Comprehensive Electron framework guidance for building cross-platform desktop applications.
Works with
Covers main process, renderer process, preload scripts, and IPC communication patterns with code examples
Includes API reference and practical examples for BrowserWindow, Menu, Tray, Dialog, and other core modules
Provides best practices for security (nodeIntegration, preload scripts), process separation, and resource management
Addresses packaging, auto-updates, native module compatibility
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionelectronExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches electron from teachingai/full-stack-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate electron. Access via /electron in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example
Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example
Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

This skill is organized to match the Electron official documentation structure (https://www.electronjs.org/zh/docs/latest/, https://www.electronjs.org/zh/docs/latest/api/app). When working with Electron:
Identify the topic from the user's request:

Steps
Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: electron is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.
electron has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
We added electron from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
electron fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
I recommend electron for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.

Useful defaults in electron — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
