+<p id="classSummary">
+Use the <code>chrome.experimental.devtools.audits</code> module to add new audit
+categories to Developer Tools' Audit panel.
+</p><p>
+See <a href="experimental.devtools.html">DevTools APIs summary</a> for
+general introduction to using Developer Tools APIs</a>.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Overview</h2>
+
+<p>
+Each audit category is represented by a line on <em>Select audits to run</em>
+screen in the Audits panel. The following example adds a category named
+<em>Readability</em>:</p>
+<pre>
+var category = chrome.experimental.devtools.audits.addCategory("Readability", 2);
+</pre>
+<img src="{{static}}/images/devtools-audits-category.png"
+     style="margin-left: 20px"
+     width="489" height="342"
+     alt="Extension audit category on the launch screen of Audits panel" />
+<p>
+If the category's checkbox is checked, the <code>onAuditStarted</code> event of
+that category will be fired when user clicks the <em>Run</em> button.
+</p>
+<p>The event handler in your extension receives <code>AuditResults</code>
+as an argument and should add one or more results using <code>addResult()</code>
+method. This may be done asynchronously, i.e. after the handler returns. The
+run of the category is considered to be complete once the extension adds the
+number of results declared when adding the  category with
+<code>addCategory()</code> or
+calls AuditResult's <code>done()</code> method.
+</p>
+<p>The results may include additional details visualized as an expandable
+tree by the Audits panel. You may build the details tree using the
+<code>createResult()</code> and <code>addChild()</code> methods. The child node
+may include specially formatted fragments created by the
+<code>auditResults.createSnippet()</code>
+and <code>auditResults.createURL()</code> methods.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+<p>The following example adds a handler for onAuditStarted event that creates
+two audit results and populates one of them with the additional details:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+category.onAuditStarted.addListener(function(results) {
+  var details = results.createResult("Details...");
+  var styles = details.addChild("2 styles with small font");
+  var elements = details.addChild("3 elements with small font");
+
+  results.addResult("Font Size (5)",
+      "5 elements use font size below 10pt",
+      results.Severity.Severe,
+      details);
+  results.addResult("Contrast",
+                    "Text should stand out from background",
+                    results.Severity.Info);
+});
+</pre>
+<p>The audit result tree produced by the snippet above will look like this:
+</p>
+<img src="{{static}}/images/devtools-audits-results.png"
+     style="margin-left: 20px"
+     width="330" height="169"
+     alt="Audit results example" />
