Use this skill when
- Building new Electron desktop applications from scratch
- Securing an Electron app (contextIsolation, sandbox, CSP, nodeIntegration)
- Setting up IPC communication between main, renderer, and preload processes
- Packaging and distributing Electron apps with electron-builder or electron-forge
- Implementing auto-update with electron-updater
- Debugging main process issues or renderer crashes
- Managing multiple windows and application lifecycle
- Integrating native OS features (menus, tray, notifications, file system dialogs)
- Optimizing Electron app performance and bundle size
Do not use this skill when
- Building web-only applications without desktop distribution → use
