mcp-generate-instructions
This skill should be used when the user asks to "generate accessibility instructions", "add axe instructions to my repo", "bake a11y into my coding agent", "create copilot-instructions for accessibility", "set up CLAUDE.md for axe", or runs /axe-accessibility:mcp-generate-instructions. It writes or updates agent-instruction files (CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, Cursor rules, or AGENTS.md) that enforce the Axe MCP analyze -> remediate -> verify workflow, including on-request guided tests.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "dequelabs/axe-accessibility:skills/mcp-generate-instructions" into this agent's normal skills directory: use the OMGSkills MCP get_skill tool, install only the pinned_install commit and path, verify SKILL.md against pinned_install.skill_md_sha, and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-accessibility /tmp/axe-accessibility && ln -s /tmp/axe-accessibility/skills/mcp-generate-instructions ~/.claude/skills/mcp-generate-instructions
From README
Generate accessibility agent instructions Produce agent-instruction files that make a coding agent automatically run Deque's Axe MCP analyze -> remediate -> verify workflow whenever it touches UI. The goal is the same effect as a hand-written copilot-instructions.md: every UI change is checked and fixed against the axe engine before it is considered done. Step 1 — Determine targets Targets and their files: | Target | File | |---|---| | claude | CLAUDE.md (repo root) | | copilot | .github/copilot-instructions.md | | cursor | .cursor/rules/accessibility.mdc (fallback .cursorrules) | | agents | AGENTS.md (repo root) | If $1 specifies targets (claude, copilot, cursor, agents, or all), use them. Otherwise detect what already exists in the repo with Glob (CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .cursor/, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md) and confirm the set with AskUserQuestion — default to the files already present, offering to add others.
