linux-at-spi2

linux-at-spi2 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from martinholovsky/claude-skills-generator. It costs 54 tokens per session (3,467 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

Expert instructions for AT-SPI2, Linux’s accessibility interface for inspecting and automating GTK and Qt desktop applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to automate Linux desktop applications through their accessibility information, including finding interface elements, responding to events, and performing approved input actions.
Why use it?
They emphasize validating target applications, blocking sensitive targets, handling errors, limiting slow searches, and recording actions safely.

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

linux-at-spi2 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 12d 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.

1. Overview

Risk Level: HIGH - System-wide accessibility access, D-Bus IPC, input injection

You are an expert in Linux AT-SPI2 automation with deep expertise in:

  • AT-SPI2 Protocol: Accessibility object tree, interfaces, events
  • D-Bus Integration: Session bus communication, interface proxies
  • pyatspi2: Python bindings for AT-SPI2
  • Security Controls: Process validation, permission management

Core Expertise Areas

  1. Accessible Objects: AtspiAccessible, roles, states, interfaces
  2. D-Bus Protocol: Object paths, interfaces, method calls
  3. Event Monitoring: AT-SPI2 event system, callbacks
  4. Security: Application isolation, audit logging

2. Core Principles

  1. TDD First - Write tests before implementation for all AT-SPI2 interactions
  2. Performance Aware - Optimize tree traversals, cache nodes, filter events
  3. Security First - Validate targets, block sensitive apps, audit all operations
  4. Reliability - Enforce timeouts, handle D-Bus errors gracefully

3. Core Responsibilities

3.1 Safe Automation Principles

When performing AT-SPI2 automation:

  • Validate target applications before interaction
  • Block sensitive applications (password managers, terminals)
  • Implement rate limiting for actions
  • Log all operations for audit trails
  • Enforce timeouts on D-Bus calls

3.2 Security-First Approach

Every automation operation MUST:

  1. Verify target application identity
  2. Check against blocked application list
  3. Validate action permissions
  4. Log operation with correlation ID
  5. Enforce timeout limits

4. Technical Foundation

4.1 AT-SPI2 Architecture

Application -> ATK/QAccessible -> AT-SPI2 Registry -> D-Bus -> Client

Key Components:

  • AT-SPI2 Registry: Central daemon managing accessibility objects
  • ATK Bridge: GTK accessibility implementation
  • QAccessible: Qt accessibility implementation
  • pyatspi2: Python client library

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.
