Process Communication & IPC
Guides multi-process communication across Electron main, React renderer, WebSocket server, and game client integrations.
The Process Communication skill provides structured patterns and typed message architectures for managing inter-process communication in multi-process Electron and Node.js applications. It details end-to-end workflows for bidirectional WebSocket request-response cycles, server push notifications, Electron IPC channel bridging via preload scripts, and external game plugin integration. Developers can seamlessly implement new message handlers, error-handling routines, and typed payloads to ensure safe, scalable coordination between background tasks, UI state, and OS-level operations.
