What is free stays free.
The skill and the tool with the checker are open source. The gallery pays for the work on them. The line is simple: tools are free, finished designs cost money.
Free
- Skill kiekkist-agency MIT
- The full agency process for AI assistants that support skills or MCP, with knowledge files on type, colour, layout, motion, accessibility and privacy.
- Tool kiekkist AGPL-3.0
- MCP server, capture, boards, themes, export, launch checks, command line.
- Checker AGPL-3.0
- Hard errors, WCAG 2.2 checks with axe-core and its own tests, third-party requests, counted slop signals with thresholds.
- Example themes CC BY 4.0 (code and copy)
- Four invented companies to look at. Their photos may only be used within the examples.
Paid
- Gallery designs Kiekkist licence
- Finished systems with the full page set, social, slides and a check report. The licence covers client work, not passing on the designs.
Why open source? Because you should see what the checker checks before you trust its numbers. And because access for everyone matters more than a discount scheme.
Using the checker
Check any website, including your own rebuild. The checker opens the page in a real browser at 390, 768 and 1440 px, loads it again without JavaScript and with reduced motion, and blocks every request to other servers so it can count them.
npx kiekkist check https://example.org --profile bfsg- Hard errors: overflow, WCAG AA contrast, target sizes, missing alt text, focus, keyboard traps, reflow at 320 px, text spacing
- Privacy: fonts from a CDN and every other third-party request, with the host
- Motion: content visible without JavaScript, reduced motion respected, no endless loops without a pause
- Slop signals: counted against a threshold instead of banned, for example caps labels above headings or large soft shadows
- Token drift: colours and fonts outside the system
What it can’t do: automated tests cover only part of WCAG 2.2. The report lists the items a person has to check. A passing run means nothing measurable is broken. Whether a design is good is still your call.
Contributing
Bugs and ideas as issues. New checker rules come with a source and a threshold, so they stay traceable.
The repository goes public at launch. Until then the link leads nowhere. Pricing
