About this capability
Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Wrap definition items in a definition list. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by thedaviddias/front-end-checklist in skills/dlitem/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Standalone <dt> or <dd> elements lose their semantic meaning and fail to provide the context needed for assistive technologies to link terms with definitions.
Quick Reference
- Place all <dt> (terms) and <dd> (descriptions) within a <dl>
- Avoid using description list items as standalone elements
- Ensure proper grouping of related metadata or glossary terms
Check
Locate any <dt> or <dd> elements that are not children of a <dl> element.
Fix
Wrap orphaned <dt> and <dd> elements in a parent <dl> container.
Explain
Explain why <dt> and <dd> must be contained within a <dl> for correct semantic association.
Code Review
Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Wrap definition items in a definition list. 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.
