electron

electron is a cursor rule for Cursor from adonai-labs/agent-runway. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidelines for building Electron desktop apps, which combine a web interface with a Node.js desktop process. It covers process separation, secure communication, windows, project structure, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing Electron apps, including their main process, renderer interface, preload scripts, windows, and inter-process communication.
Why use it?
It helps keep web-facing code away from sensitive desktop access and reduces security, communication, lifecycle, and resource-management mistakes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

electron scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Electron Development Guidelines

Directives for building secure, performant Electron applications. Security first; process separation; resource management.

Process Model

  • Main process: Node.js environment, system APIs, window creation, IPC handlers
  • Renderer process: Chromium-based UI; no direct Node.js access
  • IPC: Secure typed communication between processes only

Register global handlers for uncaughtException, unhandledRejection, and render-process-gone; log and shut down gracefully.

  • Co-locate related files; single responsibility per module
  • Dependencies point inward toward domain logic
  • Use path aliases: @main/*, @renderer/*, @shared/*

Security Fundamentals

Context Isolation and Preload

  • Always set nodeIntegration: false and contextIsolation: true
  • Always use a preload script; never expose process, require, or fs to the renderer
  • Expose only the minimal API surface via contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld
// Preload: validate before invoking
saveFile: (data: string) => {
  if (typeof data !== 'string' || data.length > 10000) throw new Error('Invalid data');
  return ipcRenderer.invoke('save-file', data);
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

electron is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository adonai-labs/agent-runway (2 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,345 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
