Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: timestamp.digicert.com, www.apple.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No credential access: failed

    Touches credential material in 1 place.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned jwynia/agent-skills at e02ec7e226.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The electron-best-practices skill provides AI agents with guidelines for developing robust, secure, and maintainable desktop applications using the Electron framework. It ensures adherence to community standards regarding security configurations, performance optimization, and cross-platform compatibility.

When to use it

  • Building new desktop applications that require native OS integration alongside web technologies.
  • Refactoring existing Electron projects to address security vulnerabilities or performance bottlenecks.
  • Ensuring consistent build pipelines and deployment strategies across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Implementing secure IPC (Inter-Process Communication) patterns between renderer and main processes.

Key capabilities

  • Security hardening for sandboxing and process isolation.
  • Performance optimization techniques for large-scale Electron apps.
  • Cross-platform compatibility checks and configuration management.
  • Best practices for native module integration and dependency handling.

Example prompts

  • "Generate an Electron project structure following security best practices for a cross-platform desktop app."
  • "Identify potential performance bottlenecks in this Electron codebase and suggest optimizations."
  • "Create a deployment script that adheres to Electron build standards for Windows, macOS, and Linux."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to the latest Electron documentation, as framework updates frequently change security requirements. Always validate generated code against current community guidelines before production deployment.
