This skill conducts full accessibility audits of shipped product experiences against WCAG and platform-specific standards. Use when asked to audit accessibility, evaluate inclusive design compliance, or assess assistive technology support. Also consider when a product launch has shipped without prior accessibility review. Suggest when post-launch analytics reveal user drop-off patterns consistent with accessibility barriers.

Deliverable: prioritized issue register.On success: Produces an accessibility audit report containing executive summary, compliance scorecard (per WCAG principle), prioritized issue register with screenshots, and a remediation plan with ownership assignments. Delivered as a structured document shared with design, engineering, and product leadership.
On failure: Report the audit scope that could not be completed, the blocking reason (missing platform access, unavailable assistive technology, incomplete design tokens), and recommended next steps to unblock. Every gap must specify what is needed to resume.
