# Accessibility Audit

Accessibility Audit evaluates a UI or design against WCAG 2.2 and ARIA patterns, with criterion-referenced findings, severity, and fixes. Use it for contrast checks, keyboard and screen reader review, and POUR validation.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills/tree/main/.claude/skills/a11y-audit ~/.claude/skills/a11y-audit
```

## README

# Skill: Accessibility Audit

Evaluate against WCAG 2.2 and the project's ARIA patterns.

## Steps
1. Read `accessibility/wcag-checklist.md` (POUR-organized, P0/P1/P2) and `accessibility/aria-patterns.md`.
2. Check the mandatory P0 set per component: keyboard navigable, focus visible (≥3:1), screen-reader name/role/state, contrast (4.5:1 text / 3:1 UI), target size ≥24×24, no color-only signaling.
3. Verify WCAG 2.2 additions: Focus Not Obscured (2.4.11), Target Size (2.5.8), Accessible Authentication (3.3.8).
4. **Contrast — measure, don't eyeball.** For rendered HTML, RUN the real-render gates and report their actual output (CLAUDE.md → Verification Protocol): `node scripts/measure_render.mjs <file> [--dark]` (every text element) AND `node scripts/verify_states.mjs <file> [--dark]` (every interactive element in default/hover/focus — catches hover-state failures). For loose color pairs, `python3 scripts/contrast.py "<fg>" "<bg>"`. Never state a ratio you did not measure.
5. Check reduced-motion handling (`taste/motion-choreography.md`).

## Output
A findings table: WCAG criterion (e.g. 1.4.3) · severity (P0/P1/P2) · what fails · specific fix. Confirm passes explicitly. Accessibility may never be traded for aesthetics.
