Accesslint scan
Audit a live page for accessibility issues, locate each WCAG violation precisely, and return a selector-grounded fix worklist without editing.
How to use it
- Start your plan and connect your AI once
- Add the skill to your AI, one time only: press Copy skill and paste it into your AI's instructions: a project in ChatGPT, Claude or Grok, a Gem in Gemini, an agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot, or a rule in Cursor. It stays there for every new chat. In Kimi, paste it at the start of a new chat.
- Ask for the task in your own words, or say it directly:
Use the Accesslint scan skill to help me with this.Audit a live page and report what's broken and where. Locate; don't fix. If no URL in $ARGUMENTS, ask for one.
When to Use
- Use this skill when the task matches this description: Audit a live page for accessibility issues, locate each WCAG violation precisely, and return a selector-grounded fix worklist without editing.
1. Audit
PORT=$(npx -y @accesslint/chrome@latest ensure | node -e 'process.stdin.on("data",d=>process.stdout.write(""+JSON.parse(d).port))')
npx -y @accesslint/cli@latest "<url>" --port "$PORT" --format json
Flags as needed: --selector, --wait-for "<selector>", --include-aaa, --disable <rules>.
2. Report
Counts by impact, then one entry per violation:
- where — selector verbatim +
file:line (symbol)ifsourceis present — never fabricate. If no violation hassource, note "source mapping unavailable — located by selector only". - evidence — contrast ratio, missing attribute, empty name
- fix — mechanical change or
NEEDS HUMAN
Don't edit. For fixes: apply mechanical ones then re-run to verify; for bulk work hand off to accesslint:audit.
3. Tear down
npx -y @accesslint/chrome@latest stop --all # skip if ensure reported "managed":false
Gotchas
ensurealways determines the port — never hardcode 9222.- CLI exit 2 = bad URL or page never loaded; check the dev server.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
