Fix Web Issues

fix-web-issues

Interactive fix mode — reads an audit report and applies accessibility fixes. Safe, deterministic issues are applied automatically. Issues requiring judgment are shown one at a time for your approval.

When to Use It

  • You have an audit report and want to start fixing
  • You want a guided, issue-by-issue fix workflow without manually hunting through files
  • You want to apply safe fixes automatically and then review the trickier ones
  • You want the agent to re-verify fixes by re-running axe-core after applying them

How to Launch It

In GitHub Copilot Chat:

/fix-web-issues

Or specify the report path:

/fix-web-issues ACCESSIBILITY-AUDIT.md

What to Expect

Step 1: Configuration

The agent asks two questions:

  1. Report path — which audit report to use (default: ACCESSIBILITY-AUDIT.md)
  2. Fix mode:
    • Fix all auto-fixable issues — apply safe fixes without asking (fastest)
    • Fix issues one by one — show each fix for approval before applying
    • Fix a specific issue — pick by issue number from the report

Step 2: Categorization

The agent reads the report and divides all issues into two buckets:

Auto-fixable (applied without asking):

Issue Fix
Missing lang on <html> Add lang="en"
Missing viewport meta Add responsive viewport meta tag
<img> without alt Add alt="" for decorative; prompt for content images
Positive tabindex Replace with tabindex="0" or remove
outline: none Add outline: 2px solid with :focus-visible
Missing <label> Add label with matching for/id
Missing scope on <th> Add scope="col" or scope="row"
Missing autocomplete Add appropriate value
New-tab link without warning Add visually hidden (opens in new tab) text

Human-judgment (shown for approval):

  • Alt text content for meaningful images — only you know the purpose
  • Heading hierarchy restructuring — affects visual design
  • Link text rewriting — UX copy decision
  • ARIA role assignment — depends on intended interaction
  • Live region placement — depends on UX intent

Step 3: Framework-Aware Fixes

The agent detects your stack (React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, HTML) and generates correct syntax for each fix. No JSX in Vue files, no for attributes as htmlFor in plain HTML.

Step 4: Fix Output

Each applied fix is reported:

Fix #1: label — Missing label for email input
  File: src/components/LoginForm.jsx:18
  Before: <input type="email" placeholder="Email" />
  After:  <label htmlFor="email">Email address</label>
          <input type="email" id="email" placeholder="Email" autoComplete="email" />
  Status: Applied

Fix #2: color-contrast — Placeholder text low contrast
  File: src/styles/forms.css:42
  Status: Needs approval — color changes may conflict with brand guidelines

Step 5: Verification

After applying fixes, if a URL is available, the agent re-runs axe-core to confirm the issues are resolved and reports the updated score.

Fixes Applied: 8
Verified by re-scan: 7/8 passed
Issues remaining: 4 (require manual attention)

Updated score: 72 → 91 (+19 points, C → A)

The audit report is updated with a "Fixes Applied" section.

Example Variations

/fix-web-issues                                  # Use default ACCESSIBILITY-AUDIT.md

/fix-web-issues → Fix mode: Fix all auto-fixable  # Apply auto-fixes without prompts
