Two weeks ago I did something slightly terrifying: I put my own open source project inside a formal study — two preregistered, placebo-controlled experiments measuring whether A11Y.md actually changes what AI agents build. I published everything, including the parts where I didn't win.
Version 2.0 is what the numbers ordered. Not a roadmap I dreamed up — a release where every major change traces to a measured finding.
What is A11Y.md, in one paragraph
Interfaces are being generated at unprecedented speed, and they are leaving people behind even faster. A11Y.md is a context file that AI coding tools — Cursor, Claude, Copilot — read before generating interfaces, so accessibility stops being a review step and becomes a premise: core rules always loaded, component guides loaded on demand, real-world norms (WCAG 2.2, ADA, EN 301 549, ABNT NBR 17225) behind them. Built for the people the speed is leaving behind. Nothing to install: one sentence in the right place and you're set.
What the studies ordered — and v2.0 shipped
