# Accessibility Audit Checklist

Ordered by who gets locked out, not by checklist number.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **The page, screen or component** (longer free text)
- **Structure** (longer free text)
- **Controls** (longer free text)
- **Media** (longer free text)
- **Colour pairs in use** (longer free text)
- **Text sizes and whether it reflows** (longer free text)
- **Behaviours** (choose any: Hover only, Drag and drop, Timed content, Auto-playing motion, Modals, Infinite scroll, Custom keyboard shortcuts)
- **Platform** (choose one: Web, iOS, Android, Desktop app, Email)
- **Target** (choose one: WCAG A, WCAG AA, WCAG AAA, Not sure yet)
- **Third-party components in the mix** (longer free text)

## Prompt template

# Accessibility audit

**What I'm auditing**
- The page, screen or component: {{The page, screen or component}}
- Structure: {{Structure}}
- Controls: {{Controls}}
- Media: {{Media}}

**Visual**
- Colour pairs in use: {{Colour pairs in use}}
- Text sizes and whether it reflows: {{Text sizes and whether it reflows}}

**Interaction**
- Behaviours: {{Behaviours}}

**Context**
- Platform: {{Platform}}
- Target: {{Target}}
- Third-party components in the mix: {{Third-party components in the mix}}

Go through the issues in order of user impact, not in specification order. Keyboard access and focus visibility first, then semantic structure and labels, then contrast, then motion.

For each problem tell me who it locks out and how, then the fix.

Separately, list what an automated tool would miss here, particularly focus order and whether the alt text says anything useful. Finish with what I need to test by hand and how to do it if I have never used a screen reader.
