At a glance

A skill your agent uses when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Make videos accessible with captions.

  • Reviewing templates
  • 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
  • Shared components related to Make videos accessible with captions

What it does

Video Accessibility is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Make videos accessible with captions. Validate the final browser-facing markup, not just the source framework abstraction.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 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 and Transcription. 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 templates
  • Shared components related to Make videos accessible with captions

Example prompts

  • “/video-accessibility”

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

Video Accessibility loads about 490 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~490
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.8k

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.

Make videos accessible with captions

Videos without captions exclude deaf and hard-of-hearing users, while videos without audio descriptions exclude blind users from understanding visual content.

Quick Reference

  • Always provide accurate closed captions (not auto-generated)
  • Include audio descriptions for visual content
  • Provide text transcripts as an alternative
  • Never autoplay videos with sound

Check

Verify videos have accurate closed captions (not auto-generated), audio descriptions for visual content, transcripts, keyboard-accessible pause controls, and no autoplay. Confirm spacebar pauses video without scrolling the page.

Fix

Add track elements for captions and audio descriptions, provide text transcripts, implement global pause controls, disable autoplay, and ensure media controls are keyboard accessible with proper focus management.

Explain

Explain how captions help deaf and hard-of-hearing users, audio descriptions help blind users understand visual content, and pause controls help users with cognitive disabilities who find autoplay disorienting.

Code Review

Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Make videos accessible with captions. Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule.


For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see references/rule.md.
