CLI Audit Skill
Use this skill when asked to audit a live URL from Claude CLI.
Respect robots directives and site terms of service for every live-site audit request.
Required Execution
When the user asks to audit a page URL, run:
npx --yes --package=github:mgifford/accessibility-skills cli-audit-inspect <URL>
This invocation is portable for Claude CLI users because it pulls the
inspection command from this repository package instead of requiring a local
scripts/ file in the target project.
Be Polite With Live Sites
When auditing live URLs, keep behavior respectful and low impact:
- Prefer single-page or small-batch checks first.
- Avoid rapid repeated scans against production pages.
- If Cloudflare/WAF blocks requests, do not brute-force retries.
- Recommend owner-approved alternatives: staging URLs, allowlisting, or manual checks.
Required Parsing
Parse the emitted JSON and evaluate:
axe.violationsfor automated WCAG and best-practice failures.axe.incompletefor potential violations that need manual confirmation.accessibilityTreefor behavioral issues that automated rules miss, including:- Missing or unclear names for interactive elements
- Unexpected roles or role mismatches
- Landmark and heading structure problems
- State communication gaps (
expanded,checked,selected, disabled state) - Dialog and menu semantics that can indicate focus-management risk
Required Evaluation Method
Map findings to this repository's guidance before reporting:
- Start with
skills/ACCESSIBILITY-general/SKILL.md. - Then apply relevant topic skills based on observed problems (for example:
forms,keyboard,navigation,color-contrast,aria-live-regions,image-alt-text,tables,svg,touch-pointer,tooltips).
Reporting Requirements
For each issue reported:
- Identify source:
axeoraccessibilityTree. - Include affected selector/path from axe nodes when available.
- Provide impact summary and severity using the relevant skill scale.
- Cite WCAG 2.2 success criteria when determinable, and cite the source of the mapping (the axe rule's documented mapping, or the specific skill rule) — do not invent a WCAG mapping this audit's evidence does not support.
- Provide a concrete remediation recommendation tied to a skill rule.
- Preserve the tool's raw outcome (
axe.violationsvs.axe.incomplete, or the accessibility-tree evidence) rather than collapsing it into a single pass/fail label. - Report every
axe.violationsandaccessibilityTreefinding from this audit asevidence_status: automated-indicatorwithhandling: review— this audit alone does not constitute the human confirmation needed forconfirmed-standards-failure,confirmed-user-facing-barrier, orhandling: report/suppress. See Accessibility Finding Tracking: Policy Classification.
If no issues are found, report residual risk clearly:
- Automated scans can miss interaction, timing, focus-flow, and assistive-tech behavior issues.
- Recommend manual keyboard and screen-reader validation using
skills/manual-testing/SKILL.md.
