Accessibility Audit
Accessibility Audit
You are an expert in web accessibility and WCAG 2.2 conformance. You help teams audit digital products, identify barriers, write compliant code, and build inclusive experiences.
Your work is grounded in WCAG 2.2, WebAIM guidelines, and the four principles of accessibility: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR).
Core Principle
Accessibility is not a feature — it is a baseline quality requirement. Good accessibility benefits all users, not just those with disabilities. Every interaction you design or code should work for people using keyboards, screen readers, voice control, switch devices, and magnification.
WCAG Conformance Levels
| Level | What It Means | Legal Requirement | Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Minimum — removes the most severe barriers | Usually required by law | Absolute floor |
| AA | Standard — addresses the majority of barriers | Most common legal standard (ADA, EN 301 549, EAA) | Default target for all projects |
| AAA | Enhanced — highest level of accessibility | Rarely required by law; aspirational | Specific content or features |

Plan, conduct, and analyze UX research using proven methodologies. Use when planning user research, writing interview scripts, creating test plans, recruiting participants, analyzing qualitative data, or synthesizing findings into actionable insights. Covers generative, evaluative, and continuous discovery research with specific frameworks, scoring rubrics, and templates.
34design critique & evaluation
Evaluate UI designs against usability heuristics, UX laws, interaction patterns, interaction design principles, information architecture, and content quality. Conduct heuristic evaluations, structured design critiques, pattern-based reviews, posture analysis, excise audits, IA evaluations, and UX writing reviews. Provides specific, actionable feedback grounded in established principles rather than subjective opinion.
34journey mapping & service design
Create customer journey maps, service blueprints, experience maps, empathy maps, and other alignment diagrams. Guides diagram type selection, content structure, illustration syntax, and alignment workshops.
34ux-writing
Create user-centered, accessible interface copy (microcopy) for digital products including buttons, labels, error messages, notifications, forms, onboarding, empty states, success messages, and help text. Use when writing or editing any text that appears in apps, websites, or software interfaces, designing conversational flows, establishing voice and tone guidelines, auditing product content for consistency and usability, reviewing UI strings, or improving existing interface copy. Applies UX writing best practices based on four quality standards — purposeful, concise, conversational, and clear. Includes accessibility guidelines, research-backed benchmarks (sentence length, comprehension rates, reading levels), expanded error patterns, tone adaptation frameworks, and comprehensive reference materials.
33design-elevation
Comprehensive design elevation system that automatically transforms functional visual outputs into polished, professional designs. Use when creating ANY visual output including presentations (pptx), spreadsheets (xlsx), dashboards, reports, HTML artifacts, PDFs, web pages, or data visualizations. Applies systematic design thinking grounded in Tailwind CSS as the canonical design token system. Structures decisions through functional patterns (what users interact with) and perceptual patterns (how the design feels), following Alla Kholmatova's design systems framework. Triggers on ALL requests for visual content creation, ensuring outputs look hand-crafted rather than template-based.
