BUILDING A GENERAL-PURPOSE ACCESSIBILITY AGENT—AND WHAT WE LEARNED IN THE PROCESS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

An experimental general-purpose accessibility agent piloted at GitHub has reviewed 3,535 pull requests with a 68% resolution rate. It gives engineers real-time guidance in Copilot CLI and VS Code, and fixes straightforward issues before code reaches production. A parent agent directs two sub-agents, a passive reviewer and an active implementer, and escalates drag-and-drop, data grids, and rich text editors to human specialists.
