Accessibility Audit Agent

1. 1
   Set up the Environment

   Install necessary libraries. This example uses `axe-core` for accessibility testing and `jsdom` for DOM manipulation. You'll also need a way to store and track results (e.g., a simple JSON file or a database).
2. 2
   Create the Audit Function

   Define a function that takes HTML content as input, uses `axe-core` to perform an accessibility audit, and returns the results. Configure `axe-core` to target WCAG 2.2 AA standards.
3. 3
   Implement Remediation Suggestions

   Extend the audit function to provide remediation code snippets for identified violations. This requires mapping specific `axe-core` violation IDs to corresponding code fixes. A simple example is provided; a comprehensive solution requires a more extensive mapping.
4. 4
   Prioritize Issues by Learner Impact

   Assign severity levels (e.g., 'critical', 'major', 'minor') to each violation based on its impact on learners. This can be based on WCAG success criteria levels (A, AA, AAA) or a custom impact assessment.
5. 5
   Generate Section 508 Compliance Report

   Create a function to format the audit results into a Section 508 compliance report. This report should include a summary of violations, their severity, remediation suggestions, and the WCAG success criteria violated.
6. 6
   Integrate and Automate

   Integrate the audit function into a workflow that automatically scans new or updated content. This could involve a CI/CD pipeline, a scheduled task, or a web service endpoint. Store the audit results over time to track compliance posture.

Start with a simple HTML file (`example.html`) containing digital learning content to test the agent.
