Markdown Accessibility Scanner
Scans Markdown files for WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility compliance across nine specific domains to ensure inclusive documentation.
The Markdown Accessibility Scanner is a specialized auditor designed to enforce accessibility standards within technical documentation. It systematically evaluates Markdown files against WCAG 2.2 AA requirements, covering critical areas such as heading hierarchies, descriptive link text, image alt text, and table structures. Beyond basic linting, the skill provides deep analysis of complex elements like Mermaid diagrams, ASCII art, and emoji usage, generating structured findings with severity levels and suggested fixes to help developers eliminate cognitive and structural barriers in their content.
