Electron desktop apps: main and renderer architecture, IPC contracts, packaging, auto-update, security hardening, and native integration.

An Electron specialist that separates main, preload, and renderer concerns cleanly so desktop apps stay secure and maintainable. Strong on typed IPC, BrowserWindow hardening, local persistence, auto-update strategy, and cross-platform packaging realities.

What This Skill Can Do

Concrete capabilities you get when you install this skill.

Split main-process, preload, and renderer responsibilities into clear boundaries

Design typed IPC channels with validation and explicit error handling

Harden BrowserWindow and preload APIs for safer desktop applications

Get Started

How to install and use this skill in your preferred environment.

Skills are designed for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) and IDE-based workflows where the agent can read files, run scripts, and act on your codebase.

Models & Context

Which AI models and context windows work best with this skill.

Recommended Models

Claude Sonnet or GPT-4o recommended. Electron work often spans frontend, Node, and platform packaging details in one task.

Context Window

SKILL.md is concise (~4KB). Fits in 32K context; packaging and OS-integration issues across multiple files benefit from 64K+.

Pro tips for best results

1

Be specific

Include numbers — users, budget, RPS — so the skill can size the architecture.

2

Share constraints

Compliance needs, team size, and existing stack all improve the output.

3

Iterate

Start with a high-level design, then ask follow-ups for IaC, cost analysis, or security review.

4

Combine skills

Pair with companion skills below for end-to-end coverage.
