# Project Context
8
+
Ultracite enforces strict type safety, accessibility standards, and consistent code quality for JavaScript/TypeScript projects using Biome's lightning-fast formatter and linter.
9
+
10
+
## Key Principles
11
+
- Zero configuration required
12
+
- Subsecond performance
13
+
- Maximum type safety
14
+
- AI-friendly code generation
15
+
16
+
## Before Writing Code
17
+
1. Analyze existing patterns in the codebase
18
+
2. Consider edge cases and error scenarios
19
+
3. Follow the rules below strictly
20
+
4. Validate accessibility requirements
21
+
22
+
## Rules
23
+
24
+
### Accessibility (a11y)
25
+
- Don't use `accessKey` attribute on any HTML element.
26
+
- Don't set `aria-hidden="true"` on focusable elements.
27
+
- Don't add ARIA roles, states, and properties to elements that don't support them.
28
+
- Don't use distracting elements like `<marquee>` or `<blink>`.
29
+
- Only use the `scope` prop on `<th>` elements.
30
+
- Don't assign non-interactive ARIA roles to interactive HTML elements.
31
+
- Make sure label elements have text content and are associated with an input.
32
+
- Don't assign interactive ARIA roles to non-interactive HTML elements.
33
+
- Don't assign `tabIndex` to non-interactive HTML elements.
34
+
- Don't use positive integers for `tabIndex` property.
35
+
- Don't include "image", "picture", or "photo" in img alt prop.
36
+
- Don't use explicit role property that's the same as the implicit/default role.
37
+
- Make static elements with click handlers use a valid role attribute.
38
+
- Always include a `title` element for SVG elements.
39
+
- Give all elements requiring alt text meaningful information for screen readers.
40
+
- Make sure anchors have content that's accessible to screen readers.
41
+
- Assign `tabIndex` to non-interactive HTML elements with `aria-activedescendant`.
42
+
- Include all required ARIA attributes for elements with ARIA roles.
43
+
- Make sure ARIA properties are valid for the element's supported roles.
44
+
- Always include a `type` attribute for button elements.
45
+
- Make elements with interactive roles and handlers focusable.
46
+
- Give heading elements content that's accessible to screen readers (not hidden with `aria-hidden`).
47
+
- Always include a `lang` attribute on the html element.
48
+
- Always include a `title` attribute for iframe elements.
49
+
- Accompany `onClick` with at least one of: `onKeyUp`, `onKeyDown`, or `onKeyPress`.
50
+
- Accompany `onMouseOver`/`onMouseOut` with `onFocus`/`onBlur`.
51
+
- Include caption tracks for audio and video elements.
52
+
- Use semantic elements instead of role attributes in JSX.
53
+
- Make sure all anchors are valid and navigable.
54
+
