Prompt

Run Stensul's accessibility and quality check on "<email name>".
Fix anything you can fix within the email's rules, such as missing alt text,
then run the check again and give me a short list of what still needs a person.

What the assistant does

  1. Runs stensul-run-quality-check. Each issue comes back with a message, a rule, and a location such as “the 2nd image in the 3rd module”.
  2. Fixes what it can: alt text after looking at each image, link text that doesn’t say where it goes, a missing main heading where the module allows it.
  3. Runs the check again and reports what’s left.

What to know

  • Same engine as the editor. The checks are the ones Stensul runs in its builder, against the rendered email HTML.
  • Mandatory rules block completion. If an admin made a rule mandatory for the library, the draft can’t be completed in Stensul until it passes.
  • Some fixes are admin-only. A problem baked into a locked module, such as a low-contrast locked footer, has to be fixed in the module by an admin.
  • A clean check isn’t a WCAG certification. Review the email yourself, including on mobile, before you send.
