Alt-Text Pass
Generate accurate, WCAG-appropriate alt text for every image referenced by a site or folder and apply it back into the markup. Scope FIRST which images are content vs decorative (decorative images get empty alt, not a description) and the voice/length rules, because the most common alt-text failure is verbose, redundant, or wrong-purpose descriptions. Then caption each content image from what is actually visible and write the alt attributes back into the HTML. Covers accessibility, alt text, image descriptions, WCAG compliance, screen-reader support, and a11y retrofits.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |

| 2 | Caption content images | Developer | write alt text from what is actually visible |
| 3 | Apply to markup | Developer | write alt attributes back into the HTML |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
Say something like "add alt text" or "generate alt text for images" or "make images accessible" or "alt text for my site" or "wcag image descriptions" in chat to start it.
