Use when fixing or auditing ANY accessibility issue — VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, color contrast, touch targets, WCAG compliance, App Store accessibility review.

Accessibility You MUST use this skill for ANY accessibility work including VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, color contrast, WCAG compliance, and UX flow auditing. <! AXIOM AUDITOR INLINE BEGIN — auto maintained by scripts/build inlined auditors.ts; do not hand edit Can't launch Axiom agents? Where this router sends you to an agent, follow its procedure inline. Over MCP, axiom get agent returns it; elsewhere, read its file below, which needs only file search and read. Available here: skills/accessibility auditor.md . Homed in another suite: axiom concurrency/skills/concurrency auditor.md , axiom data/skills/swiftdata auditor.md , axiom swiftui/skills/swiftui nav auditor.md , axiom swiftui/skills/ux flow auditor.md . For any other agent, over MCP axiom get agent returns it too; run its xclog, xcsym and xcprof steps with the axiom xclog , axiom xcsym and axiom xcprof tools. Elsewhere, search Axiom's skills for skills/<agent .md ; if there is none, do that work yourself with this suite's skills, using any Axiom tool on your PATH . <!

ANY VoiceOver, Dynamic Type (including tvOS Large Text), contrast, touch target, or WCAG issue → skills/accessibility diag.md 2. Assistive Access (cognitive disabilities, iOS 17+) → skills/accessibility diag.md 3. Accessibility Nutrition Labels, or an App Review note about accessibility → skills/accessibility diag.md 4. Reading app: VoiceOver stops at paragraphs/pages, Speak Screen halts → skills/accessibility diag.md 5. UX dead ends, dismiss traps, buried CTAs, missing states → skills/ux flow audit.md 6. watchOS specific accessibility (rotor on Digital Crown, AssistiveTouch, Double Tap) → skills/watchos a11y.md 7. Want automated accessibility scan? → accessibility auditor agent or /axiom:audit accessibility Automated Scanning Accessibility audit → Launch accessibility auditor agent or /axiom:audit accessibility VoiceOver labels and hints Dynamic Type violations Color contrast failures WCAG compliance scanning UX flow audit → Launch ux flow auditor agent Dead end views, dismiss traps Buried CTAs, missing empty/loading/error states Deep link dead ends, accessibility dead ends Critical Patterns Image Accessibility Use Image(decorative: "photo") for purely decorative images — automatically hidden from VoiceOver (equivalent to accessibilityHidden(true) but semantically clearer) Use accessibilityInputLabels() for buttons with complex or changing labels — improves Voice Control accuracy by providing alternative labels Respect accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor environment value — when active, provide non color cues (icons, patterns, labels) alongside color indicators Anti Rationalization Thought Reality "I'll add VoiceOver labels when I'm done building" Accessibility is foundational, not polish. Retrofitting labels across a finished app takes far longer, and until they're done VoiceOver support can't be declared. "My app doesn't need accessibility" All apps need accessibility. It isn't an App Store rule, but people who rely on VoiceOver or Larger Text can't use the app without it, and its Accessibility Nutrition Labels show that before they download. "Dynamic Type just needs .scaledFont" Dynamic Type has 7 common violations. accessibility diag catches them all. "Color contrast looks fine to me" Visual assessment is unreliable. WCAG ratios require measurement. accessibility diag validates. "UX issues are just polish" UX dead ends cause 1 star reviews. They're defects, not enhancements. "The dismiss gesture handles it" fullScreenCover has no dismiss gesture. That's the trap.
