Aria Meter Name

Design
aria-meter-name

Aria Meter Name is an Agent Skill for design published in the thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Provide accessible names for meter elements. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.

How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist/blob/HEAD/skills/aria-meter-name/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/aria-meter-name, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

Provide accessible names for meter elements

A meter represents a scalar measurement; without a label, a user might hear a value (e.g., '50%') but have no idea if it refers to battery life, storage space, or a password strength.

Quick Reference

  • The <meter> element or role="meter" must have an accessible label
  • Use aria-label or aria-labelledby to provide context
  • Helps users understand what measurement is being displayed

Check

Check for <meter> elements or elements with role="meter" that lack an accessible name.

Fix

Add an aria-label or aria-labelledby to the meter element to describe the measurement.

Explain

Explain why measurements need context through accessible names for screen reader users.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Provide accessible names for meter elements. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.
