Release notes

last updated 2026-05-06

2026-05-06 — Skill v0.2.0

Pinned the agent skill at metadata.version 0.2.0 so installs are versionable and indexable.
Itemized-checklist plan: every fix proposed by the skill is its own row the user can keep or skip — no monolithic “approve all”.
Design-matching guardrails: the skill must read the project’s existing layout and styles before adding any user-facing content.

2026-05-05 — Open agent skill

Installable into any spec-compliant agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode — with npx skills add timothyjordan/a14y.
Published the a14y agent skill under /.well-known/agent-skills/ per the Cloudflare Agent Skills Discovery RFC.
Every page on a14y.dev advertises the skill via <link rel="agent-skills"> so agents can pick it up automatically.

2026-05-03 — Crawler hygiene

Crawler stops chasing phantom URLs harvested from .md mirrors, so site-mode audits no longer surface non-routes as failing pages.

2026-04-28 — Telemetry across all surfaces

Anonymous GA4 events from the CLI, the Chrome extension, and the docs site so we can see which checks people actually rely on.
Opt-out is one click on the docs at /privacy/, one toggle in the extension options, and --no-telemetry on the CLI.

2026-04-23 — Renamed `agentready` → `a14y`, default-command CLI, dark mode

Project name and npm package are now a14y — the homophone of “a11y” makes the agent-readability framing legible at a glance. The legacy package names remain installed as aliases.
a14y check <url> is the default CLI invocation; the bare a14y <url> form also works for quick audits.
Manual light/dark toggle on a14y.dev with the user’s choice winning over OS preference.

PRs #15, #17, #19

2026-04-07 — Agent fix-prompt output

--output agent-prompt produces a markdown plan an LLM can execute end-to-end: ranked failing checks, affected URLs, and re-run instructions in one document.
Now the audit isn’t just a score — it’s a hand-off to the coding agent that’s going to fix the site.

2026-04-06 — v0.2.0 launch

First public scorecard pinning 38 checks across the three layers of agent readability — discoverability, parsing, and comprehension.
CLI, Chrome MV3 extension, and Astro docs site shipped together so the same engine evaluates a site whether you run it from the terminal, the toolbar, or your CI.
