# Accessibility Review
This skill audits a product for accessibility — how well people with
disabilities (visual, motor, auditory, cognitive, situational) can perceive,
operate, and understand it — and writes up what to fix, tied to the standard it
fails. Accessibility isn't a subjective "nice to have": it's governed by
published, testable standards, and much of it is a legal requirement (ADA,
Section 508 in the US, EN 301 549 / the European Accessibility Act in the EU).
Grounding findings in those standards is what makes the report credible and
actionable.
Two honest framing points to carry into any review:
- **Automated checks catch only part of it.** Tools (axe, WAVE, Lighthouse) find
maybe a third of issues — mostly contrast, missing alt, missing labels. The
rest (meaningful focus order, sensible reading order, whether alt text is
*good*, whether an interaction is truly operable by keyboard and screen reader)
needs human judgment. Say so, and don't imply a clean automated scan means
"accessible."
- **You often can't fully verify from a description.** Real conformance testing
needs the running product, a keyboard, and a screen reader. When you only have
a screenshot or a description, give your best assessment, be explicit about what
you couldn't verify, and never claim conformance you didn't test.
## The standards to reference
Reference these directly and by name — they're public norms, and citing them
precisely is what gives the review authority.
