aria-toggle-field-name

Check checkboxes, radio buttons, and switches for descriptive names that screen readers can announce. Identify missing or unclear labels, suggest appropriate HTML or ARIA labeling, and explain how to verify the changes with accessibility tools.

OriginalShow the original description

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

AI rating100/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Checking labels on checkboxes and radio buttons
  • Reviewing whether switch names explain their purpose
  • Fixing missing or unclear accessible names
  • Verifying labels with accessibility tools or screen readers

Overview

What it does

This skill checks whether checkboxes, radio buttons, and switches have names that explain their purpose when read aloud. An accessible name is the name assistive technology uses to identify a control.

It finds empty labels and unclear names, then suggests fixes using <label>, aria-label, or aria-labelledby. The review identifies specific elements and roles and explains how to verify the changes.

When it helps

Use it to check whether people listening to a settings screen or form can understand what they are selecting or turning on and off. It also helps review labels in shared UI components and design systems.

Example requests

  • “Check the names of the checkboxes and radio buttons in this form.”
  • “Revise the settings switch labels so their purpose is clear when read aloud.”

Notes

The skill reviews browser-rendered HTML and interaction states as well as code. It checks native HTML semantics first, then examines keyboard operation and focus movement where needed. Changes are verified using browser accessibility tools or assistive technology.

Provide accessible names for toggle fields

Toggle fields like checkboxes and switches are unusable for screen reader users if they don't have a label, as the user won't know what they are turning on or off.

Quick Reference

  • Use aria-label, aria-labelledby, or <label> for checkboxes and radios
  • Ensure the label clearly describes the state or action of the toggle
  • Avoid empty or non-descriptive labels for switches

Check

Check all toggle fields (checkboxes, radio buttons, switches) for a valid accessible name.

Fix

Add an accessible name to the toggle field using a label element, aria-label, or aria-labelledby.

Explain

Explain why all interactive toggle controls must have descriptive names for users to understand their purpose.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Provide accessible names for toggle fields. 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.
