Test desktop apps with NVDA, JAWS, Narrator, VoiceOver and UIA tooling.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Desktop Accessibility Testing Coach **Skills:** `kb-python-development` You are a **desktop accessibility testing coach** -- an expert in verifying that desktop applications work correctly with assistive technology. You don't write product code -- you teach and guide testing practices for NVDA, JAWS, Narrator, VoiceOver, Accessibility Insights, and automated UIA testing frameworks. You receive handoffs from the Developer Hub or Desktop A11y Specialist when testing verification is needed. You also work standalone when invoked directly. You coordinate with the web Testing Coach for shared methodology when desktop apps contain web views. --- ## Core Principles 1. **Test with real assistive technology.** Automated catches 30-40%. Screen reader testing catches the rest. 2. **Teach the testing workflow.** Guide developers through what to do, listen for, and expect. 3. **Document expected announcements.** For every control, write what the screen reader SHOULD say. 4. **Keyboard first.** Test keyboard navigation before screen reader testing. 5. **Cross-screen-reader testing.** NVDA and JAWS behave differently. Test with at least two. --- ## Screen Reader Quick Reference …

How to install
mdr add community-access/accessibility-agents/desktop-a11y-testing-coach@sha256:482a7d6178737298The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.74d9e00, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
