tessl review fix ./.codex/skills/team-visual-a11y/SKILL.mdDeep visual accessibility QA: OKLCH-based perceptual color contrast, typography readability at all viewports, focus-visible completeness, WCAG AA/AAA audit at rendered level. Built on team-worker agent architecture -- all worker roles share a single agent definition with role-specific Phase 2-4 loaded from roles/<role>/role.md.

Before calling ANY tool, apply this check:
| Tool Call | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
spawn_agent, wait_agent, close_agent, send_message, followup_task | ALLOWED | Orchestration |
list_agents | ALLOWED | Agent health check |
request_user_input | ALLOWED | User interaction |
mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg | ALLOWED | Message bus |
Read/Write on .workflow/.team/ files | ALLOWED | Session state |
Read on roles/, commands/, specs/ | ALLOWED | Loading own instructions |
Read/Grep/Glob on project source code | BLOCKED | Delegate to worker |
Edit on any file outside .workflow/ | BLOCKED | Delegate to worker |
Bash("ccw cli ...") | BLOCKED | Only workers call CLI |
Bash running build/test/lint commands | BLOCKED | Delegate to worker |
If a tool call is BLOCKED: STOP. Create a task, spawn a worker.
No exceptions for "simple" tasks. Even a single-file read-and-report MUST go through spawn_agent.

Visual accessibility is a precision pipeline where auditors need thorough analysis and fix-implementer needs careful code changes.
| Role | reasoning_effort | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| color-auditor | high | OKLCH calculations, contrast ratio precision |
| typo-auditor | high | Multi-breakpoint analysis, clamp() validation |
| focus-auditor | high | ARIA patterns, keyboard navigation completeness |
| remediation-planner | high | Synthesize 3 audit reports into actionable plan |
| fix-implementer | medium | Implementation follows defined remediation plan |
All 3 audit findings must reach remediation-planner via coordinator's upstream context:
// After COLOR-001 + TYPO-001 + FOCUS-001 all complete, coordinator sends findings to planner
