+# WCAG Audit Patterns
+
+Comprehensive guide to auditing web content against WCAG 2.2 guidelines with actionable remediation strategies.
+
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+- Conducting accessibility audits
+- Fixing WCAG violations
+- Implementing accessible components
+- Preparing for accessibility lawsuits
+- Meeting ADA/Section 508 requirements
+- Achieving VPAT compliance
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### 1. WCAG Conformance Levels
+
+| Level   | Description            | Required For      |
+| ------- | ---------------------- | ----------------- |
+| **A**   | Minimum accessibility  | Legal baseline    |
+| **AA**  | Standard conformance   | Most regulations  |
+| **AAA** | Enhanced accessibility | Specialized needs |
+
+### 2. POUR Principles
+
+```
+Perceivable:  Can users perceive the content?
+Operable:     Can users operate the interface?
+Understandable: Can users understand the content?
+Robust:       Does it work with assistive tech?
+```
+
+### 3. Common Violations by Impact
+
+```
+Critical (Blockers):
+├── Missing alt text for functional images
+├── No keyboard access to interactive elements
+├── Missing form labels
+└── Auto-playing media without controls
+
+Serious:
+├── Insufficient color contrast
+├── Missing skip links
+├── Inaccessible custom widgets
+└── Missing page titles
+
+Moderate:
+├── Missing language attribute
+├── Unclear link text
+├── Missing landmarks
+└── Improper heading hierarchy
+```

+## Automated Testing
+
+```javascript
+// axe-core integration
+const axe = require('axe-core');
+
+async function runAccessibilityAudit(page) {
+  await page.addScriptTag({ path: require.resolve('axe-core') });
+
+  const results = await page.evaluate(async () => {
+    return await axe.run(document, {
+      runOnly: {
+        type: 'tag',
+        values: ['wcag2a', 'wcag2aa', 'wcag21aa', 'wcag22aa']
+      }
+    });
+  });
+
+  return {
+    violations: results.violations,
+    passes: results.passes,
+    incomplete: results.incomplete
+  };
+}
+
+// Playwright test example
+test('should have no accessibility violations', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/');
+  const results = await runAccessibilityAudit(page);
+
+  expect(results.violations).toHaveLength(0);
+});
+```
+
+```bash
+# CLI tools
+npx @axe-core/cli https://example.com
+npx pa11y https://example.com
+lighthouse https://example.com --only-categories=accessibility
+```
+
+## Remediation Patterns
+
+### Fix: Missing Form Labels
+
+```html
+<!-- Before -->
+<input type="email" placeholder="Email" />
+
+<!-- After: Option 1 - Visible label -->
+<label for="email">Email address</label>
+<input id="email" type="email" />
+
+<!-- After: Option 2 - aria-label -->
+<input type="email" aria-label="Email address" />
+
+<!-- After: Option 3 - aria-labelledby -->
+<span id="email-label">Email</span>
+<input type="email" aria-labelledby="email-label" />
+```
+
+### Fix: Insufficient Color Contrast
+
+```css
+/* Before: 2.5:1 contrast */
+.text {
+  color: #767676;
+}
+
+/* After: 4.5:1 contrast */
+.text {
+  color: #595959;
+}
+
+/* Or add background */
+.text {
+  color: #767676;
+  background: #000;
+}
+```
+
+### Fix: Keyboard Navigation
+
+```javascript
+// Make custom element keyboard accessible
+class AccessibleDropdown extends HTMLElement {
+  connectedCallback() {
+    this.setAttribute("tabindex", "0");
+    this.setAttribute("role", "combobox");
+    this.setAttribute("aria-expanded", "false");
+
+    this.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => {
+      switch (e.key) {
+        case "Enter":
+        case " ":
+          this.toggle();
+          e.preventDefault();
+          break;
+        case "Escape":
+          this.close();
+          break;
+        case "ArrowDown":
+          this.focusNext();
+          e.preventDefault();
+          break;
+        case "ArrowUp":
+          this.focusPrevious();
+          e.preventDefault();
+          break;
+      }
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Do's
+
+- **Start early** - Accessibility from design phase
+- **Test with real users** - Disabled users provide best feedback
+- **Automate what you can** - 30-50% issues detectable
+- **Use semantic HTML** - Reduces ARIA needs
+- **Document patterns** - Build accessible component library
+
+### Don'ts
+
+- **Don't rely only on automated testing** - Manual testing required
+- **Don't use ARIA as first solution** - Native HTML first
+- **Don't hide focus outlines** - Keyboard users need them
+- **Don't disable zoom** - Users need to resize
+- **Don't use color alone** - Multiple indicators needed
