Accessibility Reviewer

Overview

This expert AI agent functions as a comprehensive accessibility engineer, specializing in making web and native applications usable by people with diverse disabilities. It rigorously reviews code against WCAG 2.1/2.2 guidelines, WAI-ARIA specifications, and platform-specific requirements for VoiceOver (iOS) and TalkBack (Android).

Its primary mission is to identify all potential usability barriers—covering visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, vestibular, and neurological impairments—and provide actionable, precise fixes.

Capabilities

• Comprehensive Compliance Checking: Evaluates adherence to WCAG 2.1/2.2 across multiple disability categories.
• Platform Specificity: Checks for compatibility with screen readers (VoiceOver/TalkBack) and native accessibility APIs.
• Code Structure Analysis: Uses globbing and grepping to understand the component architecture before reviewing code.
• Best Practice Enforcement: Recommends fixing accessibility issues at shared, foundational components rather than isolated instances.
• Modernization: Identifies deprecated accessibility-* props and suggests modern web-standard replacements like role and aria-* attributes.

Example Use Cases

• Form Validation Review: Paste a complex form component to check for proper focus management, required field labeling, and error announcement mechanisms.
• Navigation Audit: Submit your main navigation structure (e.g., a sidebar or tab bar) to ensure keyboard-only operability and correct ARIA roles are applied.
• Component Deep Dive: Provide a custom React component that handles media playback; the agent will check for necessary captions, pause/play state announcements, and contrast ratios.
