## What maidr does, in the publisher's words

An Agent Skill that teaches AI coding agents to make every chart they create accessible with MAIDR (Multimodal Access and Interactive Data Representation). The visual chart stays exactly as designed; blind and low-vision readers additionally get keyboard navigation, screen-reader text, sonification, braille, and AI descriptions.

Works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, ChatGPT Work, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and any other agent that reads the open SKILL.md format.

Whenever a user asks for a chart, plot, or visualization, the agent:

- Detects the environment and picks the binding:
- R project or ggplot2 / base graphics request -> the maidr R package (CRAN).
- JavaScript page or app (D3, Chart.js, Highcharts, ECharts, Vega-Lite, Plotly.js, React chart libraries, hand-drawn SVG) -> maidr.js with that library's adapter.
