Description
wcag-audit-patterns is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for auditing websites against the WCAG 2.2 accessibility guidelines and planning the fixes. It combines automated testing with manual verification and remediation guidance, because automated tools find only part of the problems that affect people using assistive technology. The skill's core concepts begin with the WCAG conformance levels, which set how strict a site must be to claim each level of conformance. It covers conducting accessibility audits of a site or component, fixing violations with specific remediation steps, implementing accessible components, and preparing an audit report that records what was tested and what was found. It also applies to meeting ADA and Section 508 requirements and to preparing a VPAT, the document that describes how a product meets accessibility standards. The skill notes that an audit is a snapshot, so it should be repeated after changes. It applies when auditing websites, fixing WCAG violations, building accessible components, and preparing for accessibility reviews and compliance documents. The skill is a guide for the audit work rather than legal advice, so questions about legal obligations or a lawsuit should go to counsel. Manual checks with real assistive technology should back up the automated results before any conformance claim is made. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 12.2K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
