Design
Accessibility Repair
Fix access barriers without silencing checks or weakening the standard.
Use when
A site or app needs a defined accessibility target and repeatable testing.
Cadence
Before launch or when audits fail
Verification
No confirmed accessibility blocker remains in the agreed pages, components, or tasks.
Structured loop spec
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Accessibility Repair |
| Category | Design |
| Trigger | Before launch or when audits fail |
| Objective | Fix access barriers without silencing checks or weakening the standard. |
| Allowed inputs | Relevant files, source notes, logs, tests, screenshots, metrics, or task state for this loop |
| Allowed actions | Define the exact scope, source of truth, and approval boundary.; Inspect current state and rank the highest-risk gap.; Make one small, reversible improvement.; Run the stated verification and record evidence.; Stop on success, budget, no progress, or approval required. |
| Verification | No confirmed accessibility blocker remains in the agreed pages, components, or tasks. |
| Stop condition | Stop when the verifier passes, the budget is exhausted, no progress is made, a blocker appears, or approval is required. |
| Budget | Set a time, turn, token, retry, file, or dollar cap before running the loop. |
| Approval boundary | Human approval required before publishing, sending, deleting, spending, changing accounts, touching production, or making reputational/legal/financial commitments. |
| Safe output | Draft, report, checklist, table, or approval-gated recommendation |

Steps
- Define the exact scope, source of truth, and approval boundary.
- Inspect current state and rank the highest-risk gap.
- Make one small, reversible improvement.
- Run the stated verification and record evidence.
- Stop on success, budget, no progress, or approval required.
Prompt
Run the Accessibility Repair loop. Use it when A site or app needs a defined accessibility target and repeatable testing. Work in bounded iterations: inspect current state, choose the highest-risk gap, make one reversible improvement, verify it, and record evidence. Stop when No confirmed accessibility blocker remains in the agreed pages, components, or tasks. or when blocked, budget exhausted, or approval is required.Run in Claude Code
Paste this into Claude Code (or any tool-using agent) to run the loop bounded: one change per round, the same verification every round, durable state files, and explicit stop conditions.
Run the "Accessibility Repair" loop from AI Loop Library (https://ailooplibrary.com/loops/accessibility-repair/) as a bounded loop.
Goal: Fix access barriers without silencing checks or weakening the standard.
Rules: one change per round; run the same verification every round (No confirmed accessibility blocker remains in the agreed pages, components, or tasks.); append each round to docs/loops/accessibility-repair/progress.md and update docs/loops/accessibility-repair/state.json; stop on verifier pass, 8 rounds, 3 consecutive failed verifications, no progress, a blocker, or anything needing human approval (money, production, outbound, deletion). Finish with a proof report: rounds used, changes made, verification output, remaining risk, and the next human decision.
