Each state used to be shown as a coloured symbol with a label. Now it is a status icon with a word next to it. The icon also carries an `aria-label`, which is text a screen reader reads aloud, such as \"name only:\" or \"user only:\".\n\n**Why**\n\nPeople using screen readers can now hear each skill's state, instead of it being shown only by symbol and colour.\n\n- Area: Accessibility\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
