Accessibility engineering for product interfaces, from focus states and keyboard support to ARIA, forms, and screen readers. Use when building or reviewing UI components, modals, menus, forms, custom widgets, or when the user says make this accessible or reports keyboard or screen-reader issues. Triggers on accessibility, a11y, WCAG, aria, focus ring, focus-visible, focus trap, keyboard navigation, tab order, tabindex, screen reader, sr-only, aria-live, alt text, hit area, touch target…

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 that comes with the craft

Accessibility is not a compliance checkbox bolted on at the end; it is the floor for interface craft. Most of it is free if you use the platform: native elements ship with keyboard support, real labels announce themselves, and a visible focus ring is one CSS rule. Apply these principles when building or reviewing UI code, and match the project's existing styling system (Tailwind vs. plain CSS vs. CSS-in-JS) when applying fixes.

When reviewing, walk the interface as a keyboard-only user first (every flow must complete without a mouse), then as a screen-reader user: does each control announce a name, a role, and its state? When unsure, prefer the platform default over a custom rebuild, and remove ARIA rather than add it.

Rendered-pair contrast measurement and color remediation are covered by the `better-colors` skill; visual text sizing and iOS input zoom by `better-typography`; spatial RTL layout by `better-layout`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/better-accessibility@sha256:435b3e6703e37556

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
