## When to Use This Skill

Combine automated scans with keyboard and screen-reader passes to find issues tools miss.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Automate first: axe scan on key routes, triage all criticals
2. Unplug the mouse: complete every core flow keyboard-only
3. Listen once with a screen reader through signup and checkout
4. Check focus visibility, order, and trap-free modals manually
5. Verify contrast against actual rendered colors including disabled states
6. File findings with WCAG criterion references and own fixes within sprint

## Common Pitfalls

- Trusting automated score as proof of compliance
- outline:none without a visible replacement

## Success Signals

- Zero critical axe issues
- All flows completable keyboard-only
