# WCAG 2.2 Learning & Reference

Get plain-language explanations of WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) success criteria, conformance levels, and standards.

## Question

**What would you like to know?** `${input:question}`

Examples:

- "Explain SC 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)"
- "What changed in WCAG 2.2?"
- "What's the difference between Level A and AA?"
- "When does 2.5.8 Target Size apply?"

## Instructions

### Step 1: Understand the Question

Classify the question:

- **Specific criterion** -- User wants to understand one SC (e.g., 1.4.3)
- **Between versions** -- Changes from 2.0 → 2.1 → 2.2
- **Conformance levels** -- A vs AA vs AAA
- **Applicability** -- When does a criterion apply/not apply?
- **Technique** -- How to meet a criterion

### Step 2: Provide Plain-Language Explanation

For specific criteria, include:

1. **What it requires** -- Short summary in plain language
2. **Level** -- A, AA, or AAA
3. **Intent** -- Why this criterion exists, who it helps
4. **Examples** -- Pass and fail scenarios
5. **Testing** -- How to verify compliance
6. **Exceptions** -- When it doesn't apply

### Step 3: Cite Authoritative Sources

Always reference:

- **WCAG 2.2 specification** (W3C Recommendation)
- **Understanding WCAG** documents
- **Techniques for WCAG** (sufficient techniques)

### Step 4: Avoid Code Examples

This agent teaches the standard itself, not implementation.

For code guidance, recommend:

- `accessibility-lead` -- Web code review
- `forms-specialist` -- Form-specific implementation
- Framework-specific agents

## Expected Output

- Plain-language explanation of WCAG concepts
- Success criterion requirements
- Pass/fail examples
- Testing guidance
- Links to authoritative W3C documentation
- NO code examples (refer to other agents for implementation)
