The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 65
Does Not Support — majority of functionality does not meet
- Distinctive: line 66
Not Applicable — criterion is not relevant to the product
- Distinctive: line 81
All of the above, plus:
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Legal Compliance Mapping Skill
Maps accessibility legal frameworks across jurisdictions. Used by compliance-mapping agent and any agent generating compliance reports.

| Chapter 6 | Real-time text (RTT) communication | Yes — no WCAG equivalent |
| Chapter 7 | Video capabilities (captions, audio description) | Extends WCAG 1.2 |
| Chapter 8 | Hardware accessibility | Yes — physical product requirements |
| Chapter 10 | Non-web documents | Maps WCAG to document formats |
| Chapter 11 | Non-web software | Maps WCAG to native applications |

VPAT / ACR Mapping
The Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) maps to three standards:
| VPAT Edition | Standards Covered |
| VPAT 2.5 Section 508 | Revised Section 508 (WCAG 2.0 AA) |
| VPAT 2.5 EU | EN 301 549 (WCAG 2.1 AA + Chapters 5-13) |
| VPAT 2.5 INT | Section 508 + EN 301 549 + WCAG 2.x |
Conformance levels in VPAT:
- Supports — fully meets the criterion
- Partially Supports — some functionality meets, some does not
- Does Not Support — majority of functionality does not meet
- Not Applicable — criterion is not relevant to the product
Accessibility Statement Requirements
W3C Model (Voluntary)
- Conformance status (Fully conformant / Partially conformant / Non-conformant)
- WCAG version and level targeted
- Known limitations with workarounds
- Assessment approach (self, external, automated tools)
- Feedback mechanism with response commitment
- Date of statement and last review
EU Model (Required for Public Sector)
All of the above, plus:
- Disproportionate burden declaration (if applicable, with justification)
- Link to national enforcement body
- Annual review requirement
- Date of last accessibility audit

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
