electron-builder-config

Generate and validate electron-builder configuration for multi-platform desktop builds. This skill handles the complete configuration for building Electron applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux with proper code signing, auto-update channels, and platform-specific installers.

Capabilities

• Generate complete electron-builder.yml or electron-builder.json5 configuration
• Configure platform-specific build targets (NSIS, DMG, AppImage, DEB, RPM, Snap, Flatpak)
• Set up code signing for Windows (Authenticode) and macOS (Developer ID)
• Configure auto-update settings with electron-updater
• Optimize build artifacts with compression and deduplication
• Validate existing configurations for common issues
• Generate CI/CD build scripts for GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, CircleCI
