Use when you have an existing component, flow, or interface and need an evidence-backed accessibility design review after basic checks pass. Best for WCAG 2.2 compliance, focus management, ARIA pattern quality, semantics, and state communication gaps automated tools miss.
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
# Accessibility Design Critic Thorough, evidence-driven review of accessibility design decisions in code. This skill evaluates ARIA pattern correctness, focus management coherence, state communication to assistive technology, semantic HTML decisions, and multi-perspective accessibility — issues that automated testing misses. **Use this at TWO points in the lifecycle:** 1. **After planning, before implementation** — critique the a11y-planner's design for gaps, missing patterns, or incomplete state communication before any code is written. Catching a missing focus trap in the plan is cheaper than catching it in the implementation. 2. **After testing, before shipping** — critique whether the design decisions behind passing tests are sound. Tests pass; now verify the design is coherent. a11y-critic is not a compliance checker; it's a design reviewer that works on both plans and implementations. ## JTBD (Jobs To Be Done) ### Primary Job When automated accessibility checks pass but I am not confident real screen reader users and keyboard-only users will navigate the component without hitting invisible barriers, …

How to install
mdr add zivtech/accessibility-skills/a11y-critic@sha256:f29c7afe4d62242eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
