Does this skill support both Wayland and X11?

Yes, it includes logic to automatically detect the display server and use the appropriate toolset, such as ydotool for Wayland or xdotool for X11.

How does this skill handle visual verification?

It provides commands for capturing screenshots and uses ImageMagick to perform pixel-by-pixel or fuzzy threshold comparisons between baseline and current images.

Why are TDD gates mandatory in this skill?

The gates ensure the application is correctly built, launched, and producing logs before UI automation starts, which prevents unreliable test results caused by infrastructure or startup failures.

Can I use this skill to test web applications?

No, this skill is specifically for native Linux desktop applications. For web application testing, you should use Playwright or Chrome-based Claude Code skills.

What dependencies are required for Linux testing?

For Wayland, you typically need ydotool, wtype, and grim. For X11, xdotool and scrot are required. The skill includes a Tool Availability Gate to help you identify and install missing dependencies.

Automates and tests native Linux desktop applications across Wayland and X11 environments using input simulation and D-Bus control.

This skill provides a robust framework for end-to-end testing of Linux desktop applications, including those built with GTK and Qt. It intelligently detects the active display server to leverage either Wayland-native tools like ydotool and grim or X11-standard tools like xdotool and scrot. Beyond simple input simulation, it enables deep application interaction via D-Bus and accessibility verification through AT-SPI, ensuring comprehensive UI coverage. Built for reliability, it integrates strictly with TDD workflows to verify application health before executing automated UI interactions.
