Use ARIA correctly by preferring native HTML, applying roles/states/properties only where needed, and following known widget patterns. Use when making custom components accessible or fixing broken ARIA.
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
# ARIA usage ARIA adds accessibility semantics where HTML falls short, and its first rule is a warning: do not use ARIA if a native element does the job. Most broken ARIA comes from adding it where it was not needed or adding roles without the keyboard behavior and state management they require. Native first, ARIA carefully. ## Method 1. **Prefer native HTML elements (the first rule of ARIA).** A `<button>` is accessible for free: focusable, keyboard-operable, announced as a button. A `<div role="button">` requires you to add tabindex, keyboard handlers, and states manually, and you will miss some. Use `<button>`, `<a>`, `<input>`, `<select>`, `<nav>`, `<main>` before reaching for ARIA: native semantics beat reimplemented ones every time. 2. **Understand roles, states, and properties.** Role (what it is: `role="tab"`), states (current condition, dynamic: `aria-selected="true"`, `aria-expanded="false"`), properties (characteristics, mostly static: `aria-label`, `aria-controls`). A role sets expectations the rest of the ARIA and the keyboard behavior must fulfill; `role="tab"` promises tab behavior you must then deliver. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/aria-usage@sha256:ea5c003bd0cd742eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, 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.
