Accessibility

WCAG in practice — semantics, focus management, contrast, and what automated checks cannot see.

Installation

$ npx skills add addyosmani/web-quality-skills

The CLI's unit is the repository, so this installs everything in addyosmani/web-quality-skills, not accessibility alone. It writes into whichever agent directories it finds — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Zed.

Summary

WCAG in practice — semantics, focus management, contrast, and what automated checks cannot see.

  • Reach for it when any user-facing UI. Generated markup passes axe and still cannot be operated with a keyboard.
  • Spans Implement and Operate & maintain, so it is usually worth loading for the whole piece of work rather than at one moment in it.
  • Assumes web.
  • Published by Addy Osmani. Well regarded, but not the vendor of the thing it covers.
  • Installing pulls the whole addyosmani/web-quality-skills repository: this catalogue lists 1 other entry from it, and the repo may hold more.

Where it sits in delivery

ImplementWriting the change: framework-specific conventions, and the discipline that keeps a long agent run on the rails.Everything in Build →
Operate & maintainProduction reality: debugging, performance, instrumentation, and writing down why the system is the way it is.Everything in Operate →

The skill itself

The full text lives with its publisher and changes when they change it. Read it there rather than here — a mirrored copy of somebody else's procedure goes stale silently, and this page would have no way of telling you.
