Can I use this for existing Electron projects?

Absolutely. This skill is designed to help migrate projects from legacy ipcRenderer implementations to a modern, type-safe RPC architecture with minimal friction.

Does this skill require Zod?

Yes, the setup utilizes Zod for schema validation, ensuring that data passed between processes is both type-safe and verified at runtime.

How does the directory structure work?

It organizes code into a shared/ directory for types and factories, a main/ directory for service implementation, and a renderer/ directory for type-safe client adapters.

Why use Hono instead of standard Electron IPC?

Hono provides a familiar API development experience, automatic type inference for the frontend, and easy-to-use middleware, making desktop communication more maintainable.

What is Hono-based IPC in Electron?

It is a method of using the Hono framework to create a type-safe Remote Procedure Call (RPC) system between Electron's main and renderer processes, replacing traditional string-based event listeners.

API 개발

Configures type-safe, Hono-based Inter-Process Communication (IPC) for Electron applications to replace legacy ipcRenderer patterns.

소개

This skill automates the setup of a robust, type-safe RPC architecture within Electron applications using the Hono framework. It establishes a standardized directory structure across shared, main, and renderer processes, allowing developers to define backend-like APIs with Zod validation and consume them with full TypeScript intellisense. This approach is ideal for developers building complex desktop applications who want to eliminate the fragility of string-based IPC events and implement a scalable, maintainable communication layer.
