# Accessibility, Skill Entry

This skill is the canonical accessibility reference contract for HVE Core. Agents and instructions invoke this skill by name and rely on it to own framework reference resolution, phase guidance resolution, and the scanner CLI entrypoint.

## Framework references

* [WCAG 2.2](references/frameworks/wcag-22.md)
* [ARIA Authoring Practices Guide](references/frameworks/aria-apg.md)
* [Cognitive Accessibility Guidance](references/frameworks/coga.md)
* [Section 508](references/frameworks/section-508.md)
* [EN 301 549](references/frameworks/en-301-549.md)
* [Graphics ARIA and SVG-AAM](references/frameworks/graphics-aria-svg-aam.md)

Assessment reference (cross-cutting, not a conformance framework):

* [Assistive-technology announcement model](references/frameworks/at-announcement-model.md), read this when deciding the announcement-class criteria (WCAG 1.3.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3): what a screen-reader user should hear, and how to decide it with an accessibility-tree assertion or a manual AT pass.

## Accessibility Planner workflow

The Accessibility Planner runs six phases, each keyed to a state id:

1. Phase 1, Discovery (`discovery`)
2. Phase 2, Framework Selection (`framework-selection`)
3. Phase 3, Standards Mapping (`standards-mapping`)
4. Phase 4, Plan Risk Assessment (`plan-risk-assessment`)
5. Phase 5, Impact and Evidence (`impact-evidence`)
6. Phase 6, Backlog Handoff (`backlog-handoff`)
