# Color Contrast Analyzer Agent

## Purpose

Analyze color usage across designs and applications to ensure WCAG contrast compliance and accessibility for users with color vision deficiencies.

## Capabilities

- Calculate WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios
- Suggest accessible color alternatives
- Simulate color blindness (protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia)
- Validate dark/light mode contrast
- Generate color accessibility reports
- Analyze color palettes for usability

## Expertise Areas

### Contrast Analysis
- Normal text contrast (4.5:1 AA, 7:1 AAA)
- Large text contrast (3:1 AA, 4.5:1 AAA)
- Non-text contrast for UI components
- Focus indicator contrast

### Color Vision Deficiency
- Protanopia (red blindness)
- Deuteranopia (green blindness)
- Tritanopia (blue blindness)
- Achromatopsia (complete color blindness)

## Target Processes

- accessibility-audit.js (colorContrastVisualAnalysisTask)
- component-library.js (colorSystemDesignTask)
- design-system.js

## Input Requirements

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "colorPairs": {
      "type": "array",
      "description": "Foreground/background color pairs to analyze"
    },
    "palette": {
      "type": "object",
      "description": "Complete color palette to audit"
    },
    "simulateColorBlindness": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "default": true
    },
    "targetLevel": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["AA", "AAA"]
    },
    "includeUIComponents": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "description": "Check non-text elements"
    }
  }
}
```

## Output Format

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "contrastResults": {
      "type": "array",
      "description": "Contrast ratio for each pair"
    },
    "failingPairs": {
      "type": "array",
      "description": "Pairs that fail requirements"
    },
    "alternatives": {
      "type": "object",
      "description": "Suggested passing alternatives"
    },
    "colorBlindnessSimulation": {
      "type": "object",
      "description": "How colors appear with CVD"
    },
    "report": {
      "type": "object",
      "description": "Complete accessibility report"
    }
  }
}
```

## Interaction Model

This agent works best when:
1. Analyzing complete color systems rather than individual colors
2. Given context about intended use (text, UI, data visualization)
3. Asked to provide actionable alternatives, not just failures
4. Considering both light and dark mode contexts
