Prompt
Perform an accessibility review of the {{component_or_flow}} in {{product_name}}. Platform: {{platform}}. Target: WCAG {{wcag_level}} conformance.

Component/flow description:
{{description}}

Current implementation details:
{{implementation_notes}}

Review against these categories:
1. **Perceivable**: Color contrast, text alternatives, captions, content structure
2. **Operable**: Keyboard navigation, focus management, touch targets (min 44x44px), motion/animation
3. **Understandable**: Error messages, labels, predictable behavior, reading level
4. **Robust**: Semantic HTML, ARIA usage (check for misuse), screen reader testing notes

For each issue:
- WCAG success criterion violated (e.g., 1.4.3 Contrast)
- Current behavior vs. expected behavior
- Code fix or design change needed (be specific)
- Impact on users with specific disabilities

Also provide:
- Recommended testing tools for {{platform}}
- Manual testing checklist (what automated tools cannot catch)
- Screen reader announcement script for the happy path
