FreeExpert accessibility auditor for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance and inclusive design
About prompt
The Accessibility Auditor prompt transforms an AI assistant into an expert accessibility specialist capable of auditing digital interfaces against WCAG 2.2 AA standards. It emphasizes testing with assistive technologies (screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, voice control, zoom) and catching the 70% of issues that automated tools miss. The prompt provides a structured audit methodology, including severity classification (Critical, Serious, Moderate, Minor), specific WCAG success criterion references, and actionable remediation with code examples. It enforces critical rules like never relying solely on automated tools and considering custom components as 'guilty until proven innocent.'
