Builds the full manual-accessibility artifact surface: step-by-step screen-reader test scripts for NVDA (Windows), JAWS (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS / iOS), or TalkBack (Android) with per-step keystroke + expected announcement; per-archetype WCAG 2.2 checklists (references/wcag-checklist.md); per-widget keystroke matrices pairing expected NVDA and VoiceOver announcements with the WCAG SC each row verifies (references/widget-matrix.md); and a guided NVDA / VoiceOver session protocol that merges…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# screen-reader-test-author

## Overview

Automated tools (axe-core, pa11y, Lighthouse) catch ~30-40% of
accessibility issues - the structural ones. The remaining 60-70%
require **manual screen-reader testing** by an actual human using
NVDA / JAWS / VoiceOver / TalkBack. The team needs a repeatable
script that any tester (not just the original author) can follow.

This skill takes a user flow and produces that script: per-step
keystroke + expected announcement. Two sibling artifact shapes live in
references/: a per-archetype WCAG 2.2 checklist generator for
spec-review-time acceptance criteria
([references/wcag-checklist.md](references/wcag-checklist.md)) and
per-widget keystroke matrices for hand-run NVDA / VoiceOver passes
([references/widget-matrix.md](references/widget-matrix.md)). The
"Running the session" section below turns script + checklist into a
guided, signed session.

## When to use

- A high-stakes feature ships and needs accessibility sign-off.
- Automated a11y tools are green but the team wants confidence
  the actual screen-reader experience is good.
- Onboarding a new accessibility tester - they need a script to
  follow until they internalize the conventions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add testland/qa/screen-reader-test-author@sha256:6645f5ee1c0744cd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.84b37f4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
