools | 3 required | 1 of 3 sufficient |

| Low color contrast | Low-vision, color blind | 8-12% |

| Missing captions | Deaf, hard-of-hearing | 5-7% |
| Flashing content | Seizure sensitive | 0.5-1% |
| Complex language | Cognitive impairment | 10-15% |
BLOCKS-USAGE: User cannot complete task at all
- Missing form labels on required fields
- Keyboard traps
- Critical buttons without accessible names
IMPAIRS-USAGE: User can complete task with difficulty
- Low contrast (can read with effort)
- Missing skip links (tedious navigation)
- Incorrect heading structure (confusing)
MINOR-INCONVENIENCE: Suboptimal but functional
- Empty alt on decorative images
- Redundant ARIA
- Non-semantic HTML that worksCalculate priority for each remediation:
PRIORITY_SCORE = (IMPACT_WEIGHT × USERS_AFFECTED) / EFFORT_HOURS
Where:
- IMPACT_WEIGHT: Critical=10, Serious=7, Moderate=4, Minor=1
- USERS_AFFECTED: Estimated % of users impacted
- EFFORT_HOURS: Estimated fix time (0.25 to 8 hours)| Fix Type | Effort | Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| Add aria-label | 0.25h | Trivial |

fiIF VIDEO DOWNLOAD FAILS:
USE THE READ TOOL ON EACH FRAME IMAGE.
Claude Code has native vision capabilities. When you Read an image file, you SEE it.
Read /tmp/a11y-work/frames/frame_01.jpg
Read /tmp/a11y-work/frames/frame_02.jpg
Read /tmp/a11y-work/frames/frame_03.jpg
... (continue for all frames)For EACH frame, describe:
Example output after reading frame_01.jpg:
Frame 1 (0:00-0:03): A woman in white Adidas sneakers running on a forest trail.
Morning light filters through trees. She wears black athletic leggings and a
gray tank top. The Adidas three-stripe logo is visible on her shoes.THIS IS THE LLM VALUE. Generic tools output "[DESCRIBE CONTENT]". You output actual descriptions because you can SEE the image.
FALLBACK: If Read tool fails on images
Try Anthropic API directly:
const Anthropic = require('@anthropic-ai/sdk');
const fs = require('fs');
const client = new Anthropic();
const imageData = fs.readFileSync('/tmp/a11y-work/frames/frame_01.jpg').toString('base64');
const response = await client.messages.create({
model: 'claude-sonnet-5',
max_tokens: 500,
messages: [{
role: 'user',
content: [
{ type: 'image', source: { type: 'base64', media_type: 'image/jpeg', data: imageData } },

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/a11y-ally, .gemini/skills/a11y-ally, .github/skills/a11y-ally and .opencode/skills/a11y-ally in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, A11y Ally needs the command-line tools its instructions call (node, lighthouse, curl and ffmpeg).
SKILL.md names 4 domains. In commands or code: cdnjs.cloudflare.com, youtube.com, nvaccess.org and freedomscientific.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
A11y Ally is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 13k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 53k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
