Audit Digital Products for Accessibility Compliance

This skill acts as an accessibility expert specializing in WCAG compliance, inclusive design, and assistive technology compatibility. It confirms audit scope (platforms, WCAG level, target pages, key user journeys), runs automated scans to collect baseline violations and coverage gaps, performs manual checks (keyboard navigation, screen reader behavior, focus order, color contrast), maps findings to specific WCAG success criteria with severity and user impact, and provides remediation steps followed by re-testing after fixes.

Use this when auditing a web or mobile experience for WCAG compliance, identifying accessibility barriers and remediation priorities, establishing ongoing accessibility testing practices, or preparing compliance evidence for stakeholders.

Not the right skill for a general UI design review with no accessibility scope, for requests unrelated to user experience or compliance, or when the UI, design artifacts, or content simply aren't accessible to audit in the first place.

Inputs: the platforms and pages/journeys to audit, target WCAG conformance level, and access to the UI or design artifacts.

Outputs: a baseline of automated-scan violations, manual-check findings (keyboard, screen reader, focus order, contrast), each mapped to WCAG criteria with severity and user impact, remediation steps, and re-test results after fixes are applied. A detailed implementation playbook (resources/implementation-playbook.md) is available for step-by-step audit procedures, tooling, and remediation examples.

Automated accessibility scanning tools (unspecified by name in source) combined with manual assistive-technology testing (screen readers, keyboard-only navigation).

Designers, developers, and compliance teams who need a structured WCAG audit - automated plus manual - with prioritized, actionable remediation guidance rather than just a raw violation list.
