Use this skill to enable Espresso's `AccessibilityValidator` against the Compose semantics tree via `enableAccessibilityChecks(...)` from `androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-accessibility` (for `ComposeUiTest`) or `androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4-accessibility` (for `ComposeTestRule` / `AndroidComposeTestRule`). Covers the API surface, the auto-check after every UI-mutating action (`performMultiModalInput` is the lone exception), the manual `tryPerformAccessibilityChecks()` entry point, sharing the validator with Espresso via `AccessibilityChecks.enable()`, the API 34+ requirement, and the Robolectric inconclusive behavior (logs a `Log.w` warning and still installs the validator, but Robolectric does not faithfully drive accessibility services — b/332778271). Use when the developer asks "how do I enable a11y checks in a Compose test", "AccessibilityChecks.enable", "AccessibilityValidator throws on click", "robolectric a11y not supported", or "ComposeTestRule IllegalStateException".

From the source SKILL.md

The Compose accessibility test artifacts wire Espresso's AccessibilityValidator (from com.google.android.apps.common.testing.accessibility.framework.integrations.espresso) into the Compose action pipeline. Once enabled, every action that mutates the UI (performClick, performScrollTo*, performTextInput, …) runs the validator against the underlying View first. Two distinct artifacts cover two test entry points (ComposeUiTest and ComposeTestRule), with one stable and one experimental. Real device + API 34+ for meaningful results — on Robolectric the validator is still installed but a Log.w…
