# /a11y-ally - Comprehensive Accessibility Audit

<default_to_action>
When this skill is invoked with a URL, Claude executes ALL steps automatically without waiting for user prompts between steps.

## THIS IS AN LLM-POWERED SKILL

The value of this skill is **Claude's intelligence**, not just running automated tools:

| Automated Tools Do | Claude (This Skill) Does |
|--------------------|--------------------------|
| Flag "button has no name" | Analyze context: icon class, parent element, nearby text → generate "Add to wishlist" |
| Flag "image missing alt" | Use Vision to see the image → describe actual content |
| Flag "video has no captions" | Download video, extract frames, analyze each frame with Vision → generate real captions |
| Output generic templates | Generate context-specific, copy-paste ready fixes |

**IF YOU SKIP THE LLM ANALYSIS, THIS SKILL HAS NO VALUE.**

---

## EXECUTION MODEL

**CLAUDE EXECUTES ALL STEPS WITHOUT STOPPING.**

Do NOT wait for user prompts between steps. Execute the full pipeline:

1. **Data Collection**: Run multi-tool scan (axe-core, pa11y, Lighthouse) via Bash
2. **LLM Analysis**: Read results and analyze context for each violation
3. **Vision Pipeline**: If videos detected → download → extract frames → Read each frame → describe
4. **Intelligent Remediation**: Generate context-specific fixes using your reasoning
5. **Generate Reports**: Write all output files to `docs/accessibility-scans/{page-slug}/`

**WRONG:**
```
Claude: "I found 5 violations. Should I analyze them?"
User: "Yes"
Claude: "I see a video. Should I run the video pipeline?"
User: "Yes"
```

**RIGHT:**
```
Claude: [Runs scan] → [Analyzes violations] → [Downloads video] → [Extracts frames] →
        [Reads each frame with Vision] → [Generates captions] → [Writes all files]
        "Audit complete. Generated 4 files in docs/accessibility-scans/example/"
```

---

## STEP 1: BROWSER AUTOMATION - Content Fetching

### 1.1: Try VIBIUM First (Primary)
```javascript
ToolSearch("select:mcp__vibium__browser_launch")
ToolSearch("select:mcp__vibium__browser_navigate")
mcp__vibium__browser_launch({ headless: true })
mcp__vibium__browser_navigate({ url: "TARGET_URL" })
```

**If Vibium fails** → Go to STEP 1b

### 1b: Try AGENT-BROWSER Fallback
```javascript
ToolSearch("select:mcp__claude-flow_alpha__browser_open")
mcp__claude-flow_alpha__browser_open({ url: "TARGET_URL", waitUntil: "networkidle" })
```

**If agent-browser fails** → Go to STEP 1c

### 1c: PLAYWRIGHT + STEALTH (Final Fallback)
```bash
mkdir -p /tmp/a11y-work && cd /tmp/a11y-work
npm init -y 2>/dev/null
npm install playwright-extra puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth @axe-core/playwright pa11y lighthouse chrome-launcher 2>/dev/null
```

Create and run scan script - see STEP 2 for full multi-tool scan code.

### 1d: PARALLEL MULTI-PAGE AUDIT (Optional)

For auditing multiple URLs simultaneously, use parallel execution:

```javascript
// /tmp/a11y-work/parallel-audit.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright-extra');
const stealth = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth')();
const { AxeBuilder } = require('@axe-core/playwright');

chromium.use(stealth);

const MAX_CONCURRENT = 6;  // Maximum parallel auditors

async function auditUrl(browser, url) {
  const context = await browser.newContext();
  const page = await context.newPage();

  try {
    await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded', timeout: 60000 });
    await page.waitForTimeout(2000);

    const axeResults = await new AxeBuilder({ page })
      .withTags(['wcag2a', 'wcag2aa', 'wcag21a', 'wcag21aa', 'wcag22aa'])
      .analyze();

    return { url, success: true, violations: axeResults.violations };
  } catch (error) {
    return { url, success: false, error: error.message };
  } finally {
    await context.close();
  }
}

async function parallelAudit(urls) {
  const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: true });
  const results = [];

  // Process in chunks of MAX_CONCURRENT
  for (let i = 0; i < urls.length; i += MAX_CONCURRENT) {
    const chunk = urls.slice(i, i + MAX_CONCURRENT);
    console.log(`Auditing batch ${Math.floor(i/MAX_CONCURRENT) + 1}: ${chunk.length} URLs`);

    const chunkResults = await Promise.all(
      chunk.map(url => auditUrl(browser, url))
    );
    results.push(...chunkResults);
  }

  await browser.close();
  return results;
}

// Usage: node parallel-audit.js url1 url2 url3 ...
const urls = process.argv.slice(2);
if (urls.length > 0) {
  parallelAudit(urls).then(results => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2));
  });
}
```

**Usage for multi-page audit:**
```bash
node parallel-audit.js https://example.com https://example.com/about https://example.com/contact
```

### 1e: SITE CRAWL MODE (Optional)

For comprehensive site audits, crawl and audit all pages:

```javascript
// /tmp/a11y-work/crawl-audit.js
async function crawlAndAudit(startUrl, maxPages = 50) {
  const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: true });
  const visited = new Set();
  const toVisit = [startUrl];
  const results = [];
  const baseUrl = new URL(startUrl).origin;

  while (toVisit.length > 0 && results.length < maxPages) {
    const url = toVisit.shift();
    if (visited.has(url)) continue;
    visited.add(url);

    console.log(`[${results.length + 1}/${maxPages}] Auditing: ${url}`);

    const context = await browser.newContext();
    const page = await context.newPage();

    try {
      await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded', timeout: 30000 });

      // Extract same-domain links for crawling
      const links = await page.evaluate((base) => {
        return [...document.querySelectorAll('a[href]')]
          .map(a => a.href)
          .filter(href => href.startsWith(base) && !href.includes('#'))
          .filter(href => !href.match(/\.(pdf|jpg|png|gif|css|js)$/i));
      }, baseUrl);

      // Add new links to queue
      links.forEach(link => {
        if (!visited.has(link) && !toVisit.includes(link)) {
          toVisit.push(link);
        }
      });

      // Run accessibility audit
      const axeResults = await new AxeBuilder({ page })
        .withTags(['wcag2a', 'wcag2aa', 'wcag22aa'])
        .analyze();

      results.push({ url, violations: axeResults.violations });
    } catch (e) {
      results.push({ url, error: e.message });
    }

    await context.close();
  }

  await browser.close();
  return { pagesAudited: results.length, results };
}

// Usage: node crawl-audit.js https://example.com 50
const [startUrl, maxPages] = process.argv.slice(2);
crawlAndAudit(startUrl, parseInt(maxPages) || 50).then(r => console.log(JSON.stringify(r, null, 2)));
```

## STEP 2: COMPREHENSIVE WCAG SCAN (Multi-Tool, Parallel, Resilient)

**IMPORTANT:** This step uses THREE accessibility testing tools for maximum coverage:
- **axe-core**: Industry standard, excellent for ARIA and semantic issues
- **pa11y**: Strong on contrast, links, and HTML validation
- **Lighthouse**: Google's accessibility scoring with performance correlation

Combined detection rate is ~15% higher than any single tool.

### 2.0: RESILIENCE ARCHITECTURE (v7.0 Enhancement)

**Key improvements over v6.0:**

| Feature | v6.0 (Old) | v7.0 (New) |
|---------|------------|------------|
| Tool execution | Sequential | **Parallel (Promise.allSettled)** |
| Timeout handling | Global 60s | **Per-tool (60s/60s/90s)** |
| Failure mode | All-or-nothing | **Graceful degradation** |
| Retry logic | None | **Exponential backoff (3 retries)** |
| Output style | Wait for all | **Progressive (stream as ready)** |
| Minimum tools | 3 required | **1 of 3 sufficient** |

**Coverage by tools succeeded:**
- 3/3 tools: ~95% detection (optimal)
- 2/3 tools: ~85% detection (good)
- 1/3 tools: ~70% detection (acceptable)
- 0/3 tools: FAIL - retry with different strategy

### 2.1: Run Multi-Tool Analysis (PARALLEL + RESILIENT)
Create and run `/tmp/a11y-work/multi-tool-scan.js`:
```javascript
const { chromium } = require('playwright-extra');

    )
  ]);
}

      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
    }
  }

  console.log(`\nResults saved to: ${OUTPUT_FILE}`);
})();
```

### 2.2: Read Scan Results

After running the scan, read the results file:
```bash
cat /tmp/a11y-work/scan-results.json
```

The results include:
- **pageInfo**: Page structure, images, headings, media
- **violations**: All violations from all tools (deduplicated)
- **byTool**: Success/failure status per tool
- **toolsSucceeded**: Number of tools that completed (1-3)

### 2.3: Graceful Degradation Decision Tree

| Tools Succeeded | Action |
|-----------------|--------|
| **3/3** | ✅ Full coverage - proceed with all results |
| **2/3** | ⚠️ Good coverage - note which tool failed in report |
| **1/3** | ⚠️ Basic coverage - proceed but flag limited confidence |
| **0/3** | ❌ Retry with Vibium MCP, or document failure |

### 2.4: MANDATORY - Check for Videos and Trigger Pipeline

After reading scan results, check `pageInfo.media.videoUrls`:

```javascript
// Check scan-results.json for videos
const results = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('/tmp/a11y-work/scan-results.json'));
if (results.pageInfo && results.pageInfo.media.videoUrls.length > 0) {
  console.log('=== VIDEOS DETECTED - TRIGGERING VIDEO PIPELINE ===');
  for (const video of results.pageInfo.media.videoUrls) {
    console.log(`Video: ${video.src}`);
    console.log(`  Has captions: ${video.hasCaptions}`);
  }
  // PROCEED TO STEP 7 IMMEDIATELY
}
```

**IF videos detected AND hasCaptions=false → STEP 7 is MANDATORY before generating reports.**

---

## STEP 3: CONTEXT-AWARE REMEDIATION (LLM-POWERED)

**THIS IS WHERE CLAUDE'S INTELLIGENCE MATTERS.**

Generic tools output: `aria-label="[DESCRIPTION]"`
You output: `aria-label="Add to shopping cart"` because you understand context.

### 3.1: Context Analysis (Use Your Reasoning)

For EACH violation, Claude must:

1. **READ THE HTML CONTEXT** - Don't just see `<button class="btn">`, see:
   ```html
   <div class="product-card" data-product="Adidas Superstar">
     <img src="superstar.jpg" alt="White sneakers">
     <span class="price">$99</span>
     <button class="btn add-to-cart">  <!-- THIS IS THE VIOLATION -->
       <svg class="icon-cart">...</svg>
     </button>
   </div>
   ```

2. **INFER PURPOSE** from:
   - Class names: `add-to-cart`, `wishlist`, `menu-toggle`
   - Parent context: Inside `.product-card` with product data
   - Icon classes: `icon-cart`, `icon-heart`, `icon-search`
   - Nearby text: Product name, price, "Add to bag"
   - Page section: Header nav vs product grid vs checkout

3. **GENERATE SPECIFIC FIX**:
   ```html
   <!-- NOT THIS (generic template) -->
   <button aria-label="[DESCRIPTION]">

   <!-- THIS (context-aware) -->
   <button aria-label="Add Adidas Superstar to cart - $99">
   ```

### 3.2: Confidence Scoring

Rate your confidence in each fix:
- **0.9+**: Clear context (class="add-to-cart" near product name)
- **0.7-0.9**: Reasonable inference (icon-cart class alone)
- **<0.7**: Needs human review (ambiguous context)

Include confidence in remediation.md:
```markdown
### Button: `.product-card .btn` (Confidence: 0.95)
**Context:** Inside product card for "Adidas Superstar", has cart icon
**Fix:** `aria-label="Add Adidas Superstar to cart"`
```

### 3.2: Remediation Templates by Violation Type

**Form Labels (WCAG 1.3.1, 3.3.2, 4.1.2)**
```html
<!-- Context: Input inside payment form, near "Card Number" text -->
<!-- Confidence: 0.95 -->

<!-- BEFORE -->
<input type="text" name="cardNumber" placeholder="1234 5678 9012 3456">

<!-- AFTER -->
<label for="card-number">Credit Card Number</label>
<input type="text"
       id="card-number"
       name="cardNumber"
       placeholder="1234 5678 9012 3456"
       aria-describedby="card-hint"
       autocomplete="cc-number"
       inputmode="numeric"
       pattern="[0-9\s]{13,19}">
<span id="card-hint" class="visually-hidden">Enter 16-digit card number</span>

<!-- RATIONALE -->
- Visible label aids all users
- aria-describedby provides additional context
- autocomplete enables autofill
- inputmode shows numeric keyboard on mobile
- pattern enables browser validation
```

**Icon Buttons (WCAG 4.1.2)**
```html
<!-- Context: Button with SVG inside nav, classes include "menu-toggle" -->
<!-- Confidence: 0.92 -->

<!-- BEFORE -->
<button class="menu-toggle">
  <svg>...</svg>
</button>

<!-- AFTER -->
<button class="menu-toggle"
        type="button"
        aria-expanded="false"
        aria-controls="main-menu"
        aria-label="Open navigation menu">
  <svg aria-hidden="true" focusable="false">...</svg>
</button>

<!-- RATIONALE -->
- aria-label describes action, not icon
- aria-expanded communicates state
- aria-controls links to menu element
- SVG hidden from assistive tech (decorative)
```

**Color Contrast (WCAG 1.4.3)**
```html
<!-- Context: Gray text (#767676) on white background -->
<!-- Current ratio: 4.48:1 (FAILS AA for normal text) -->
<!-- Required: 4.5:1 (AA) or 7:1 (AAA) -->

<!-- BEFORE -->
.low-contrast { color: #767676; background: #ffffff; }

<!-- AFTER (Option 1: Darken text - minimal change) -->
.accessible { color: #757575; background: #ffffff; } /* 4.6:1 - PASSES AA */

<!-- AFTER (Option 2: Higher contrast for AAA) -->
.high-contrast { color: #595959; background: #ffffff; } /* 7.0:1 - PASSES AAA */

<!-- COLOR ALTERNATIVES -->
| Original | AA Pass | AAA Pass | Notes |
|----------|---------|----------|-------|
| #767676  | #757575 | #595959  | Gray text |
| #0066cc  | #0055b3 | #003d82  | Link blue |
| #cc0000  | #b30000 | #8b0000  | Error red |
```

**Heading Hierarchy (WCAG 1.3.1)**
```html
<!-- Context: Page has 10 H1 elements, skipped H2 levels -->

<!-- BEFORE (broken) -->
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<h1>Products</h1>      <!-- ERROR: Multiple H1s -->
<h4>Shoes</h4>         <!-- ERROR: Skipped H2, H3 -->
<h1>Contact</h1>

<!-- AFTER (correct) -->
<h1>Site Name - Main Page Title</h1>
<main>
  <section aria-labelledby="products-heading">
    <h2 id="products-heading">Products</h2>
    <h3>Shoes</h3>
    <h3>Clothing</h3>
  </section>
  <section aria-labelledby="contact-heading">
    <h2 id="contact-heading">Contact</h2>
  </section>
</main>

<!-- HEADING STRUCTURE VISUALIZATION -->
h1: Site Name - Main Page Title
├── h2: Products
│   ├── h3: Shoes
│   └── h3: Clothing
└── h2: Contact
```

**Skip Links (WCAG 2.4.1)**
```html
<!-- Add as FIRST element inside <body> -->
<body>
  <a href="#main-content" class="skip-link">Skip to main content</a>
  <a href="#main-nav" class="skip-link">Skip to navigation</a>

  <header>
    <nav id="main-nav" aria-label="Main navigation">...</nav>
  </header>

  <main id="main-content" tabindex="-1">
    <!-- Main content -->
  </main>
</body>

<style>
.skip-link {
  position: absolute;
  top: -100%;
  left: 16px;
  background: #000;
  color: #fff;
  padding: 12px 24px;
  z-index: 10000;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: bold;
  border-radius: 0 0 4px 4px;
  transition: top 0.2s;
}
.skip-link:focus {
  top: 0;
  outline: 3px solid #ffcc00;
  outline-offset: 2px;
}
</style>
```

**Focus Indicators (WCAG 2.4.7)**
```css
/* NEVER do this */
*:focus { outline: none; } /* WCAG FAIL */

/* DO THIS - Custom focus styles */
:focus-visible {
  outline: 3px solid #005fcc;
  outline-offset: 2px;
}

/* Remove outline only for mouse users */
:focus:not(:focus-visible) {
  outline: none;
}

/* High contrast for interactive elements */
a:focus-visible,
button:focus-visible,
input:focus-visible,
select:focus-visible,
textarea:focus-visible,
[role="button"]:focus-visible {
  outline: 3px solid #005fcc;
  outline-offset: 2px;
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 6px rgba(0, 95, 204, 0.2);
}

/* Dark backgrounds need light focus */
.dark-bg :focus-visible {
  outline-color: #ffffff;
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 6px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
}
```

**Keyboard Navigation (WCAG 2.1.1, 2.1.2)**
```html
<!-- Custom interactive element needs keyboard support -->

<!-- BEFORE (inaccessible) -->
<div class="dropdown" onclick="toggleMenu()">
  Menu
</div>

<!-- AFTER (accessible) -->
<button type="button"
        class="dropdown-trigger"
        aria-expanded="false"
        aria-controls="dropdown-menu"
        onclick="toggleMenu()"
        onkeydown="handleKeydown(event)">
  Menu
</button>
<ul id="dropdown-menu" role="menu" hidden>
  <li role="none"><a role="menuitem" href="/page1">Page 1</a></li>
  <li role="none"><a role="menuitem" href="/page2">Page 2</a></li>
</ul>

<script>
function handleKeydown(event) {
  switch(event.key) {
    case 'Enter':
    case ' ':
      event.preventDefault();
      toggleMenu();
      break;
    case 'Escape':
      closeMenu();
      break;
    case 'ArrowDown':
      event.preventDefault();
      focusFirstMenuItem();
      break;
  }
}
</script>
```

**Modal Focus Trap (WCAG 2.4.3)**
```javascript
// Focus trap for modals - REQUIRED for WCAG compliance
function trapFocus(modal) {
  const focusable = modal.querySelectorAll(
    'button, [href], input, select, textarea, [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])'
  );
  const first = focusable[0];
  const last = focusable[focusable.length - 1];

  // Focus first element when modal opens
  first?.focus();

  modal.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
    if (e.key === 'Tab') {
      if (e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === first) {
        e.preventDefault();
        last.focus();
      } else if (!e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === last) {
        e.preventDefault();
        first.focus();
      }
    }
    if (e.key === 'Escape') {
      closeModal();
    }
  });
}

// Return focus when modal closes
function closeModal() {
  modal.hidden = true;
  triggerButton.focus(); // Return focus to trigger
}
```

**iframe Titles (WCAG 4.1.2)**
```html
<!-- All iframes MUST have descriptive titles -->
<iframe src="map.html" title="Store location map showing 5 nearby stores"></iframe>
<iframe src="video.html" title="Product demonstration video with captions"></iframe>
<iframe src="chat.html" title="Customer support chat window"></iframe>
```

## STEP 4: USER IMPACT ANALYSIS

For each violation, calculate user impact:

### 4.1: Affected User Groups
| Violation Type | Affected Groups | % of Users |
|----------------|-----------------|------------|
| Missing alt text | Blind, low-vision | 7-10% |
| Missing form labels | Blind, screen reader users | 5-8% |
| Low color contrast | Low-vision, color blind | 8-12% |
| No keyboard access | Motor impaired, power users | 10-15% |
| Missing captions | Deaf, hard-of-hearing | 5-7% |
| Flashing content | Seizure sensitive | 0.5-1% |
| Complex language | Cognitive impairment | 10-15% |

### 4.2: Impact Severity Classification
```
BLOCKS-USAGE: User cannot complete task at all
  - Missing form labels on required fields
  - Keyboard traps
  - Critical buttons without accessible names

IMPAIRS-USAGE: User can complete task with difficulty
  - Low contrast (can read with effort)
  - Missing skip links (tedious navigation)
  - Incorrect heading structure (confusing)

MINOR-INCONVENIENCE: Suboptimal but functional
  - Empty alt on decorative images
  - Redundant ARIA
  - Non-semantic HTML that works
```

---

## STEP 5: ROI-BASED PRIORITIZATION

Calculate priority for each remediation:

### 5.1: Priority Formula
```
PRIORITY_SCORE = (IMPACT_WEIGHT × USERS_AFFECTED) / EFFORT_HOURS

Where:
- IMPACT_WEIGHT: Critical=10, Serious=7, Moderate=4, Minor=1
- USERS_AFFECTED: Estimated % of users impacted
- EFFORT_HOURS: Estimated fix time (0.25 to 8 hours)
```

### 5.2: Effort Estimation Guide
| Fix Type | Effort | Complexity |
|----------|--------|------------|
| Add aria-label | 0.25h | Trivial |
| Add alt text | 0.25h | Trivial |
| Add form label | 0.5h | Simple |
| Fix color contrast | 0.5h | Simple |
| Add skip links | 1h | Simple |
| Fix heading structure | 2h | Medium |
| Add keyboard navigation | 4h | High |
| Implement focus trap | 4h | High |
| Add video captions | 8h | High |

### 5.3: Priority Output Format
```
| Rank | Violation | Impact | Users | Effort | ROI Score |
|------|-----------|--------|-------|--------|-----------|
| 1 | Form labels missing | Critical | 15% | 0.5h | 300 |
| 2 | Keyboard trap | Critical | 12% | 4h | 30 |
| 3 | Low contrast | Serious | 10% | 0.5h | 140 |
| 4 | Missing alt text | Serious | 8% | 0.25h | 224 |
```

---

## STEP 6: PRODUCTION READINESS ASSESSMENT

### 6.1: Compliance Scoring
```
COMPLIANCE_SCORE = (PASSED_CRITERIA / TOTAL_CRITERIA) × 100

Production Ready if:
✓ Score ≥ 85%
✓ Zero critical violations
✓ Fewer than 3 serious violations
✓ All user journeys keyboard accessible
```

### 6.2: POUR Analysis (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust)
```
| Principle | Guidelines | Pass | Fail | Score |
|-----------|-----------|------|------|-------|
| Perceivable | 1.1-1.4 | 12 | 3 | 80% |
| Operable | 2.1-2.5 | 18 | 2 | 90% |
| Understandable | 3.1-3.3 | 8 | 1 | 89% |
| Robust | 4.1 | 4 | 1 | 80% |
| **TOTAL** | | **42** | **7** | **86%** |
```

---

## STEP 7: VIDEO ACCESSIBILITY PIPELINE

**Execute for EACH video detected on page.**

### 7.1: Detect and Extract Video URLs (MANDATORY)

**This step MUST be integrated into STEP 2 multi-tool scan.**

Add this to the page.evaluate() in the multi-tool scan:
```javascript
// In pageInfo extraction (STEP 2), add:
videos: {
  elements: [...document.querySelectorAll('video')].map(v => ({
    src: v.src || v.querySelector('source')?.src,
    fullUrl: new URL(v.src || v.querySelector('source')?.src || '', window.location.href).href,
    poster: v.poster,
    hasCaptions: v.querySelector('track[kind="captions"]') !== null,
    hasDescriptions: v.querySelector('track[kind="descriptions"]') !== null,
    duration: v.duration || 'unknown',
    autoplay: v.autoplay,
    muted: v.muted
  })),
  iframes: [...document.querySelectorAll('iframe')].map(iframe => {
    const src = iframe.src;
    const isVideo = /youtube|vimeo|dailymotion|wistia/.test(src);
    return isVideo ? { src, platform: src.match(/(youtube|vimeo|dailymotion|wistia)/)?.[1] } : null;
  }).filter(Boolean)
}
```

**MANDATORY OUTPUT:** Log all video URLs found:
```
=== VIDEOS DETECTED ===
Video 1: https://example.com/promo.mp4 (no captions, no descriptions)
YouTube iframe: https://youtube.com/embed/xxx
```

### 7.2: Download and Extract Frames (MANDATORY for each video)

**For EACH video URL found in 7.1:**

```bash
# Create output directory
mkdir -p /tmp/a11y-work/frames

# Download video (with retry and user-agent)
curl -L -A "Mozilla/5.0" --retry 3 -o /tmp/a11y-work/video.mp4 "FULL_VIDEO_URL"

# Verify download succeeded
if [ -f /tmp/a11y-work/video.mp4 ] && [ -s /tmp/a11y-work/video.mp4 ]; then
  echo "Video downloaded successfully"
  ffmpeg -i /tmp/a11y-work/video.mp4 -vf "fps=1/3" -frames:v 10 /tmp/a11y-work/frames/frame_%02d.jpg 2>/dev/null
  echo "Extracted $(ls /tmp/a11y-work/frames/*.jpg 2>/dev/null | wc -l) frames"
else
  echo "VIDEO DOWNLOAD FAILED - Document this in audit-summary.md"
fi
```

**IF VIDEO DOWNLOAD FAILS:**
1. Document the failure reason in audit-summary.md
2. Still create video-captions violation in violations.json
3. Add remediation instructions WITHOUT generated captions
4. Mark video pipeline as "blocked" not "skipped"

### 7.3: Analyze Each Frame with Claude Vision (MANDATORY)

**USE THE READ TOOL ON EACH FRAME IMAGE.**

Claude Code has native vision capabilities. When you Read an image file, you SEE it.

```
Read /tmp/a11y-work/frames/frame_01.jpg
Read /tmp/a11y-work/frames/frame_02.jpg
Read /tmp/a11y-work/frames/frame_03.jpg
... (continue for all frames)
```

**For EACH frame, describe:**
- **SCENE**: Setting, environment, lighting, location
- **PEOPLE**: Who appears, what they're doing, expressions, clothing
- **PRODUCTS**: Items shown (for e-commerce: product names, colors, styles)
- **TEXT**: Any visible text, logos, signs, prices
- **ACTION**: Movement, transitions, what's happening

**Example output after reading frame_01.jpg:**
```
Frame 1 (0:00-0:03): A woman in white Adidas sneakers running on a forest trail.
Morning light filters through trees. She wears black athletic leggings and a
gray tank top. The Adidas three-stripe logo is visible on her shoes.
```

**THIS IS THE LLM VALUE.** Generic tools output "[DESCRIBE CONTENT]".
You output actual descriptions because you can SEE the image.

---

**FALLBACK: If Read tool fails on images**

Try Anthropic API directly:
```javascript
const Anthropic = require('@anthropic-ai/sdk');
const fs = require('fs');
const client = new Anthropic();

const imageData = fs.readFileSync('/tmp/a11y-work/frames/frame_01.jpg').toString('base64');
const response = await client.messages.create({
  model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514',
  max_tokens: 500,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: [
      { type: 'image', source: { type: 'base64', media_type: 'image/jpeg', data: imageData } },
      { type: 'text', text: 'Describe this video frame for accessibility captions.' }
    ]
  }]
});
```

**LAST RESORT: Context-Based Inference (No Vision)**
If vision completely unavailable, infer from:
- Video filename: "product-demo.mp4" → product demonstration
- Page context: product page → product showcase
- Surrounding text: nearby headings and descriptions

**Document for each frame:**
- **SCENE**: Setting, environment, lighting
- **PEOPLE**: Who, actions, expressions, clothing
- **OBJECTS**: Products, props, equipment
- **TEXT**: Visible text, logos, signs
- **ACTION**: Movement, transitions
- **COLORS**: Dominant colors, accessibility-relevant

### 7.4: Generate WebVTT Captions
```vtt
WEBVTT
Kind: captions
Language: {detected-language}

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
[Description from frame_01 analysis]

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.000
[Description from frame_02 analysis]
```

### 7.5: Generate Audio Descriptions
```vtt
WEBVTT
Kind: descriptions
Language: en

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
SCENE: [Detailed scene for blind users]
VISUAL: [What's on screen]
TEXT: [Any readable text]
ACTION: [What's happening]
```

---

## STEP 8: GENERATE COMPREHENSIVE REPORTS

### 8.1: Required Output Files
Save ALL files to `docs/accessibility-scans/{page-slug}/`:

---

## STEP 9: LEARNING PROTOCOL (When MCP Available)

Integrate with the learning system to improve over time.

### 9.1: Query Previous Patterns BEFORE Audit

Check if similar sites were audited before:
```javascript
// Load MCP tools
ToolSearch("select:mcp__claude-flow_alpha__memory_retrieve")
ToolSearch("select:mcp__claude-flow_alpha__hooks_intelligence_pattern_search")

// Retrieve domain-specific patterns
mcp__claude-flow_alpha__memory_retrieve({
  key: `accessibility/patterns/${domain}`,
  namespace: "learning"
})

// Search for similar violation patterns
mcp__claude-flow_alpha__hooks_intelligence_pattern_search({
  query: "accessibility remediation",
  type: "accessibility-fix",
  limit: 10
})
```

### 9.2: Store Successful Patterns AFTER Audit

Store patterns that worked for future reuse:
```javascript
ToolSearch("select:mcp__claude-flow_alpha__memory_store")
ToolSearch("select:mcp__claude-flow_alpha__hooks_intelligence_pattern_store")

// Store audit outcome
mcp__claude-flow_alpha__memory_store({
  key: `accessibility-audit/${domain}-${Date.now()}`,
  namespace: "learning",
  value: {
    url: auditedUrl,
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    violationsFound: violations.length,
    criticalCount: violations.filter(v => v.impact === 'critical').length,
    toolsUsed: ['axe-core', 'pa11y', 'lighthouse'],
    patterns: {
      commonViolations: extractTopViolationTypes(violations),
      effectiveFixes: extractFixesThatWorked(remediations)
    }
  }
})

// Store reusable remediation patterns
mcp__claude-flow_alpha__hooks_intelligence_pattern_store({
  pattern: "form-label-contextual-fix",
  confidence: 0.92,
  type: "accessibility-remediation",
  metadata: {
    wcagCriteria: "1.3.1, 3.3.2, 4.1.2",
    violationType: "missing-form-label",
    codeTemplate: "<label for=\"{id}\">{inferredLabel}</label>",
    contextSignals: ["placeholder", "nearby-text", "field-name"]
  }
})
```

### 9.3: Calculate Audit Quality Score

Self-assess audit completeness (for learning feedback):

| Criteria | Points | Your Score |
|----------|--------|------------|
| Multi-tool testing used (3 tools) | 20 | |
| All WCAG 2.2 AA criteria checked | 15 | |
| Context-aware fixes generated | 20 | |
| Confidence scores included | 10 | |
| ROI prioritization calculated | 10 | |
| Video pipeline completed (if applicable) | 15 | |
| EU compliance mapping included | 10 | |
| **Total** | **100** | |

**Quality Levels:**
- 90-100: Excellent (1.0 reward)
- 70-89: Good (0.8 reward)
- 50-69: Acceptable (0.5 reward)

- [ ] Page loaded and analyzed
- [ ] Multi-tool scan ran with **parallel execution**
- [ ] At least **1 of 3 tools succeeded** (graceful degradation)
- [ ] If tools failed, documented **which tools and why**
- [ ] Results saved to `/tmp/a11y-work/scan-results.json`

### Violation Analysis
- [ ] All violations extracted with WCAG criteria
- [ ] Context analyzed for each violation
- [ ] User impact calculated

### Remediation Generation
- [ ] Form label fixes with context and rationale
- [ ] Heading hierarchy fix with visualization
- [ ] Color contrast fixes with hex codes
- [ ] Alt text suggestions with confidence scores
- [ ] Skip link code (full HTML + CSS)
- [ ] Focus indicator CSS
- [ ] ARIA fixes with specific attributes
- [ ] Keyboard navigation fixes
- [ ] iframe titles

### Video Accessibility (MANDATORY if pageInfo.media.videos > 0)
- [ ] Video URLs extracted (full URLs, not relative)
- [ ] Download attempted for EACH video
- [ ] IF download succeeded: Frames extracted with ffmpeg
- [ ] IF download succeeded: Each frame analyzed with Read tool
- [ ] IF download succeeded: captions.vtt generated from ACTUAL frame descriptions
- [ ] IF download succeeded: audiodesc.vtt generated
- [ ] IF download FAILED: Failure documented in audit-summary.md with reason
- [ ] IF download FAILED: Manual captioning instructions in remediation.md

**BLOCKING:** Cannot generate final reports until video pipeline attempted.

### Output Files
- [ ] audit-summary.md with scores, priorities, and user impact
- [ ] remediation.md with ALL copy-paste code fixes
- [ ] violations.json with violation data
- [ ] VTT files (if videos)
- [ ] implementation.md (if videos)

### Quality Checks
- [ ] Compliance score calculated
- [ ] Production readiness assessed

## Critical Rules

### Execution Rules (v7.0)
1. **ALWAYS** run multi-tool scan with **parallel execution** (Promise.allSettled)
2. **ALWAYS** continue if at least **1 of 3 tools** succeeds (graceful degradation)
3. **ALWAYS** document which tools failed and why in audit-summary.md
4. **ALWAYS** use per-tool timeouts (60s/60s/90s) not global timeout
5. **ALWAYS** retry failed tools with exponential backoff before giving up

### Quality Rules
6. **ALWAYS** analyze context before generating fixes
7. **ALWAYS** include confidence scores with remediation
8. **ALWAYS** calculate user impact and ROI
9. **ALWAYS** generate copy-paste ready code
10. **NEVER** generate placeholder/template fixes
11. **NEVER** skip video pipeline if videos detected
12. **NEVER** complete without remediation.md
13. **NEVER** fail audit just because 1-2 tools failed (use graceful degradation)
