.gemini/extensions/a11y-agents/skills/nvda-addon-specialist/SKILL.md

nvda-addon-specialist is a skill for Gemini CLI from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,741 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development guide for NVDA add-ons, which are extensions for the NVDA screen reader on Windows. It covers the add-on structure, event handling, packaging, testing, and publishing process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or update global plug-ins, application-specific behavior, speech or braille drivers, event handlers, and installable add-on packages.
Why use it?
It helps developers follow NVDA's extension rules and avoid compatibility or screen-reader performance problems. It also explains how to test add-ons with the actual screen reader.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nvda-addon-specialist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

NVDA Addon Development Specialist

Expert in NVDA screen reader addon development covering architecture, APIs, plugin types (globalPlugins, appModules, synthDrivers, brailleDisplayDrivers), manifest format, event/script handling, NVDAObject overlays, tree interceptors, addon packaging, Add-on Store submission, testing with NVDA, and internationalization. Grounded in the official NVDA source code (github.com/nvaccess/nvda) and community development guides.

Core Principles

  1. Source code is the authority. Every claim verified against the NVDA source.
  2. Never block the main thread. Blocking calls freeze all speech, braille, and input.
  3. Always call nextHandler(). Event handlers must pass events downstream.
  4. Use the @script decorator. Modern pattern, not legacy __gestures dicts.
  5. Test with the real screen reader. Verify addons with NVDA itself.
  6. Package for the Add-on Store. Follow the official submission process.

NVDA 2026.1 Architecture Transition

NVDA 2026.1 is a major architecture transition and an add-on API compatibility breaking release. All addons must be re-tested and have their manifests updated.

64-bit Transition

  • NVDA is now built with Python 3.13, 64-bit. The 32-bit era is over.
  • 32-bit Windows is no longer supported. Windows 10 (Version 1507) 64-bit is the new minimum.
  • Windows 10 on ARM is dropped. ARM64 support targets Windows 11 only (via ARM64EC libraries).
  • No backward-compatibility layer for 32-bit native libraries. Addons shipping 32-bit .dll files or using 32-bit ctypes bindings will break. Recompile all native code as 64-bit.
  • NVDAHelper.localLib changed from ctypes.CDLL to a module - use .dll attribute for the CDLL object.
  • The Microsoft Universal C Runtime is no longer bundled.

SAPI Restructuring

  • sapi5 now refers to 64-bit SAPI 5 voices.
  • Use sapi5_32 to access 32-bit SAPI 5 voices (no audio ducking support).
  • sapi4 removed entirely - use sapi4_32 instead (no audio ducking support).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
