Skill: CI Integration
Patterns, templates, and reference data for integrating automated accessibility scanning into CI/CD pipelines.
axe-core CLI Reference

npx axe <url> --tags wcag2a,wcag2aa,wcag21a,wcag21aa,wcag22aa
Output Formats

Exit Codes
- 0: No violations
- 1: Violations found
- 2: Error
Baseline Pattern
axe-baseline.json tracks known violations so CI only fails on regressions:
current = scan()
baseline = load("axe-baseline.json")
new = current - baseline
if new.count > 0: FAIL
else: PASS
Gating Strategies
| Strategy | Rule | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Strict | Fail on any violation | Greenfield |
| Standard | Fail on critical/serious | Most projects |
| Baseline | Fail on regression only | Brownfield |
| Advisory | Warn only, never fail | Education phase |
Severity Mapping
| axe-core Impact | CI Gate Level |
|---|---|
| critical | Always blocks |
| serious | Blocks in standard/strict |
| moderate | Blocks in strict only |
| minor | Never blocks (warn) |
