Aria Required Attr

Testing & Quality
aria-required-attr

Aria Required Attr is an Agent Skill for testing & quality 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 Include required ARIA attributes for roles. 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-required-attr/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/aria-required-attr, 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.

Include required ARIA attributes for roles

Certain ARIA roles are incomplete without their required attributes, preventing assistive technologies from correctly communicating the element's state or value.

Quick Reference

  • Identify roles that require specific state or property attributes
  • Ensure attributes like aria-valuenow for sliders are present
  • Validate that all required ARIA attributes are correctly implemented

Check

Verify that all ARIA roles have their mandatory attributes as defined by the WAI-ARIA specification.

Fix

Add the missing required ARIA attributes to elements with specific roles (e.g., aria-valuenow for role="slider").

Explain

Explain how required ARIA attributes provide critical state information that screen readers need to function correctly.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Include required ARIA attributes for roles. 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.

For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see references/rule.md.
