Ask Claude to Add Accessibility Attributes to Your HTML and Components
Most accessibility issues aren't hard to fix — they're just easy to forget. Claude reads your templates, spots what's missing, and adds the attributes that make your UI work for everyone.
"Scan the components in src/components/ and add missing accessibility attributes"
Claude checks each component for common accessibility gaps and fixes them:
<!-- Before: missing accessibility -->
<button onclick="closeModal()">X</button>
<img src="hero.jpg">
<div onclick="handleClick()">Click me</div>
<!-- After: Claude adds what's needed -->
<button onclick="closeModal()" aria-label="Close dialog">X</button>
<img src="hero.jpg" alt="Team collaborating around a whiteboard">
<button onclick="handleClick()">Click me</button>
You can focus on specific areas:
# Fix form accessibility
"Add proper labels, error descriptions, and aria attributes to all forms"
# Fix interactive elements
"Make sure every clickable element is keyboard accessible and has proper focus styles"
# Fix images and media
"Add alt text to every image — descriptive for content images, empty for decorative ones"
# Fix navigation
"Add ARIA landmarks, skip links, and proper heading hierarchy to the layout"
Claude catches issues that are easy to miss:
- Missing labels — inputs without associated
<label>elements oraria-label - Non-semantic elements —
<div>used as buttons, links, or navigation - Missing alt text — images without
altattributes - Color-only indicators — status shown only by color without a text or icon alternative
- Focus traps — modals and dropdowns that trap keyboard focus incorrectly
- Missing live regions — dynamic content updates that screen readers can't detect
For a quick full-page audit:
"Read this page component and list every accessibility issue, then fix them all"
Accessibility isn't a feature — it's a baseline. Claude adds the attributes you forgot so everyone can use what you built.

Log in to leave a comment.
Set up Claude Code as an automated reviewer in your CI pipeline — on every pull request, it reads the diff, checks for bugs, security issues, missing tests, and convention violations, then posts its findings as a PR comment. Your human reviewers get a head start because the obvious issues are already flagged before they look.
Before deploying, tell Claude to read your project — migrations, environment variables, queue workers, scheduled tasks, caching, third-party integrations — and generate a deployment checklist that's specific to your app. Not a generic "did you run migrations?" list, but one that knows YOUR infrastructure and catches the things YOUR deploy can break.
Instead of writing a README from memory or copying a template, tell Claude to read your project and generate one that's actually accurate — real setup instructions from your config, real architecture from your directory structure, real API examples from your routes, and real prerequisites from your dependency files.
