Individual skill
accessibility
Use when making a web UI conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA — axe-core or Lighthouse a11y violations, keyboard operability, focus management, ARIA roles/names/live regions, contrast, tap-target size. NOT palette or visual intent (that is `design`), NOT test-runner setup (that is `testing-web`), NOT LCP/page-speed (that is `performance`).

# Accessibility — Ship WCAG 2.2 AA, not vibes
*The bar is conformance to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. "Looks fine to me" is not a measurement. Fix the semantics, scan what a machine can scan, then walk the part it can't.*
## The loop (your 30-second model)
Run these in order. Skipping a step front-loads rework.
1. **Native semantics first.** A real `<button>` ships focus, keyboard, and role for free. Most "a11y bugs" are a `<div>` doing a button's job.
2. **Automated scan.** axe-core catches roughly **57%** of WCAG issues — missing labels, bad roles, contrast (in a real browser), duplicate ids. Cheap, run it every commit.
3. **Manual checklist for the rest.** The other **~43%** — keyboard order, focus traps, meaningful alt text, screen-reader flow — no engine can judge. A human (or you, deliberately) must.
**Decision rule: never ship on a green axe run alone.** A clean automated scan means "no machine-detectable failures," not "accessible." Treat it as necessary, never sufficient.
