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

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.
