accessibility
Build WCAG 2.1 AA compliant websites with semantic HTML, proper ARIA, focus management, and screen reader support. Includes color contrast (4.5:1 text), keyboard navigation, form labels, and live regions. Use when implementing accessible interfaces, fixing screen reader issues, keyboard navigation, or troubleshooting "focus outline missing", "aria-label required", "insufficient contrast".
Why use this skill?
Build accessible websites with the OpenClaw Accessibility skill. Master semantic HTML, WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, focus management, and ARIA patterns for inclusive web development.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/veeramanikandanr48/accessibilityWhat This Skill Does
The Accessibility skill is a comprehensive toolkit designed to ensure your web projects meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. It focuses on the core pillars of web accessibility: Semantic HTML, robust focus management, proper ARIA labeling, and inclusive design practices. This skill acts as an intelligent auditor, helping you identify and resolve issues related to keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and visual contrast. By embedding this skill into your workflow, you ensure that your interactive components are usable by everyone, regardless of their physical abilities or assistive technology requirements.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw agent, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/veeramanikandanr48/accessibility
Ensure you have the latest version of the OpenClaw CLI to take full advantage of the internal semantic checking logic.
Use Cases
This skill is essential when:
- Refactoring non-semantic components (like 'div buttons') into accessible, keyboard-focusable elements.
- Troubleshooting failed automated accessibility tests, such as missing aria-labels or low contrast ratios.
- Creating custom components like modal dialogs, date pickers, or navigation menus that require complex focus management (trapping focus and handling escape key events).
- Ensuring complex dynamic content provides feedback to screen reader users via ARIA live regions.
Example Prompts
- "I have a custom dropdown menu that isn't accessible via keyboard. Can you help me implement keyboard navigation, focus management, and proper ARIA roles for this component?"
- "My audit tool is flagging low color contrast on my buttons. Can you check my CSS and suggest a palette that satisfies the 4.5:1 ratio requirement?"
- "The screen reader isn't announcing updates in my shopping cart widget. How can I implement a live region to notify users when items are added or removed?"
Tips & Limitations
- Rule of Thumb: Always prioritize native HTML elements (buttons, inputs, etc.) over ARIA roles. ARIA should only be used when native elements cannot fulfill the functional requirement.
- Focus Management: Always provide a visual focus indicator. Never use
outline: noneunless you are providing an equivalent, high-contrast custom replacement. - Testing: While this skill provides excellent guidance, always verify with real assistive tools like NVDA, VoiceOver, or axe-core automated testing suites.
- Limitations: This skill does not automatically modify your codebase; it provides expert-level guidance, code snippets, and structural advice. You are responsible for applying these changes to your project.
