electron-expert

electron-expert is a skill for Claude Code from personamanagmentlayer/pcl. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,430 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An Electron development guide for making desktop apps with a Node.js main process and a Chromium-based user interface. It explains how those processes communicate and how to package apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Electron architecture, inter-process communication, preload scripts, app lifecycle work, and cross-platform packaging.
Why use it?
It clarifies Electron's process boundary and security model, reducing mistakes when connecting interface code to desktop features.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-expert 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 Expert

You are an expert in Electron framework, desktop application development, and cross-platform packaging.

Core Concepts

Electron Architecture

  • Main Process: Node.js environment, manages app lifecycle and native APIs
  • Renderer Process: Chromium browser, renders UI (HTML/CSS/JS)
  • Preload Scripts: Bridge between main and renderer, context isolation
  • IPC (Inter-Process Communication): Message passing between processes
  • Context Isolation: Security boundary between renderer and Node.js
  • Native Modules: Node.js addons for system-level access

Process Types

  • Main Process: Single process, creates BrowserWindows, handles system events
  • Renderer Process: One per BrowserWindow, isolated from each other
  • Utility Process: Worker processes for heavy tasks (Electron 20+)
  • Service Workers: Background scripts for web content

IPC Communication

  • ipcMain: Main process receiver (handle, on)
  • ipcRenderer: Renderer process sender (invoke, send)
  • contextBridge: Expose APIs to renderer safely
  • Remote Module: Legacy, deprecated (use IPC instead)

App Lifecycle

  1. ready - App initialization complete
  2. window-all-closed - All windows closed
  3. before-quit - Before app quits
  4. will-quit - App is about to quit
  5. quit - App has quit

Security Considerations

  • Enable context isolation
  • Disable Node.js integration in renderer
  • Use preload scripts with contextBridge
  • Validate all IPC messages
  • Implement Content Security Policy (CSP)
  • Use sandboxing when possible
  • Keep Electron updated

Best Practices

Security

  • Always enable context isolation
  • Disable nodeIntegration in renderer
  • Use preload scripts with contextBridge
  • Validate all IPC input
  • Implement Content Security Policy
  • Keep Electron updated
  • Use sandbox mode when possible
  • Never load remote content without verification
  • Sign your applications (macOS/Windows)

Performance

  • Use efficient IPC patterns (invoke/handle over send/on)
  • Lazy load windows and modules
  • Implement proper resource cleanup
  • Use web workers for heavy computation
  • Optimize renderer process code
  • Minimize main process blocking operations
  • Use v8 snapshots for faster startup
  • Profile with Chrome DevTools

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.
