What it does

Keep a CometChat integration accessible — the UI Kit is designed targeting WCAG 2.1 AA with keyboard navigation (verify per component in its docs; full conformance still needs manual testing), and this skill makes sure the HOST app doesn't break that, covering contrast, focus, screen-reader context, reduced motion, RTL, and calls accessibility. Cross-family. Triggers: 'is cometchat accessible', 'WCAG / 508 / ADA compliance', 'screen reader support', 'keyboard navigation', 'a11y audit', 'accessible chat', 'contrast/focus issues in chat'.

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

--- name: cometchat-a11y license: "MIT" compatibility: "CometChat UI Kits (React v7 · Angular v5 · React Native v5 · iOS v5 · Android v6 · Flutter v6). Kit components are designed targeting WCAG 2.1 AA + keyboard navigation (the Angular docs state this explicitly; other families are not individually documented, and full conformance needs manual testing / a VPAT). Host wiring is per platform." metadata: author: "CometChat" version: "1.0.0" tags: "cometchat a11y accessibility wcag screen-reader keyboard focus contrast rtl section508" ---
12> **Ground truth:** the UI Kit components are documented as **designed targeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA** with **keyboard navigation** built in (the Angular component docs state this most explicitly; note the docs' own caveat that full conformance still requires manual testing — do not assert a blanket AA/VPAT claim to the user without it). Treat AA as the design target, not a certified guarantee. Accessibility failures in a CometChat app are almost always **host-side regressions** — global CSS, a broken focus order, a container with no accessible name, or motion that ignores the user's preference. Verify component-level a11y claims against the component's own docs page (cometchat-<family>-components → docs-map); this skill owns the host-side discipline the kit can't control.

14## Use this skill when
15An accessibility review (WCAG / Section 508 / ADA / EN 301 549), a screen-reader or keyboard complaint, or "make our chat accessible." Procurement for public-sector, education, healthcare and large enterprises requires this.
16
17## Start from what the kit gives you
18The kit ships accessible components: keyboard-operable lists/composer, focus handling, and semantics **designed targeting** AA (the design target — not a certified guarantee; see above). On web it sets ARIA roles and names itself — the conversation/user rosters render as a labelled listbox and manage roving focus — so don't override or strip them. Your job is to **not break it** and to make the surrounding app equally accessible. Two rules first:
191. **Don't let global CSS leak into the .cometchat subtree** (web) — a global outline:none, a low-contrast override, a text-align/flex reset, or a Tailwind base can strip focus rings or break contrast the kit set correctly. Scope your resets away from the kit (RULES.md → CSS isolation).
202. **Give the chat container a real, labelled home** — a sized region (a11y needs a visible, non-collapsed surface too) with an accessible name (e.g. an aria-label/landmark on web, an accessibility label on native) so screen-reader users can find and enter it.
21
22## The checklist (host-side)
23- **Keyboard:** every path reachable and operable by keyboard — open a conversation, type, send, open thread, close. Don't trap focus; return focus sensibly when a panel/dialog closes. Don't remove focus outlines; if you restyle them, keep a visible focus indicator.
24- **Screen reader:** the surface and its regions have accessible names; your own buttons around the kit have labels (not icon-only with no aria-label/accessibility label). New-message announcements: verify the kit's live-region behavior on your target reader (VoiceOver/NVDA/TalkBack) and don't suppress it with aria-hidden on an ancestor.
25- **Contrast:** if you theme the kit (cometchat-<family>-customization), keep text/UI contrast at **AA** (4.5:1 text, 3:1 large text/UI). Check both light and dark themes — a brand color that passes on light can fail on dark.
26- **Reduced motion:** honor prefers-reduced-motion (web) / the OS "reduce motion" setting (native) in any animation you add around the chat; don't force motion the user opted out of.
27- **Text scaling / zoom:** the surface must remain usable at 200% zoom / large Dynamic Type — don't cap font sizes or clip at large text.
28- **RTL:** direction-correct for RTL locales (pairs with cometchat-i18n).
29- **Targets:** your custom controls meet the minimum touch-target size; don't shrink the kit's.

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈280

The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.

0.79%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 8% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

1.6k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Middling. Fine to keep on in a project where you use it weekly, worth unloading in one where you never do.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

1 file, 6.3 kB on disk. A bundle is text throughout: the instructions the model reads, plus the templates it fills in.

  • SKILL.md6.3 kB
What is not in it

No dependencies and nothing executable: a skill is text the agent reads, so the bundle is 1 file you can review in full before installing. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Cometchat A11y · 1.6k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/cometchat-a11y/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/cometchat-a11y" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/cometchat-a11y ] || { mv .claude/skills/cometchat-a11y "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/cometchat-a11y" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/cometchat-a11y"

npx mcprush@latest skill add cometchat/cometchat-a11y

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/cometchat-a11y/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/cometchat-a11y/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/cometchat-a11y" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/cometchat-a11y ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/cometchat-a11y "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/cometchat-a11y" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/cometchat-a11y" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/cometchat-a11y/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

v1.0.0 is what is on the shelf; no release here carries a date. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

v1.0.0
  • No earlier releases have been published to the marketplace.
Pinning

The install command always fetches the release that is current the day you run it — v1.0.0 today — and cannot ask for an earlier one. The copy on your disk does not change until you run it again.
