Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Avoid autoplaying media. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.
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
# Avoid autoplaying media Autoplaying audio drowns out screen reader speech, startles users, and wastes bandwidth—providing user control is essential for accessibility and good UX. ## Quick Reference - Never autoplay audio—it interferes with screen readers - If video must autoplay, ensure it's muted by default - Provide immediately accessible pause/stop controls - Autoplay should stop after 5 seconds or provide stop mechanism ## Check Verify no audio or video autoplays on page load. If autoplay is essential, confirm media is muted by default and pause controls are immediately accessible via keyboard within the first few tab stops. ## Fix Remove autoplay attributes from media elements. If autoplay is required, add muted attribute and provide prominent, keyboard-accessible pause controls. Consider adding a global pause button for pages with multiple media elements. ## Explain Explain how autoplaying media interferes with screen readers, startles users with cognitive disabilities, and creates barriers for users in quiet environments or with limited bandwidth. ## Code Review …

How to install
mdr add thedaviddias/front-end-checklist/autoplay-media@sha256:eeb32f1b1f602159The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260529.7c05904, 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.
