What it does
Accessibility Generator is an agent skill from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. Generate accessibility infrastructure for VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and accessibility features. Use when improving app accessibility, adding accessibility labels and hints, or auditing compliance.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `accessibility-patterns.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility and Text to speech and voice. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for Apple platform development (iOS, macOS, iPadOS) — product validation, code generation, App Store optimization, and more. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Improving app accessibility
- Adding accessibility labels and hints
- Auditing compliance
Example prompts
- “/accessibility-generator”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, AskUserQuestion
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ffb831. 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:
ReadWriteEditGlobGrepBashAskUserQuestion
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 swift and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
developer.apple.com
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 Generator loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 459 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.
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, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, AskUserQuestion
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.

.accessibilityElement(children: .combine)Visual Accessibility: Numbers and APIs (WWDC20)
| Setting | Threshold / API | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Contrast | 4.5:1 minimum ("generally the lowest acceptable ratio"); ~7.5:1 for comfort on dark backgrounds | Check text and glyphs against their actual backgrounds |
| Differentiate Without Color | UIAccessibility.shouldDifferentiateWithoutColor | Add shapes/symbols wherever color is the only signal (red/green states) |
| Button Shapes | UIAccessibility.buttonShapesEnabled + its change notification | Show borders/underlines on plain-text buttons when on |
| Increase Contrast | System colors adapt for free; custom colors need a "High Contrast" variant in the asset catalog | Never ship a single hex for both modes |
| Dynamic Type | preferredContentSizeCategory | Never truncate — set line count to 0 so text wraps; reflow layout at accessibility sizes |
| Bold Text | UIAccessibility.isBoldTextEnabled | Free with system text styles; custom fonts must swap weights manually |
| Reduce Motion | isReduceMotionEnabled, prefersCrossFadeTransitions | Gate animations, parallax, and video autoplay; prefer cross-fades over sliding transitions |
| Smart Invert | .accessibilityIgnoresInvertColors() | Apply to photos, videos, and full-color icons so they don't invert |
| Reduce Transparency | UIAccessibility.isReduceTransparencyEnabled | Render blur/vibrancy backgrounds as opaque |
SwiftUI mirrors most of these as environment values (\.accessibilityReduceMotion above, plus \.accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor, \.legibilityWeight, \.accessibilityReduceTransparency).

Deep Patterns (accessibility-patterns.md)
The full recipes live in accessibility-patterns.md:
- Label-writing rules — context ladder, no control types, succinctness, localize (WWDC19 254)
- Custom actions doctrine — clutter/speed rationale, hide replaced buttons, widget intents (WWDC19 250, WWDC24 10073)
- Custom rotors, UIKit and SwiftUI (WWDC20 10116, WWDC21 10119)
- Data-rich rows via the More Content rotor /
AXCustomContent(WWDC21 10121) - Announcements with priorities,
.isToggle, zoom, direct touch, block-based setters (WWDC23 10036) - Custom-control technique selection: adjustable vs passthrough vs custom actions vs direct touch (WWDC26 220)
- Switch Control grouping and timeout rules (WWDC20 10019); Full Keyboard Access (WWDC21 10120)
- Reading-app text navigation, page turns,
UITextInputadoption (WWDC26 219)
Inclusive Design Principles (WWDC25)
- About 1 in 7 people has a disability — accessibility features are mainstream features.
- Provide information through multiple senses: captions for audio, audible/haptic paths for visual cues.
- Support multiple input methods — touch, keyboard, voice, switch — for every action.
- Larger Text scales text up to ~3x — layouts must reflow, not clip or overlap.
- Inclusion is iterative, not one-time — re-audit each release, not just before launch.
