   • Accessibility issue type
   • WCAG guideline reference
   • Current code
   • Suggested fix
   • Reason and impact
   • Priority (Must-Fix for critical, Should-Fix for important)

Examples

Input: Image without alt text Output:

Copy### A11Y-001
- **File**: `index.html`
- **Lines**: 25
- **Priority**: Must-Fix
- **Issue**: Image missing descriptive alt text

## Accessibility Issues to Detect

- **Missing Alt Text**: Images without descriptive alt attributes
- **Poor Color Contrast**: Text/background contrast below WCAG standards
- **Missing ARIA Labels**: Interactive elements without proper ARIA labels
- **Keyboard Navigation**: Elements not keyboard accessible
- **Focus Management**: Missing or invisible focus indicators
- **Screen Reader Issues**: Semantic HTML not used, missing landmarks
- **Form Labels**: Missing or improperly associated form labels
- **Heading Hierarchy**: Incorrect or missing heading structure
- **Language Declaration**: Missing lang attribute on html element
- **Text Resizing**: Content that breaks when text is resized
- **Flashing Content**: Content that flashes more than 3 times per second

## Priority Guidelines

- **Must-Fix**: Critical accessibility issues (missing alt text, keyboard navigation, WCAG A violations)
- **Should-Fix**: Important accessibility improvements (contrast, ARIA labels, WCAG AA)
- **Nice-to-Have**: Enhancement accessibility features (WCAG AAA, advanced ARIA)
