a11y-validate

# /a11y-validate — Accessibility & EAA Compliance Scanner $ARGUMENTS Scan a codebase for accessibility issues using pattern-matching heuristics. Detects violations of **WCAG 2.1 Level AA**, **EN 301 549** (the EU harmonized accessibility standard), and the **European Accessibility Act** (Directive (EU) 2019/882, "EAA", in force since 28 June 2025). Read-only — never modifies files. Complements `/seo-validate` (which only covers SEO-a11y overlap shallowly). Use this skill when the concern is legal accessibility compliance, not search engine ranking. **Standards basis**: - **WCAG 2.1** Level A + AA — W3C Recommendation 2018 (updated 2023). - **WCAG 2.2** Level AA (opt-in via `--standard wcag-2.2-aa`) — adds 2.4.11 focus not obscured, 2.5.8 target size minimum, 3.2.6 consistent help, 3.3.7 redundant entry, 3.3.8 accessible authentication. - **EN 301 549 v3.2.1** — EU harmonized standard; aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA plus additional chapters for mobile, hardware, ICT procurement, authoring tools, and functional-performance statements. - **EAA / Directive (EU) 2019/882** — legal framework requiring EN 301 549 conformance for consumer-facing digital products and services in EU markets. Deadline: **28 June 2025**. Requires accessibility statements per member-state templates. ## Usage ``` /a11y-validate # Scan full project, auto-detect framework /a11y-validate src/ # Scan specific path /a11y-validate --scope keyboard ...
