Test for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance with axe-core + Playwright, keyboard navigation audits, screen reader testing, ARIA pattern validation, and legal compliance mapping (ADA, EAA, Section 508). Automated tools catch 30-40% of issues — this skill covers automated and manual testing together. Use when: "accessibility," "a11y," "WCAG," "screen reader," "axe," "keyboard navigation," "ARIA," "ADA compliance." Not for: cookie-consent/GDPR compliance — use compliance-testing; pixel-diff visual regression…

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

<objective>
Make an application usable by people who rely on keyboards and assistive technology, and prove
it with tests that run in CI. A button that passes `toBeVisible()` can still be unreachable by
keyboard; a page with zero axe violations can still be impossible to operate with a screen
reader. Automated tools catch 30-40% of accessibility issues — this skill covers the automated
scan plus the keyboard, screen reader, and ARIA-state testing that catch the other 60-70%.
</objective>

## Discovery Questions

Check `.agents/qa-project-context.md` first — if it exists, use it as the foundation and skip
anything already answered.

**Requirements and compliance** (sets the target level and audit obligations)
- What WCAG conformance level is required — A, AA, or AAA? AA is the practical legal default.
- What laws apply — ADA, EAA/EN 301 549, Section 508, AODA? Each maps to a WCAG level.
- Is there a VPAT or accessibility statement to maintain, or contractual a11y clauses from enterprise/government customers?

**Current state** (tells you whether you're auditing or preventing regressions)
- Has an audit run before? What were the findings, and what's already in the backlog?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add petrkindlmann/qa-skills/accessibility-testing@sha256:4da95eea10678d6a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, 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.
