AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a structured approach to building inclusive digital experiences. It covers WCAG 2.2 compliance, ARIA patterns, keyboard navigation, and mobile accessibility. It emphasizes semantic HTML, proper focus management, and assistive technology support to ensure applications are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.

What it does

  • Provides patterns for WCAG 2.2 compliant UI components like buttons, modals, and tabs.
  • Explains the correct usage of ARIA roles, states, and properties.
  • Outlines requirements for keyboard navigation and focus management.
  • Details mobile accessibility standards including touch target sizing and gesture support.
  • Offers a checklist for WCAG 2.2 success criteria.
  • Suggests manual and automated testing tools for accessibility audits.

When to use it

  • When designing or developing new web components that require accessibility compliance.
  • When auditing an existing application for WCAG 2.2 violations.
  • When implementing complex interactive widgets like accordions or dialogs.
  • When optimizing interfaces for screen readers and keyboard-only users.

Advantages

  • Promotes inclusive design by prioritizing semantic HTML.
  • Reduces common accessibility pitfalls like keyboard traps and missing labels.
  • Provides ready-to-use code patterns for accessible UI elements.
  • Ensures compliance with modern accessibility standards.

Usage examples

“How do I create an accessible modal dialog?”
The skill provides a pattern using focus trapping, Escape key handling, and proper ARIA labeling to ensure the modal is fully accessible to screen readers and keyboard users.
“What are the requirements for mobile touch targets?”
The skill specifies a minimum touch target size of 44x44dp to ensure ease of interaction for all users on mobile devices.

Documentation by Seth Hobson

Accessibility Compliance

Master accessibility implementation to create inclusive experiences that work for everyone, including users with disabilities.

When to Use This Skill

  • Implementing WCAG 2.2 Level AA or AAA compliance

  • Building screen reader accessible interfaces

  • Adding keyboard navigation to interactive components

  • Implementing focus management and focus trapping

  • Creating accessible forms with proper labeling

  • Supporting reduced motion and high contrast preferences

  • Building mobile accessibility features (iOS VoiceOver, Android TalkBack)

  • Conducting accessibility audits and fixing violations

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

  1. Use Semantic HTML: Prefer native elements over ARIA when possible

  2. Test with Real Users: Include people with disabilities in user testing

  3. Keyboard First: Design interactions to work without a mouse

  4. Don't Disable Focus Styles: Style them, don't remove them

  5. Provide Text Alternatives: All non-text content needs descriptions

  6. Support Zoom: Content should work at 200% zoom

  7. Announce Changes: Use live regions for dynamic content

  8. Respect Preferences: Honor prefers-reduced-motion and prefers-contrast

Common Issues

  • Missing alt text: Images without descriptions

  • Poor color contrast: Text hard to read against background

  • Keyboard traps: Focus stuck in component

  • Missing labels: Form inputs without associated labels

  • Auto-playing media: Content that plays without user initiation

  • Inaccessible custom controls: Recreating native functionality poorly

  • Missing skip links: No way to bypass repetitive content

  • Focus order issues: Tab order doesn't match visual order

Testing Tools

  • Automated: axe DevTools, WAVE, Lighthouse

  • Manual: VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), NVDA/JAWS (Windows), TalkBack (Android)

  • Simulators: NoCoffee (vision), Silktide (various disabilities)
