electron

Automate Electron desktop apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify, etc.) using agent-browser via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Use when the user needs to interact with an Electron app, automate a desktop app, connect to a running app, control a native app, or test an Electron application. Triggers include "automate Slack app", "control VS Code", "interact with Discord app", "test this Electron app", "connect to desktop app", or any task requiring automation of a native Electron application.

# Electron App Automation Automate any Electron desktop app using agent-browser. Electron apps are built on Chromium and expose a Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) port that agent-browser can connect to, enabling the same snapshot-interact workflow used for web pages. ## Core Workflow 1. **Launch** the Electron app with remote debugging enabled 2. **Connect** agent-browser to the CDP port 3. **Snapshot** to discover interactive elements 4. **Interact** using element refs 5. **Re-snapshot** after navigation or state changes ```bash # Launch an Electron app with remote debugging open -a "Slack" --args --remote-debugging-port=9222 # Connect agent-browser to the app agent-browser connect 9222 # Standard workflow from here agent-browser snapshot -i agent-browser click @e5 agent-browser screenshot slack-desktop.png ``` ## Launching Electron Apps with CDP Every Electron app supports the `--remote-debugging-port` flag since it's built into Chromium. ### macOS ```bash # Slack open -a "Slack" --args --remote-debugging-port=9222 # VS Code open -a "Visual Studio Code" --args --remote-debugging-port=9223 # Discord open -a "Discord" --args --remote-debugging-port=9224 # Figma open -a "Figma" --args

About this skill
What does the electron skill do?

Automate Electron desktop apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify, etc.) using agent-browser via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Use when the user needs to interact with an Electron app, automate a desktop app, connect to a running app, control a native app, or test an Electron application. Triggers include "automate Slack app", "control VS Code", "interact with Discord app", "test this Electron app", "connect to desktop app", or any task requiring automation of a native Electron application.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add fcakyon/claude-codex-settings --skill electron --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From fcakyon/claude-codex-settings, a repository with 967 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
