Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install electron-desktop-app-guide

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent guides the structure of an Electron app: main and renderer processes, IPC exchanges between them, context isolation, sandboxing and windows. It also applies security, performance and versioning best practices. You get code that follows these recommendations.
