How is the communication between the main and renderer process handled?

It uses a type-safe IPC pattern via a preload script and contextBridge, ensuring that the renderer process never has direct access to Node.js APIs.

Does this skill support native C++ modules?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on integrating and rebuilding native modules like better-sqlite3 and node-pty to avoid NODE_MODULE_VERSION mismatches.

Can I use this for macOS app store distribution?

Yes, it includes pre-configured electron-builder settings and macOS entitlements files required for hardened runtime and app store compliance.

How does it handle Electron security best practices?

The skill enforces context isolation, disables node integration in the renderer process, and provides patterns for machine-derived encryption keys for local storage.

Developer Tools

Builds secure, production-ready desktop applications using Electron 33, Vite, React, and TypeScript with type-safe IPC and native module support.

This skill provides a comprehensive architectural foundation for creating modern cross-platform desktop applications. It emphasizes security by enforcing context isolation and providing patterns for type-safe Inter-Process Communication (IPC) via contextBridge. Developers can quickly implement complex features like OAuth authentication with custom protocol handlers, integrate native C++ modules such as better-sqlite3, and manage local storage with machine-unique encryption. The skill also includes standardized configurations for electron-builder to streamline the packaging, code signing, and distribution process across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
