# wl-tools - Compositor-Agnostic Desktop Automation Tools ## Overview Provides CLI tools for desktop automation — Wayland-native, X11, and clipboard. Used by the `ov eval wl` command. Works on all wlroots compositors (sway, labwc). No daemon or special device access needed. **Note:** Screenshots are NOT included in this layer. Use `wl-screenshot-grim` (sway) or `wl-screenshot-pixelflux` (selkies) depending on your compositor. ## Layer Definition ```yaml rpm: packages: - wtype - wl

Use when authoring or modifying a charly PLUGIN — a candy with a `plugin:` block that contributes Providers (verbs/kinds/deploy-targets/steps/builders/commands), its own CUE schema, builtin (compiled-in) or external (out-of-tree git repo). Covers the unified Provider model, the per-plugin CUE-schema contract (single source → Go params for dev + schema-over-Describe RPC for runtime), the SDK, and the loader.
tools
The CUE data-validation / configuration CLI (cue), pinned to v0.16.1. Use when working with the cue candy, installing the cue binary into a box or onto a target:local dev host, or running the offline schema-vendoring pipeline that feeds charly's egress validation.
tools
CUE EGRESS validation — validating (and, where it adds value, generating) the config files charly WRITES to a system BEFORE the bytes hit disk. MUST be invoked before working on charly/egress.go, the vendored schemas under candy/plugin-egress/egress-schemas/vendor/, the ValidateEgress / registerVendoredEgressKind path, the offline `task cue:vendor` pipeline, or adding an egress schema for any written artifact (cloud-init, k8s manifests, traefik routes, runtime config, install ledger, systemd/quadlet units, ssh_config, libvirt XML).
tools
Kubernetes cluster-probe declarative check verb — the `kube:` check verb (nodes, pods, ingress, storage class, addon health, apply/delete, and arbitrary resource GETs) served out-of-process by the candy/plugin-kube plugin (vendored client-go; no external kubectl required).
