WCAG 2.1/2.2 accessibility verification checklist and automated audit methodology skill.

  • Works in 4 steps: Perceivable → Operable → Understandable → …
  • Requests like verify accessibility
  • SKILL.md covers Target Agents, WCAG 2.1 AA Mandatory Criteria…, Contrast Ratio Calculation… and Per-Component ARIA Patterns, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Wcag Checker is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. WCAG 2.1/2.2 accessibility verification checklist and automated audit methodology skill. Use for requests like 'verify accessibility', 'WCAG check', 'check contrast ratio', 'ARIA audit', 'keyboard accessibility', 'screen reader test', etc. Note: running actual assistive technology (JAWS/NVDA), legal consultation, and accessibility certification issuance are outside the scope of this skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests like verify accessibility
  • Check contrast ratio
  • Keyboard accessibility
  • Screen reader test

Example prompts

  • “verify accessibility”
  • “WCAG check”
  • “check contrast ratio”
  • “/wcag-checker”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Perceivable
  2. Operable
  3. Understandable
  4. Robust

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. 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 (its code samples are html and markdown).

    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

Wcag Checker loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Contrast Ratio Calculation Formula

Relative Luminance
L = 0.2126 * R_lin + 0.7152 * G_lin + 0.0722 * B_lin

Where:
- Normalize sRGB to 0-1 (e.g., #FF -> 1.0)
- C_lin = C_srgb <= 0.04045 ? C_srgb/12.92 : ((C_srgb+0.055)/1.055)^2.4
Contrast Ratio Formula
CR = (L_lighter + 0.05) / (L_darker + 0.05)

AA criteria:
- Normal text (< 18pt or < 14pt bold): CR >= 4.5
- Large text (>= 18pt or >= 14pt bold): CR >= 3.0
- UI components/graphics: CR >= 3.0

AAA criteria:
- Normal text: CR >= 7.0
- Large text: CR >= 4.5
Auto-Adjustment When Contrast Not Met
1. Calculate contrast ratio of current foreground and background
2. If CR < target:
   a. Adjust L only in HSL color space to preserve hue
   b. Back-calculate L_target: (L_fg + 0.05) / target_CR - 0.05
3. Report both pre- and post-adjustment colors
