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 passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • 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 undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    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 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 credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

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

  • 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 mindrally/skills at 7682ca7771.

    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

What it does

This skill assists AI agents in developing Electron applications, which are used to build cross-platform desktop apps. It provides guidance on core principles like security best practices, separating main and renderer process concerns using IPC (Inter-Process Communication), proper window management, and implementing context isolation. The skill also details project structure conventions and demonstrates techniques for secure communication between processes.

When to use it

  • When building a desktop application that needs to run on multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).
  • If you need help structuring your Electron project with clear separation of concerns.
  • For guidance on implementing secure IPC communication between the main and renderer processes.
  • To ensure proper window management in your Electron app.

Key capabilities

  • Security Best Practices: Guidance on context isolation, Content Security Policy (CSP), and other security measures for Electron apps.
  • Process Separation: Instructions for separating concerns between the main and renderer processes.
  • IPC Communication: Examples of how to use IPC for communication between the main and renderer processes.
  • Window Management: Provides code examples for creating, configuring, and handling window events in an Electron application.
  • Project Structure: Defines a standard project structure including src/main, src/renderer, src/preload, and src/shared directories.

Example prompts

  • "Show me how to implement context isolation in my Electron app."
  • "Give me an example of using IPC to send data from the renderer process to the main process."
  • "What's a good way to manage windows in my Electron application?"
  • “Explain how to set up Content Security Policy for my electron app”

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill focuses on providing guidelines and code snippets; it does not automate the entire development process.
  • Understanding the difference between the main and renderer processes is crucial for effective use of this skill.
  • Pay close attention to security best practices, particularly regarding context isolation and IPC communication, to avoid vulnerabilities in your application.
