File Upload Accessibility

Design
file-upload-accessibility

File Upload Accessibility 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 templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Make file uploads accessible. Validate the final browser-facing markup, not just the source framework abstraction.

QUICK START

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/file-upload-accessibility/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/file-upload-accessibility, 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.

Make file uploads accessible

Unlabeled file inputs and inaccessible drag zones exclude screen reader and keyboard users from completing file upload tasks.

Quick Reference

  • Always associate labels with file inputs
  • Clearly communicate accepted file types and size limits
  • Provide accessible progress feedback during uploads
  • Make drag-and-drop zones keyboard accessible

Check

Verify file inputs have proper labels, accept attributes for file types, and accessible feedback for upload progress and errors.

Fix

Implement file uploads with visible labels, accept attribute restrictions, drag-and-drop alternatives, and ARIA live region feedback.

Explain

Explain how accessible file uploads provide clear instructions, feedback, and work for users relying on assistive technologies.

Code Review

Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Make file uploads accessible. Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule.
