← Semantics Lens
API
Tokens

Run Semantics Lens from your own code

Both metered lanes are available over HTTP and each returns one JSON object. The division of labour: the page scans the Dart - every widget call matched to its closing bracket, its named arguments read at their own depth - for missing labels and roles, small tap targets, switched-off text scaling, clipping heights, failing literal contrast, split rows and web semantics, then hands it all to the run as facts. The run writes the audit or the patch; the page then holds it to its own facts and re-scans a patched file with the same scanner (semreply.js).

Base URL and the response shape

Every endpoint lives under https://api.skillsafe.ai/v1/app-api, and every response has one shape:

{ "ok": true,  "data":  { ... } }
{ "ok": false, "error": { "code": "...", "message": "..." } }

The token is minted for this app (the guest call takes {"slug":"semantics-lens"}), so no slug header is needed afterwards. Send it as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN. The run body is the input object, sent bare.

StatusCodeMeaning
400validation_errorThe body is not a JSON object, or a required key (task, screen, code, facts) is missing. The page always sends all five of task, screen, code, carry, facts; carry is an empty string for audit.
401unauthorizedNo token, or a stale one. Mint a guest token or sign in again.
402insufficient_creditsThe balance is under min_credits. Price with /estimate first.
403forbiddenA guest token tried to run: both lanes are metered and need a personal sign-in.
404not_foundUnknown job id.
429rate_limitedBack off and retry.
5xxserver_errorTransient. Retry with the same Idempotency-Key so a retry never double-bills.

The task field comes first

Two lanes, chosen by task, in the order the work runs - inspect, then produce:

A missing or unknown task is answered as audit. Both lanes send the same five fields. The facts are the page's scan, one finding per line with its id, and a line starting "must:" is a rule the reply has to hold. The page's handoff carries the audit's decisions into carry for the patch lane. The audit sends at most 24,000 characters of code (the middle of a longer file is cut on whole lines and marked; every finding is still in the facts); the patch lane takes at most 16,000.

The input

FieldRequiredWhat
taskyesaudit or patch. If it is missing or neither, do audit and set "task": "audit".
screenyesthe screen's name, the platforms it targets, and the widget class the test pumps.
codeyesthe Flutter code of one screen. A line starting "// [... N lines cut by the page" marks code the page scanned but did not send.
carrysend it (empty for audit)patch task only: the audit's decisions, one per line as id | confirmed or cleared or extra | widget | fix or reason; may be empty.
factsyesthe page's scan, one finding per line as id | area | severity | line | widget | evidence | source, the contrast pairs it measured and what is already present. A line starting "must:" applies to your reply.
retry_notenooptional; if present, your previous reply was unusable - follow it.

The rules the model applies

From the source skills, @flutter/flutter-improving-accessibility and @flutter/flutter-accessibility-audit - the only standard the run applies:

House rules

The replies

audit

Confirm or clear each of the page's findings, add what a scan cannot see, and give the order a screen reader meets the screen.

  1. summary - one sentence, at most 40 words: what blocks a screen-reader or large-text user most on this screen, and the first fix.
  2. findings - one object per page finding you confirm, in id order: id (the page's id), widget (the widget, with what it is on screen, e.g. "IconButton - the back arrow"), barrier (one sentence: what a TalkBack, VoiceOver, large-text or low-dexterity user meets here), fix (one sentence: the change; for a contrast finding, the passing colour the facts give), code (the corrected Dart for that widget only, at most 6 lines; "" for a colour or layout change you describe in fix).
  3. cleared - one object per page finding that is not a barrier in this code, with id and why (one sentence tied to the code - e.g. the image is decorative and sits beside a Text that says the same). Every page id appears exactly once, in findings or in cleared.
  4. extra - at most 5 barriers the scan cannot see, each tied to a line of the code: id (X1, X2, ...), area (label, role, target, scaling, contrast, grouping or web), line (a number), widget, barrier, fix. Examples: a state change a screen reader is never told about, a Switch or Checkbox with no label of its own, a reading order that does not match the visual order, a price split across several Text widgets. [] when there are none.
  5. reading_order - 3 to 12 short strings: the stops a screen reader makes on this screen as the code stands, top to bottom, each as what it announces (e.g. "\"button\" - the back arrow, unlabelled").
  6. caveats - at most 4 short strings; [] when there is nothing to say.
{
  "task": "audit",
  "summary": "one sentence",
  "findings": [ { "id": "S1", "widget": "IconButton - the back arrow", "barrier": "one sentence", "fix": "one sentence", "code": "IconButton(\n  tooltip: 'Back',\n  ...\n)" } ],

  "caveats": [ ]
}

The page holds it to its own facts (check() in semreply.js; any warning makes the reply flagged): the reply answers the task it was sent; every page finding id appears exactly once across findings and cleared, and no id the page never found; a cleared id has a reason (a cleared blocker is noted); a confirmed id has a barrier and a fix; at most five extra barriers, each on a line inside the paste; a reading order of 3 to 12 stops; a summary; no web link in the prose.

patch

Rewrite the screen with the fixes applied, and write the widget test.

  1. summary - one sentence, at most 40 words: what the patch changes and what it leaves for the team.
  2. code - the complete patched file. Keep every import, class, method, callback and behaviour; change only what the findings name, plus the imports a change needs (package:flutter/semantics.dart for SemanticsRole or ensureSemantics, package:flutter/foundation.dart for kIsWeb). Never shorten the file with "..." or "rest unchanged" - write every line. If the code holds a line starting "// [... N lines cut by the page", keep that line exactly where it is. Semantics always goes OUTSIDE the tappable, never inside it: Semantics(button: true, label: ..., child: GestureDetector(onTap: ..., child: the original child)). A Semantics placed inside the GestureDetector or InkWell does not give the tappable its role. A missing label: add tooltip: to an IconButton; wrap a custom tappable in Semantics(button: true, label: ...) as above, or turn an icon-only GestureDetector into an IconButton with a tooltip. A missing role: wrap the tappable in Semantics(button: true), with the tappable as its child, unchanged. A tap target: remove the fixed size or the empty constraints and padding: EdgeInsets.zero, or set MaterialTapTargetSize.padded - the icon may stay small. Text scaling: delete the override; replace a fixed height around text with constraints: BoxConstraints(minHeight: ...) or padding. Contrast: replace the failing colour with the passing colour the facts give for that finding ("Use Color(0x...)"), exactly as written, and name the old and the new colour in changes. Never pick a colour of your own - you cannot measure it; the page can. Grouping: wrap the tappable row in MergeSemantics. A decorative image: excludeFromSemantics: true. A meaningful image: semanticLabel: built from the text the screen shows for it. Flutter web: in main(), call SemanticsBinding.instance.ensureSemantics() when kIsWeb.
  3. changes - one object per page finding you fixed, in id order: id, change (one sentence: what changed, naming the widget). Extra ids (X1, ...) from the carried audit may appear too.
  4. kept - one object per page finding you did not change: id, why (one sentence - the audit cleared it, or it needs a decision the code cannot make). Every page id appears exactly once, in changes or in kept; an id the carried audit cleared belongs in kept.
  5. test - the complete test/a11y_test.dart: import flutter/material.dart and flutter_test, one testWidgets that calls tester.ensureSemantics(), pumps MaterialApp(home: the widget class named in the screen field), awaits expectLater(tester, meetsGuideline(...)) for androidTapTargetGuideline, iOSTapTargetGuideline, labeledTapTargetGuideline and textContrastGuideline, and ends with handle.dispose(). The input does not give the screen's file path: write the import of the screen as a commented placeholder (// import 'package:your_app/<file>.dart';) and say in a caveat that the team fills it in. Pass placeholder values for required constructor arguments.
  6. caveats - at most 4 short strings; [] when there is nothing to say.

}

The page requires: the reply answers the task it was sent; every page finding id appears exactly once across changes and kept; every widget class of the paste survives; the file is not shortened (at least 70% of its lines) and elides nothing; the imports a change needs are present; the patched code is scanned again - a rule the changes claim fixed that still fires, or a rule the paste never had, is flagged; the test asserts androidTapTargetGuideline, iOSTapTargetGuideline, labeledTapTargetGuideline and textContrastGuideline, calls ensureSemantics, disposes the handle and pumps the screen's widget class.

Worked examples

Three runs from the page's free samples (invented screens): the audit of a checkout screen a screen reader cannot use, the patch of the same screen carrying that audit, and the audit of a podcast player built for the web too. Each input is exactly what the page sends; each reply is the saved reply the sample replays, shipped unedited - but the code, the facts and long strings are shortened in this display only, and every cut is listed under the example. The last line is the page's own check of the full reply.

audit - A checkout screen a screen reader cannot use

The page read it as: Screen-reader blockers - 4 blocker, 4 major, 0 minor; findings S1 no-scaling, S2 unlabeled-button, S3 image-label, S4 small-target, S5 unlabeled-button, S6 fixed-height, S7 low-contrast, S8 unlabeled-tap.

Build the input yourself

Load the engine in node (global.window = global; require("./semkit.js"); require("./semreply.js")), then:

const K = SemKit, R = SemReply;
const f = K.form({ name: "Profile", targets: "mobile", carry: "",
  code: "class ProfileScreen extends StatelessWidget {\n  Widget build(BuildContext c) => Row(children: [\n    IconButton(icon: Icon(Icons.edit), onPressed: () {}),\n    Text('Ada', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.grey[400])),\n  ]);\n}" });
// f.findings (id, area, sev, line, widget, evidence, fix), f.pairs (contrast), f.checklist, f.test
// K.findingsCsv(f), K.checklistMd(f) - the free exports
const b = K.buildInput(f, "audit");                          // or "patch" (R.laneForm(form, "patch", audit) fills carry)
const wire = K.toWire(b.input);                              // POST this to /estimate and /run
// then: const reply = R.normalize(R.parseReply(job.output.output), "audit");
// R.check(reply, b)                                         // {status: kept or flags, notes}

Get a token for the steps below from /tokens.html.

Step 1 — a tiny client helper

One function that sends JSON and unwraps the response. Paste a personal token from /tokens.html, or leave it empty and mint a guest token in step 2.

BASE="https://api.skillsafe.ai/v1/app-api"
TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN"   # from https://semantics-lens.skillsafe.ai/tokens.html
api() { # api METHOD PATH [JSON-BODY]
  curl -s -X "$1" "$BASE$2" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    ${TOKEN:+-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"} ${3:+--data "$3"}
}

Step 2 — a token

A guest token is enough for /me and /estimate. A run is metered, so it needs a personal token: sign in on /tokens.html and copy it from there.

# a guest token (enough for /me and /estimate); a run needs your personal token from /tokens.html
TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST "$BASE/guest" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"slug":"semantics-lens"}' | jq -r '.data.token')

Step 3 — GET /me

Who the token is (subject_type: user or guest) and the credit balance.

api GET /me | jq '.data | {subject_type, credits}'

Step 4 — POST /estimate

Free. The body is the run input itself, the bare object (never wrapped in {"input": ...}). hold_credits is a reservation, not the price; min_credits is what the balance must cover; model_alias reads gpt-terra.

# input.json: the run input object - {"task": "audit", "screen": "Screen: Checkout
Targets: Android and iOS
Widget the test pumps: CheckoutScreen", "code": "import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
...", "carry": "", "facts": "The page's scan of 64 lines ...
Findings (id | area | severity | line | widget | evidence | source):
- S1 | scaling | blocker | line 10 | ..."}
# - see the input table
api POST /estimate "$(cat input.json)" | jq '.data | {hold_credits, min_credits, model, model_alias, markup_bps, warnings}'

Step 5 — POST /run, then poll the job

Send an Idempotency-Key built from the lane and the input: a retry with the same key never bills twice. The page uses semantics-lens:<task>:<inputHash>:a<attempt> - the lane is part of the key, retry_note is left out of the hash - and its one automatic reformat retry is a new attempt number, named in the page as one extra run. An audit reply carries summary, findings, cleared, extra, reading_order and caveats; a patch reply carries summary, code, changes, kept, test and caveats. The code below prints the gist of either: each confirmed finding and its fix, or each change.

KEY="semantics-lens:$(jq -r .task input.json):$(shasum -a 256 input.json | cut -c1-16):a1"
JOB=$(curl -s -X POST "$BASE/run" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $KEY" --data @input.json | jq -r '.data.job_id')
while :; do
  J=$(api GET "/jobs/$JOB"); S=$(echo "$J" | jq -r '.data.status')
  case "$S" in succeeded|failed|cancelled) break;; esac; sleep 2
done
echo "$J" | jq -r '.data.output.output' > reply.json   # one JSON object, the reply contract
echo "$J" | jq '.data | {charged_credits, truncated}'
jq -r 'if .task == "patch" then (.changes[] | "\(.id): \(.change)") 
       else (.findings[] | "\(.id): \(.fix)") end' reply.json

Step 6 — POST /run-stream

The same run as Server-Sent Events, with the same input.json. Browsers receive progress ticks rather than text deltas; the final done event carries the reply.

# Server-Sent Events: tick/delta events while the job runs, then a final event with the job
curl -N -s -X POST "$BASE/run-stream" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: semantics-lens:$(jq -r .task input.json):$(shasum -a 256 input.json | cut -c1-16):a1" --data @input.json
