Maps Accessibility Skill

Canonical source: examples/MAPS_ACCESSIBILITY_BEST_PRACTICES.md in mgifford/ACCESSIBILITY.md This skill is derived from that file. When in doubt, the example is authoritative.

Apply these rules when implementing or reviewing any static or interactive map. Only load this skill if the project contains maps.

Core Mandate

No single text description works for every map. Start with the map's purpose and the tasks it supports, then provide accessible content and controls that preserve that purpose for people who cannot see, distinguish, point at, drag, zoom, or interpret the visual map. Keep the map and its structured alternative synchronized from the same data source.
