WCAG Game Accessibility Auditor
Audit game UI against WCAG 2.1 standards and generate accessibility remediation priorities
What You Can Do
You can conduct comprehensive accessibility audits of game UI/UX systems using WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards as your baseline while accounting for platform-specific requirements (console, PC, mobile) and gaming-specific barriers like motion-induced discomfort, color-reliant communication, rapid interactions, and audio-dependent information. The skill generates prioritized remediation strategies that balance accessibility improvements with gameplay integrity, enabling you to document compliance gaps and create actionable improvement plans for your development team.
Features
systematically evaluate UI elements against perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness criteria
identify motion sickness triggers, color-dependency issues, rapid-fire interaction problems, controller remapping complexity, and audio-reliant information
audit against PlayStation, Xbox, Steam Deck, and mobile accessibility standards alongside WCAG
categorize findings by severity (critical/major/minor) and effort to guide resource allocation
generate accessibility statements, feature checklists, and certification-ready reports for platform submission
catch accessibility gaps before implementation to reduce rework costs
evaluate accessibility compliance of existing UI systems, asset packs, and middleware
Example Output
Audit Summary Example:
Critical Barriers (Fix First):
- Color-only status indicators in competitive HUD — players with color blindness cannot distinguish team status
- Remediation: Add icon/pattern differentiation to all color-coded elements
- Effort: Low | Timeline: 1 sprint
Major Barriers:
- Menu navigation requires rapid button inputs; no hold-to-select option available
- Remediation: Implement adjustable input timing and toggle alternative
- Effort: Medium | Timeline: 2 sprints
Minor Barriers:
- Subtitle text size at 12px fails readability at 4-5 feet viewing distance
- Remediation: Scale to minimum 16px; add user-adjustable sizing slider
- Effort: Low | Timeline: 0.5 sprint
Compliance Score: 64% → Target 90% (WCAG Level AA)

Get a step-by-step launch strategy tailored to your specific business model. This skill analyzes your offering, target market, and resources to create a realistic, phased launch plan with timing, marketing tactics, and success metrics. You'll receive competitor analysis, positioning recommendations, and a 90-day execution roadmap.
You can systematize pixel art animation organization by analyzing your game's animation requirements, calculating optimal sprite sheet dimensions, planning color palette strategies, and generating frame sequence documentation. Claude helps you move from manual guesswork to data-driven asset optimization, reducing revisions during engine integration and saving hours on layout iterations.
You'll architect complete HUD design systems that establish consistency across multi-screen game interfaces. This skill generates design tokens, component hierarchies, responsive behavior specifications, and accessibility compliance matrices—bridging the gap between design intent and developer implementation. You'll produce unambiguous handoff documentation that reduces designer-developer friction and ensures WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance.
You can rapidly categorize network issues (latency vs. sync vs. bandwidth), instrument networked game systems for visibility, identify common netcode anti-patterns by their telltale signatures, generate reproducible test cases for various network conditions, debug server-client state reconciliation failures, and profile network code paths to optimize bandwidth. This skill transforms vague player reports into actionable diagnosis data that pinpoints whether desynchronization, rubber-banding, packet loss, or authority violations are the root cause.
You can map puzzle constraints across multiple difficulty dimensions—mechanical complexity, cognitive load, time pressure, and solution discovery paths—then translate subjective difficulty assessments into measurable parameters. This allows you to identify difficulty spikes before production, communicate design intent clearly to your team, and iterate on puzzle balance using playtester data and performance metrics.
This skill lets you leverage Gemini CLI as a complementary AI tool within your Claude-driven workflows. You can request code reviews from a different AI perspective, access current web information through Google Search integration, analyze complex codebase architectures, run parallel code generation tasks, and handle specialized operations like test suite generation or documentation—all while Claude coordinates the orchestration and results integration.
You can analyze pixel art assets for game engine compatibility, generate optimal color palette recommendations, organize sprite sheets with proper naming conventions and frame sequences, and create technical documentation that game programmers need for asset handoff. This skill ensures your pixel art meets performance constraints, follows industry standards, and integrates smoothly into Unity, Godot, or Unreal without iteration delays.
You can systematically design menu hierarchies and interaction flows that feel responsive and intuitive for game players. This skill helps you map complete player journeys through nested menus, define state transitions for complex scenarios (like pause-while-paused), establish consistent interaction patterns across your UI, and identify edge cases before implementation. You'll document specifications that programmers and junior designers can follow, ensuring accessible navigation that respects controller/keyboard constraints and 100ms feedback expectations.
