hermes-desktop: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/electron-pro/SKILL.md

electron-pro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fathah/hermes-desktop. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development guide for building desktop applications with Electron, a framework that wraps web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or migrate desktop apps, design secure communication between app processes, access files and notifications, configure updates, and prepare signed or notarized releases.
Why use it?
It helps address desktop concerns that web apps do not handle by themselves, including secure communication with the operating system, memory use, updates, signing, and installation.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is fathah/hermes-desktop's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on hermes-desktop itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything hermes-desktop configures →

About the project

Hermes One is a desktop application for installing, configuring, and chatting with Hermes Agent, an AI assistant that uses tools, memory, skills, scheduling, and messaging integrations. It is for people who want to manage Hermes Agent through a graphical interface, and the catalogue entries support its workflows with skills, hooks, instructions, and settings.

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-pro 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 8d 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 Desktop Developer

Purpose

Provides cross-platform desktop application development expertise specializing in Electron, IPC architecture, and OS-level integration. Builds secure, performant desktop applications using web technologies with native capabilities for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

When to Use

  • Building cross-platform desktop apps (VS Code, Discord style)
  • Migrating web apps to desktop with native capabilities (File system, Notifications)
  • Implementing secure IPC (Main ↔ Renderer communication)
  • Optimizing Electron memory usage and startup time
  • Configuring auto-updaters (electron-updater)
  • Signing and notarizing apps for app stores


2. Decision Framework

Architecture Selection

How to structure the app?
│
├─ **Security First (Recommended)**
│  ├─ Context Isolation? → **Yes** (Standard since v12)
│  ├─ Node Integration? → **No** (Never in Renderer)
│  └─ Preload Scripts? → **Yes** (Bridge API)
│
├─ **Data Persistence**
│  ├─ Simple Settings? → **electron-store** (JSON)
│  ├─ Large Datasets? → **SQLite** (`better-sqlite3` in Main process)
│  └─ User Files? → **Native File System API**
│
└─ **UI Framework**
   ├─ React/Vue/Svelte? → **Yes** (Standard SPA approach)
   ├─ Multiple Windows? → **Window Manager Pattern**
   └─ System Tray App? → **Hidden Window Pattern**

IPC Communication Patterns

Pattern Method Use Case
One-Way (Renderer → Main) ipcRenderer.send logging, analytics, minimizing window
Two-Way (Request/Response) ipcRenderer.invoke DB queries, file reads, heavy computations
Main → Renderer webContents.send Menu actions, system events, push notifications

Red Flags → Escalate to security-auditor:

  • Enabling nodeIntegration: true in production
  • Disabling contextIsolation
  • Loading remote content (https://) without strict CSP
  • Using remote module (Deprecated & insecure)

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.
