At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing component libraries, page flows, or CI pipelines that need repeatable accessibility checks.

  • Reviewing component libraries
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Check, Fix and Explain, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • CI pipelines that need repeatable accessibility checks

What it does

Accessibility Testing is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing component libraries, page flows, or CI pipelines that need repeatable accessibility checks. Automated testing is strongest at catching structural and attribute-level issues; it does not replace keyboard, screen reader, and manual UX testing.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/rule.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: 🗂 The essential checklist for modern web development, for humans and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing component libraries
  • CI pipelines that need repeatable accessibility checks

Example prompts

  • “/accessibility-testing”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • frontendchecklist.io

    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 Testing loads about 432 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~432
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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.

Include accessibility testing

Automated accessibility testing catches 30-50% of WCAG violations before code reaches users—reducing legal risk and improving usability for everyone.

Quick Reference

  • Use jest-axe for component-level accessibility testing
  • Integrate @axe-core/playwright or cypress-axe for E2E a11y tests
  • Run accessibility tests in CI/CD to catch regressions early
  • Test specific WCAG rules like color-contrast individually

Check

Review this test suite for accessibility testing coverage using axe-core, jest-axe, or similar tools.

Fix

Add automated accessibility testing to detect WCAG violations in components and pages.

Explain

Explain how to implement automated accessibility testing and what issues it can detect.

Code Review

Inspect component tests, E2E suites, and CI workflows for automated accessibility coverage. Flag critical pages or shared components that ship without axe-based checks, and note issues that still require manual keyboard or screen reader validation.
