Purpose

The Remediate phase fixes the accessibility issues found in the audit, starting with critical barriers. It applies common remediation patterns and tracks progress.

Usage

/accessibility:remediate <target>

Example:

/accessibility:remediate checkout-flow

Prerequisites

Requires .metapowers/accessibility/<target>/03-report.md from the Report phase. Use --skip-checks to bypass.

What It Does

Reads the prioritized findings from the report
Fixes issues by severity: Critical, then Major, then Minor
Applies remediation patterns (alt text, ARIA, contrast, keyboard, focus, forms)
Commits each fix or group of related fixes
Logs progress: fixed, deferred, or needs design decision
Writes the log to .metapowers/accessibility/<target>/04-remediate.md

Output

Creates .metapowers/accessibility/<target>/04-remediate.md containing:

Fixes applied with commit hashes
Deferred issues with reasons
Design decisions needed
New considerations discovered during remediation

Next Phase

After remediation, proceed to Retest to verify fixes and produce a conformance statement.
