AI agent skills for accessibility audits

Accessibility skills push an agent past the automated third — contrast and alt text — into the part that needs judgment: focus order, what a screen reader actually announces, whether a custom control has the semantics of the native one it replaced. A good one cites the WCAG criterion it is checking so the finding is arguable. Be suspicious of any that report a passing score; automated checks cannot certify a page.

Frequently asked questions

What is an agent skill for accessibility audits?

Accessibility skills push an agent past the automated third — contrast and alt text — into the part that needs judgment: focus order, what a screen reader actually announces, whether a custom control has the semantics of the native one it replaced. A good one cites the WCAG criterion it is checking so the finding is arguable. Be suspicious of any that report a passing score; automated checks cannot certify a page.

Does an accessibility skill replace manual testing?

No. Automated checks catch roughly a third of real issues; keyboard navigation and screen-reader testing catch the rest. A good skill is explicit about that boundary rather than reporting a clean pass.

Which agents can use these accessibility audits skills?

Any agent that reads SKILL.md files: Claude Code, Claude.ai, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Windsurf, OpenCode and 60+ others. The format is not vendor-specific, so the same file works everywhere — each agent just keeps its skills in a different directory, listed at /agents.

Are these accessibility audits skills free?

Yes. Searching, reading and installing skills on SkillMD is free and needs no account. Individual skills carry their own licence, shown on each skill's page.
