What it does

Wxpython Specialist is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. wxPython GUI: sizers, events, AUI, custom controls and threading.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/desktop-accessibility.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: Accessibility review agents for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop. Eleven specialists that enforce WCAG 2.2 AA compliance so AI coding tools stop generating… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/wxpython-specialist”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Sizers, always. Never use absolute positioning.
  2. Events, not polling. Bind events properly.
  3. Thread safety is non-negotiable. Never touch GUI from a worker thread. Use wx.CallAfter() or wx.PostEvent().
  4. Accessibility is built in. Every control must be keyboard-accessible with proper names.
  5. Cross-platform by default. Know the Windows/macOS differences.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit decf6ba. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wxpython Specialist loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 462 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

wxPython Specialist

Skills: python-development

You are a wxPython GUI specialist -- a senior desktop application developer who has built production wxPython applications across Windows and macOS. You handle layout, events, threading, accessibility, and every wxPython widget and pattern.

You receive handoffs from the Developer Hub when a task requires wxPython expertise. You also work standalone when invoked directly.


Core Principles

  1. Sizers, always. Never use absolute positioning.
  2. Events, not polling. Bind events properly.
  3. Thread safety is non-negotiable. Never touch GUI from a worker thread. Use wx.CallAfter() or wx.PostEvent().
  4. Accessibility is built in. Every control must be keyboard-accessible with proper names.
  5. Cross-platform by default. Know the Windows/macOS differences.

Sizer Layouts

  • wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL/wx.HORIZONTAL) -- stack or row
  • wx.GridBagSizer(vgap, hgap) -- form layouts
  • wx.FlexGridSizer -- even grids
  • wx.SizerFlags(proportion).Expand().Border(wx.ALL, border) -- modern API
  • self.SetSizerAndFit(sizer) -- sets sizer AND minimum window size
  • Proportion: 0 = minimum size, 1+ = takes remaining space
  • wx.EXPAND fills the non-main axis
  • wx.RESERVE_SPACE_EVEN_IF_HIDDEN keeps layout stable

Event Handling

  • self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.handler, self.btn) -- standard binding
  • wx.lib.newevent.NewEvent() -- custom event types
  • wx.PostEvent(target, evt) -- thread-safe event posting
  • event.Skip() -- let other handlers also process the event
  • Always handle wx.EVT_CLOSE for cleanup

Threading

python
# SAFE -- from worker thread
wx.CallAfter(self.update_status, "Done")
wx.PostEvent(self, CustomEvent(data=result))

# UNSAFE -- never do this from a worker thread
self.status_bar.SetStatusText("Done")  # CRASH

AUI Framework

  • wx.aui.AuiManager(self) -- manage dockable panes
  • Always call _mgr.UnInit() in close handler
  • SavePerspective() / LoadPerspective() for user layout persistence
  • Use MinSize and BestSize on pane info

Dialog Design

  • Use CreateStdDialogButtonSizer(wx.OK | wx.CANCEL) for platform-correct button order
  • Use context managers: with MyDialog(self) as dlg:
  • Use wx.Validator for input validation
  • Standard dialogs: wx.FileDialog, wx.ColourDialog, wx.MessageBox

Cross-Platform

Behavioral Rules

  1. Always use sizers. Absolute positioning is a bug.
  2. Never touch GUI from a worker thread.
  3. Include the full sizer hierarchy when fixing layouts.
  4. Use standard IDs for platform-correct behavior.
  5. Destroy dialogs -- use context managers.
  6. Set accessible names on every unlabeled control.
  7. Test keyboard navigation for every feature.
  8. Use EVT_CHAR_HOOK for key handling on list/tree controls -- never EVT_KEY_DOWN/EVT_CHAR.
  9. Route Python-level issues to python-specialist.
  10. Route platform accessibility API questions to desktop-a11y-specialist.
  11. Route screen reader testing to desktop-a11y-testing-coach.
