# a11y-tools - AT-SPI2 Accessibility Introspection ## Overview Provides Python AT-SPI2 bindings for querying the accessibility tree of GTK, Qt, and Chrome applications. Enables element-based automation — find buttons, menus, and text fields by name/role instead of pixel coordinates. Used by `ov eval wl atspi tree/find/click`. ## Layer Definition ```yaml requires: - dbus rpm: packages: - python3-pyatspi - python3-gobject ``` ## Key Properties | Property | Value | |----------|-

requires:

packages:

- python3-gobject
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Depends | dbus (AT-SPI2 requires D-Bus session bus) |
| Packages | python3-pyatspi, python3-gobject |
| Python | Uses /usr/bin/python3 (system Python 3.14, NOT pixi's Python 3.13) |
The RPM packages install to system Python (/usr/bin/python3). Containers with pixi environments have pixi's python3 first in PATH, but pixi's python3 doesn't see system RPM packages. The ov eval wl atspi command explicitly uses /usr/bin/python3 to ensure AT-SPI2 bindings are found.
name:role patternChrome needs --force-renderer-accessibility flag to expose DOM elements via AT-SPI2. The labwc/autostart in selkies-desktop includes this flag.
selkies-desktop metalayer/ov-selkies:selkies-desktop (via selkies-desktop metalayer)/ov-selkies:selkies-desktop-nvidia (via selkies-desktop metalayer)python3-pyatspi installs under the system /usr/lib/python3.X/ site-packages/, NOT pixi's Python 3.13 env (which dominates PATH).
Declarative tests must use the absolute path /usr/bin/python3 -c "import pyatspi"; a bare python3 invocation resolves to pixi's
python and fails with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyatspi'.

Claude Code multi-agent support in Overthink — sub-agents, dynamic workflows, and agent teams, and how each drives the existing `ov eval` disposable beds to test and verify. MUST be invoked before authoring or invoking an ov sub-agent / dynamic workflow / agent team, wiring agent-lifecycle hooks, or asking "which primitive should drive the R10 beds?".
tools
Mounts a virtiofs share tagged `workspace` at /workspace inside a VM guest via a systemd .mount unit. Use when a kind:vm entity shares a host directory into the guest and you need it auto-mounted (and re-mounted at every boot).
development
MUST be invoked before any work involving: the `kind: android` schema kind, a `target: android` deploy, the `apk:` layer package format (installing Android apps declaratively), AndroidDeployTarget, an in-pod emulator OR a remote/physical adb-endpoint device, or nested `pod → android` deployment. The first-class Android device + app surface that sits above `ov eval adb`/`appium`.
tools
Use when committing, branching, pushing, merging, tagging, creating PRs, or approving/merging PRs with gh — the feat/-branch, R10-gated, never-force-push landing workflow across the main repo + the plugins submodule + image/<distro> submodules. Covers sync-to-upstream, branch/worktree pruning, the fork+PR path for contributors without write access, and cross-repo @github landing order.
