aria-meter-name

Review meter elements for accessible names, the labels screen readers use to explain what a value measures. Identify missing labels, add aria-label or aria-labelledby, and describe checks using browser accessibility tools or assistive technology.

OriginalShow the original description

Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Provide accessible names for meter elements. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.

Good for

  • Check labels for battery and storage meters
  • Add accessible names to meter elements
  • Review meters in shared UI components
  • Verify screen reader output after fixes

Overview

What it does

This skill reviews meter names so that people hearing a value also understand what it measures. It covers both <meter> elements and elements with role="meter". It identifies missing accessible names—the names used by assistive technology—and helps add aria-label or aria-labelledby to describe the measurement. It examines rendered HTML and relevant states, and explains how to verify changes with browser accessibility tools or assistive technology.

When it helps

Use it when reviewing screens that show battery levels, storage capacity, or password strength. It helps when a value such as “50%” does not explain what is being measured. It is also useful for checking whether meters in shared UI components have labels that communicate that context.

Example requests

  • “Check whether the meters on this screen have accessible names.”
  • “Add aria-labelledby to the storage meter and explain how to check the screen reader output.”

Notes

Verification uses browser accessibility inspection tools or assistive technology such as screen readers. Implementation details are provided through the accompanying references/rule.md.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Provide accessible names for meter elements

A meter represents a scalar measurement; without a label, a user might hear a value (e.g., '50%') but have no idea if it refers to battery life, storage space, or a password strength.

Quick Reference

  • The &lt;meter&gt; element or role="meter" must have an accessible label
  • Use aria-label or aria-labelledby to provide context
  • Helps users understand what measurement is being displayed

Check

Check for &lt;meter&gt; elements or elements with role="meter" that lack an accessible name.

Fix

Add an aria-label or aria-labelledby to the meter element to describe the measurement.

Explain

Explain why measurements need context through accessible names for screen reader users.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Provide accessible names for meter elements. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.
