Description
accessibility is an agent skill from the Microsoft VS Code repository, listed on skills.sh. It is the primary accessibility skill for VS Code contributors. It is required for new feature and contribution work and applies to changes to existing UI, even when accessibility is not mentioned in the request. Any new interactive surface, such as a panel, view, widget, editor overlay, dialog or rich focusable component, needs three parts unless they already exist: an accessibility help dialog opened from the help keybinding, an accessible view that presents non-trivial visual content as plain read-only text for screen reader users, and an accessibility verbosity setting that controls whether the help hint is announced. The skill is for developers working on VS Code. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows all three security audits passing.…
