Do any VS Code extensions suggest accessibility fixes while coding?

I was exploring ways to catch accessibility issues earlier in development and found an extension for Visual Studio Code that extends IntelliSense with accessibility suggestions.

It recommends things like missing attributes, ARIA roles, and other accessibility best practices as you type.

The extension is called A11yInspect, and it basically makes IntelliSense accessibility aware.

I thought that was an interesting approach because as we all know accessibility issues often show up much later during testing.

Do developers here rely on extensions like this, or do you mostly handle accessibility during QA or audits?
