What it does

Wcag Audit Patterns is an agent skill from vmDeshpande/ai-agent-automation. Conduct WCAG 2.2 accessibility audits with automated testing, manual verification, and remediation guidance. Use when auditing websites for accessibility, fixing WCAG violations, or implementing accessible design patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/details.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. It works with Next.js, React and Node.js. The repository describes itself as: Modular AI agent workflow automation platform with schedulers, tools, and observability. https://vmdeshpande.github.io/ai-automation-platform-website/. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Auditing websites for accessibility
  • Fixing WCAG violations
  • Implementing accessible design patterns

Example prompts

  • “/wcag-audit-patterns”

Workflow steps

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

  1. WCAG Conformance Levels
  2. POUR Principles
  3. Common Violations by Impact

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 86b6072. 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

    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 Audit Patterns loads about 610 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 174 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~610
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

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.

WCAG Audit Patterns

Comprehensive guide to auditing web content against WCAG 2.2 guidelines with actionable remediation strategies.

When to Use This Skill

  • Conducting accessibility audits
  • Fixing WCAG violations
  • Implementing accessible components
  • Preparing for accessibility lawsuits
  • Meeting ADA/Section 508 requirements
  • Achieving VPAT compliance

Core Concepts

1. WCAG Conformance Levels
LevelDescriptionRequired For
AMinimum accessibilityLegal baseline
AAStandard conformanceMost regulations
AAAEnhanced accessibilitySpecialized needs
2. POUR Principles
Perceivable:  Can users perceive the content?
Operable:     Can users operate the interface?
Understandable: Can users understand the content?
Robust:       Does it work with assistive tech?
3. Common Violations by Impact
Critical (Blockers):
├── Missing alt text for functional images
├── No keyboard access to interactive elements
├── Missing form labels
└── Auto-playing media without controls

Serious:
├── Insufficient color contrast
├── Missing skip links
├── Inaccessible custom widgets
└── Missing page titles

Moderate:
├── Missing language attribute
├── Unclear link text
├── Missing landmarks
└── Improper heading hierarchy

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

Do's
  • Start early - Accessibility from design phase
  • Test with real users - Disabled users provide best feedback
  • Automate what you can - 30-50% issues detectable
  • Use semantic HTML - Reduces ARIA needs
  • Document patterns - Build accessible component library
Don'ts
  • Don't rely only on automated testing - Manual testing required
  • Don't use ARIA as first solution - Native HTML first
  • Don't hide focus outlines - Keyboard users need them
  • Don't disable zoom - Users need to resize
  • Don't use color alone - Multiple indicators needed
