Accessibility Generator

Accessibility Generator

Generate accessibility infrastructure for VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and accessibility features.

When This Skill Activates

• User wants to improve app accessibility
• User mentions VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, or accessibility
• User needs to add accessibility labels and hints
• User wants to audit accessibility compliance

Pre-Generation Checks

bashCopy code
# Check existing accessibility usage
grep -r "accessibilityLabel\|accessibilityHint\|AccessibilityFocused" --include="*.swift" | head -5

Key Features

Accessibility Labels

swiftCopy code
Image(systemName: "heart.fill")
    .accessibilityLabel("Favorite")
    .accessibilityHint("Double tap to remove from favorites")

Dynamic Type Support

swiftCopy code
Text("Title")
    .font(.title)  // Scales automatically
    .dynamicTypeSize(...DynamicTypeSize.accessibility3)  // Limit max size

Reduce Motion

swiftCopy code
@Environment(\.accessibilityReduceMotion) private var reduceMotion

withAnimation(reduceMotion ? nil : .spring()) {
    // Animation
}

VoiceOver Groups

swiftCopy code
VStack {
    Text("Item Name")
    Text("$9.99")
}
.accessibilityElement(children: .combine)

Visual Accessibility: Numbers and APIs (WWDC20)

SwiftUI mirrors most of these as environment values (\.accessibilityReduceMotion above, plus \.accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor, \.legibilityWeight, \.accessibilityReduceTransparency).

Deep Patterns (accessibility-patterns.md)

The full recipes live in accessibility-patterns.md:

• Label-writing rules — context ladder, no control types, succinctness, localize (WWDC19 254)
• Custom actions doctrine — clutter/speed rationale, hide replaced buttons, widget intents (WWDC19 250, WWDC24 10073)
• Custom rotors, UIKit and SwiftUI (WWDC20 10116, WWDC21 10119)
• Data-rich rows via the More Content rotor / AXCustomContent (WWDC21 10121)
• Announcements with priorities, .isToggle, zoom, direct touch, block-based setters (WWDC23 10036)
• Custom-control technique selection: adjustable vs passthrough vs custom actions vs direct touch (WWDC26 220)
• Switch Control grouping and timeout rules (WWDC20 10019); Full Keyboard Access (WWDC21 10120)
• Reading-app text navigation, page turns, UITextInput adoption (WWDC26 219)

Inclusive Design Principles (WWDC25)

• About 1 in 7 people has a disability — accessibility features are mainstream features.
• Provide information through multiple senses: captions for audio, audible/haptic paths for visual cues.
• Support multiple input methods — touch, keyboard, voice, switch — for every action.
• Larger Text scales text up to ~3x — layouts must reflow, not clip or overlap.
• Inclusion is iterative, not one-time — re-audit each release, not just before launch.

Audit Checklist

• All interactive elements have labels
• Images have descriptions or are hidden decoratively
• Color is not the only indicator
• Touch targets are at least 44×44 points
• Dynamic Type is supported
• Reduce Motion is respected
• VoiceOver order is logical
• Custom controls expose purpose, value, actions, and feedback (WWDC26 220)
• Automated audit + Nutrition Label evaluation — see ios/accessibility-audit
