dsh-a11y-scan

WCAG audits on front-end codebases tend to be ad-hoc, time-consuming, and uneven across developers. dsh-a11y-scan turns the axe-core scanner into a drop-in DSH tool: give it a single HTML file, a build-output folder (Vite, Next.js dist, etc.), or a user-confirmed URL, and it returns a structured report where every violation carries its rule ID, impact severity, the matching WCAG 2.1 criterion (such as 1.4.3 Contrast), the affected element selector, a failure summary, a concrete remediation tip, and a link to the official accessibility quickref.

The scanner is strictly read-only—it never rewrites source files. You can export results as Markdown, a self-contained offline HTML file, or raw JSON, so the output fits into documentation, stakeholder emails, or automated pipelines without extra tooling. Findings that axe-core cannot resolve automatically (focus-order logic, keyboard-only interaction paths, screen-reader reading order) are surfaced as a dedicated manual-review checklist sitting alongside the machine-detected violations, ensuring nothing important is lost between the two passes.

As a programmable, single-call tool, a11y_scan returns a structured object that plugs directly into CI gates, Workflow pipelines, or agent loops. It is built for front-end teams that want deterministic accessibility checks on every merge rather than a pre-launch scramble, for design and product people who need periodic compliance snapshots, and for hybrid workflows where an automated scan surfaces the hit list first and a conversational agent interprets the borderline findings second.
