OIP capability: LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT

LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT

This is one executable OIP object. It is the leaf where prose stops and exact invocation begins.

Accessibility snapshot of the frontmost window — role+name+description of each top-level UI element. Semantic, not pixels. The basis for LOCAL_UI_CLICK.

Parent system: Mac — local shell + files. Root: /a/oip. Machine doc: /api/dispatch?key=LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT.

Invoke

Example: [LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT][/LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT]

Run URL: https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?invoke=LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT&share=<TOKEN>

Auth: required. Risk: low.

Machine contract

• Read this article first; do not infer the row shape from memory.
• If acting with a URL-only tool, open run_now after replacing placeholder args.
• If the call returns ran:false or proof.ok:false, read the receipt and repair the failed invocation instead of narrating success.
• If the token denies the call, report the denial exactly; do not switch to a broader action unless the owner supplied a broader token.

Troubleshooting

• unknown key - Use the did_you_mean links or ask URL; never guess another key.
• argument/body mismatch - Read inputs/example_args here, then retry with repairs: inv_ID so lineage closes.
• expired or corrupted token - Report token_expired/token_corrupted from the response; owner mints a fresh scoped link.
• tool returned ok:false / exit nonzero - Do not call it sent. Read the receipt, correct the body, fire a repair.

Receipt loop

After any action, open the receipt. If it is wrong, repair it with POST /api/dispatch {key, body, repairs:"inv_ID"}. If you need to repeat the exact recorded call, replay it with POST /api/dispatch {replay:"inv_ID"}.

§SELF — miscsubjects capability (paste without context)

Principle: Self-explaining payload — no external context required. This _self block is the capability: what it is, how to run it, how to change it, and where to look next. Path: OIP > LOCAL > LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT Capability: LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT — Accessibility snapshot of the frontmost window — role+name+description of each top-level UI element. Semantic, not pixels. The basis for LOCAL_UI_CLICK. When to use: "what is on screen", "list the buttons", "snapshot the UI" — run before clicking by name RUN NOW (open this URL): https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?invoke=LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT&share=<TOKEN> Example call: [LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT][/LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT]

• type · runner: device · mac · computer
• run it: POST https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch {"key":"LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT","body":"<args>"} · from the router: [LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT]args[/LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT]
• inputs: {"args":"none"}
• outputs: { ok, result, invocation, yield, _self } — result is this object's output; yield is tokens/cost/material; invocation is the ledgered record.

Logical proof (verify each step)

1. Every capability is an invokable object with its own _self — this block. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?key=LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT
2. You run it by POSTing to /api/dispatch; in a model turn the router tag is [LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT]args[/LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT]. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?registry=1
3. Every invocation is ledgered with actor, cost, and material/waste. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/invocations?object_id=LOCAL_UI_SNAPSHOT
4. You can ask the build for capabilities in plain language. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?ask=Accessibility%20snapshot%20of%20the%20frontmost%20
5. The whole build is one self-describing map, with the terminal key. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?build=1
