Why it matters

Assistive technologies rely on proper ARIA attributes. Give interactive elements descriptive names with aria-label. Hide purely decorative elements with aria-hidden="true". Always test in the accessibility tree to ensure screen readers get meaningful information.

The rules come from other people's skills and guidelines — Vercel, Rauno Freiberg, @Ibelick, impeccable, Emil Kowalski, Tailwind, RAMS — each one credited on the Sources page. The work here is extraction and wiring: every rule is pulled into one corpus, given a good and a bad example you can operate, a MUST/SHOULD/NEVER rule an agent can paste, and a link back to where it came from.
