If $ARGUMENTS is provided, analyze that specific file.
If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user which file(s) to review, or offer to scan the project for component files.
1. Accessibility Review (WCAG 2.1)
Critical (Must Fix)
| Check | WCAG | What to look for |
|---|
| Images without alt | 1.1.1 | <img> without alt attribute |
| Icon-only buttons | 4.1.2 | <button> with only SVG/icon, no aria-label |
| Form inputs without labels | 1.3.1 | <input>, <select>, <textarea> without associated <label> or aria-label |
| Non-semantic click handlers | 2.1.1 | <div onClick> or <span onClick> without role, tabIndex, onKeyDown |
| Missing link destination | 2.1.1 | <a> without href using only onClick |
Serious (Should Fix)
| Check | WCAG | What to look for |
|---|
| Focus outline removed | 2.4.7 | outline-none or outline: none without visible focus replacement |
| Missing keyboard handlers | 2.1.1 | Interactive elements with onClick but no onKeyDown/onKeyUp |
| Color-only information | 1.4.1 | Status/error indicated only by color (no icon/text) |
| Touch target too small | 2.5.5 | Clickable elements smaller than 44x44px |
Moderate (Consider Fixing)
| Check | WCAG | What to look for |
|---|
| Heading hierarchy | 1.3.1 | Skipped heading levels (h1 → h3) |
| Positive tabIndex | 2.4.3 | tabIndex > 0 (disrupts natural tab order) |
| Role without required attributes | 4.1.2 | role="button" without tabIndex="0" |
