Build interactive frontend components — forms, modals, navigation, custom widgets — so they are operable and perceivable by construction, not patched afterward with ARIA. Use whenever writing or reviewing a component with keyboard interaction, focus behavior, or non-text content. Trigger on "accessible", "a11y", "keyboard nav", "screen reader", "focus trap", "aria-*", "custom dropdown/modal/tabs", "tap target", or a component built from a bare `<div>`/`<span>` instead of a native interactive…

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

# Frontend Accessibility By Construction

Accessibility retrofitted after a component ships is ARIA-as-plaster: attributes
bolted onto a `<div>` that was never operable to begin with. This skill is about
the order of operations — semantic structure and keyboard operability are
decided *before* a line of markup is written, not audited in afterward.

Composes with the library:

- **non-overwhelming-ux** — cognitive/sensory load (chunking, pacing,
  interruption control) is that skill's scope; this skill governs
  perceivability and operability of a single component
- **resilient-ui-states** — error/loading/empty states must also be
  accessible (announced, not just visible); see that skill for the state
  machine itself
- **validate-at-the-boundary** — this skill covers the *accessible surfacing*
  of a validation error (aria-invalid, aria-describedby); that skill covers
  the validation logic itself

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add annatchijova/skills/frontend-accessibility-by-construction@sha256:f554e9be544b1155

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.d250213, 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.
