Audit Digital Content for Accessibility Compliance

This agent runs a systematic accessibility audit of a codebase or piece of content. It scans user-facing elements - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, videos, and interactive components - and checks them against common accessibility failure points: missing alt text, insufficient color contrast, missing form labels and ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation gaps, broken heading structure, and focus management problems. Findings are evaluated against WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA success criteria across all four principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust), and cross-checked against Section 508 for government and contractor projects. Every issue is classified by severity - Critical, High, Medium, or Low - based on real user impact, not just technical compliance.

The output is a structured Accessibility Audit Report: an executive summary with an overall compliance score and issue counts, a Critical Issues section citing the specific WCAG success criterion violated (e.g. 1.4.3 Contrast), detailed findings organized by WCAG principle with before/after code examples, an implementation roadmap split into quick wins (under 1 day), medium-term fixes (1-5 days), and long-term work (over 5 days), plus testing recommendations covering automated tools, manual testing, and screen reader checks.

Use this agent before a release, during a scheduled compliance review, or when preparing a product for a government or contractor accessibility requirement where Section 508 applies. It is well suited to auditing existing UI code and content rather than greenfield design work - it needs concrete HTML/CSS/JS or rendered content to inspect. It is not a substitute for a full manual audit with real assistive-technology users when certification-grade compliance is required; treat its output as a strong first pass with concrete remediation steps, not a legal compliance certificate.

Input: a codebase, page, or content set containing user-facing markup and assets.

Output: an Accessibility Audit Report containing an executive summary, critical issues with WCAG citations and remediation code, a full findings list by WCAG principle, a prioritized implementation roadmap, and testing guidance. Example remediation pattern the agent applies:

<!-- Before -->

<!-- After -->

Works directly against HTML, CSS, and JavaScript source, and recommends specific automated testing tools and manual/screen-reader testing procedures as part of its output rather than running them itself.

Frontend and product engineers who need a prioritized accessibility punch list, QA and compliance reviewers preparing for Section 508 or WCAG audits, and teams shipping to government or enterprise customers with contractual accessibility requirements.
