Implement "Skip to Content" links
SkillMediaskip-link is a skill that guides an AI agent through reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, and design-system patterns related to Implement 'Skip to Content' links. It helps check that web pages have working skip-to-content accessibility links. The agent checks native semantics first, then keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.

Then ask your AI: use the Implement "Skip to Content" links skill
What your AI can do with it
- Review rendered HTML for skip-to-content links
- Check native semantics before other inspection
- Inspect keyboard behavior and focus flow
- Verify accessible names on components
- Check screen-reader output where relevant
- Review design-system patterns for skip links
Getting started
- Have the rendered HTML, interactive component, or design-system pattern you want reviewed available.
- Ask your agent to use the skip-link skill when reviewing for 'Skip to Content' links.
- Let the agent check native semantics first, then keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output.
What this skill tells your AI

Fix
Add a skip link that becomes visible on focus and targets the main content area.
Explain
Explain how skip links benefit users who navigate via keyboard by allowing them to bypass repetitive menus.
