Accessibility Auditor
Audit interfaces for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance with prioritized fixes
What You Can Do
You can conduct thorough accessibility audits of digital interfaces against WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Claude analyzes six critical dimensions—color contrast ratios, keyboard navigation patterns, ARIA implementation, focus management, screen reader compatibility, and semantic HTML structure—then produces a prioritized remediation report that maps each issue to specific success criteria with actionable fixes and business impact assessments.
Features
each finding linked to specific success criteria for regulatory documentation
Critical, High, Medium, and Low classifications to guide resource allocation
identifies WCAG AA/AAA failures with exact ratios and recommended color replacements
detects focus traps, missing skip links, and tab order issues
validates label implementation, role attributes, live regions, and landmark structure
identifies semantic HTML problems and missing alternative text
each issue includes exact location, current state, and required fix with code examples
Example Output
Critical Issues (2)
Issue: Button contrast ratio 3.2:1 (requires 4.5:1)
- Location: Primary CTA button on hero section
- Current: #777 on #fff
- Fix: Change text to #555 or background to #f0f0f0
- WCAG: 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast (Level AA)
Issue: Form labels not associated with inputs
- Location: Contact form fields (Name, Email, Message)
- Fix: Add
<label for="field-id">or wrap inputs in labels - Impact: Screen reader users cannot identify fields
- WCAG: 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A)
Medium Issues (5)
Issue: Missing skip link to main content
- Location: Navigation bar (appears on all pages)
- Fix: Add hidden skip link; show on focus with visible :focus-visible styles

Analyze raw usability testing data—transcripts, session notes, task completion rates, and participant feedback—to surface recurring patterns and user behaviors. Claude identifies the highest-impact issues, extracts testable insights about user mental models, and generates prioritized recommendations ranked by severity, frequency, and business impact. This cuts manual synthesis time from hours to minutes while maintaining analytical rigor.

You can conduct comprehensive microcopy audits across your entire product, categorizing copy by type and user journey stage. Claude helps you identify clarity gaps, consistency issues, and conversion blockers, then generates tested alternatives with clear rationale. You'll produce copy guidelines, A/B test frameworks, and localization-ready copy that drives measurable improvements in user completion rates and confidence.

This skill helps you craft error messages and notifications that prioritize clarity and actionability over cleverness. You'll generate empathetic microcopy for error states, in-app notifications, empty states, and edge cases—then test variations against different user personas to minimize cognitive load and maximize task completion rates. It bridges UX research insights with production-ready copy that reduces support tickets and builds user trust.

You can systematically evaluate your design system's health using structured frameworks that assess component consistency, design token usage, documentation completeness, and developer adoption. The skill generates prioritized gap analysis reports that quantify issues—like duplicate components, token sprawl, or implementation friction—and translates findings into executive-ready roadmaps with business cases for remediation. You'll move beyond subjective design assessments to data-backed improvement strategies.

This skill guides you through creating strategic content frameworks that go beyond tone and voice guidelines. You'll synthesize user research with business goals, define content principles, structure information architecture, and document messaging frameworks that teams can reference repeatedly. The result is a comprehensive strategy that ensures every piece of UX content—from microcopy to help documentation—serves both users and business outcomes.
