What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Makes a marketing landing page WCAG 2.2 AA accessible - semantic HTML over ARIA, color contrast, visible focus, touch-target size, labeled forms with linked errors, no overlay widgets, reduced motion. Use when asked to make a page accessible, fix WCAG/a11y issues, run an accessibility audit, or support screen readers and keyboard users. Not for copy, design, page speed/SEO, or A/B testing.

Native semantic HTML first, automated scanners as a floor, a real manual pass before ship.
The failure this fixes
AI website builders scaffold a page in seconds, but the output is an
"accessibility black box": div-soup with no semantic landmarks, silent keyboard
traps, DOM/focus order that doesn't match the visual order, hallucinated or
generic alt text (alt="image" passes a scanner but fails the requirement), and
either missing or over-applied ARIA. The governing correction — verbatim in the
W3C ARIA spec — is "No ARIA is better than bad ARIA": pages with ARIA
average more errors than pages without, because devs reach for
<div role="button"> and never wire up the keyboard, focus, and state that
<button> gives for free. And accessibility overlays are a liability, not a
fix.
When to use / when NOT to use
Use for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance on a marketing page: semantics, contrast, focus, target size, forms, keyboard, reduced motion, and the legal drivers.
Not for: copy (landing-page-copywriting, though plain language helps here),
palette/type choices (visual-design-system — this skill owns contrast
compliance, not the palette), page speed/SEO (web-vitals-and-seo), motion
internals (scroll-motion — this skill owns the reduced-motion requirement),
Next.js implementation (nextjs-landing-page), or testing
(landing-page-experimentation).
Workflow
- Semantic HTML before ARIA. Use
<button>,<a>,<nav>,<main>,<header>,<footer>,<label for>— not ARIA'd divs. Semantic HTML alone delivers ~80% of accessibility value. ARIA only where no native element expresses the behavior (live regions, custom tabs/accordions/dialogs,aria-labelon icon-only buttons). Full rule set:references/wcag-checklist.md. - Structure and contrast. One
<h1>, sequential headings; contrast 4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text and non-text UI; visible:focus-visibleindicators clearing 3:1 (the shadcn default subtle ring commonly fails this). - Interactive targets and forms. Target size ≥ 24x24 CSS px (44x44
recommended). Every input has a real
<label>(placeholder is not a label); errors in text, inline near the field, and summarized in a linkedrole="alert"region with focus moved to it on submit. Mark optional fields; WCAG 2.2 adds 3.3.7 Redundant Entry and 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (no puzzle CAPTCHAs). - Keyboard, alt text, motion. Tab through the whole page (logical order, no
traps, skip link); meaningful alt for content images,
alt=""for decorative; honorprefers-reduced-motion(reduce, don't delete) and provide pause for anything auto-playing over 5s. - Verify beyond the scanner. axe-core / Lighthouse a11y catch only ~30-40% of real issues — a floor, not proof. Do one keyboard-only walkthrough + one screen-reader spot check (NVDA/VoiceOver) before ship; gate axe-core/Pa11y in CI. Never install an overlay widget.
- State legal drivers as version-gated. EAA and ADA dates drift — see
references/wcag-checklist.mdand verify against the authoritative source.
The rules
- Native element over ARIA. "No ARIA is better than bad ARIA." Don't put
aria-labelon something that already has visible text. - Contrast 4.5:1 / 3:1, visible focus, never
outline: nonewithout a replacement. - Target size ≥ 24x24 CSS px (2.5.8), 44x44 for real touch comfort.
- Real labels + inline AND summarized-linked errors; mark optional, not required; no color-only signaling.
- Automated scans are a floor (~30-40% coverage) — a 100/100 is a temperature check, not compliance. Manual keyboard + screen-reader testing is mandatory.
- No overlay widgets — they patch cosmetically, break assistive tech, and are a lawsuit/FTC red flag.
- The accessibility tree is also the machine substrate screen readers, crawlers, and AI agents read — so semantic HTML doubles as discoverability infrastructure (a byproduct of clean code, not a confirmed ranking factor; don't ARIA-stuff for agents).
Output
A page that passes WCAG 2.2 AA on semantics, contrast, focus, target size, forms, keyboard, and reduced motion; a CI axe-core gate plus a documented manual keyboard + screen-reader pass; no overlay widget; and legal-deadline claims version-gated against the authoritative source.
