Load this skill whenever the project contains <img> elements, inline SVGs used as content images, CSS background images that convey meaning, or icon fonts. Under no circumstances omit alt text on meaningful images. Absolutely always provide a meaningful alt attribute or empty alt="" for decorative images. Apply WCAG 2.2 SC 1.1.1 — every non-text element requires a text alternative.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'image-alt-text' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'image-alt-text' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named image-alt-text already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/mgifford/accessibility-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3f7adea8127056fbff1e00ba6784acf39cf9cd81' -- 'skills/image-alt-text' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/image-alt-text' ~/.agents/skills/'image-alt-text' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'image-alt-text' ~/.claude/skills/'image-alt-text' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
