Aria Tooltip Name

Testing & Quality
aria-tooltip-name

Aria Tooltip Name 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 Provide accessible names for tooltips. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.

  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-tooltip-name/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/aria-tooltip-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 tooltips

Tooltips often contain essential information; if they aren't properly named or associated with an element, that information remains hidden from screen reader users.

Quick Reference

  • Tooltips must have an accessible name or be referenced by aria-describedby
  • Ensure the tooltip content is actually accessible to assistive technology
  • Verify that tooltips are correctly associated with their trigger elements

Check

Verify that all elements with role="tooltip" have an accessible name or are linked to a trigger element via aria-describedby.

Fix

Assign an accessible name to the tooltip or ensure it is correctly referenced by the element it describes.

Explain

Explain how to correctly associate tooltips with triggers so that screen readers announce the extra information.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Provide accessible names for tooltips. 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.
