Generate mocks for Electron APIs (ipcMain, ipcRenderer, dialog, etc.) for unit testing
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill electron-mock-factory --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# electron-mock-factory Generate mocks for Electron APIs to enable unit testing of main and renderer process code without running Electron. ## Capabilities - Mock ipcMain/ipcRenderer - Mock dialog module - Mock BrowserWindow - Mock shell, clipboard, app - Generate Jest/Vitest mocks - Create test utilities ## Input Schema ```json { "type": "object", "properties": { "projectPath": { "type": "string" }, "testFramework": { "enum": ["jest", "vitest", "mocha"] }, "modulesToMock": { "type": "array" } }, "required": ["projectPath"] } ``` ## Generated Mocks ```javascript // __mocks__/electron.js module.exports = { app: { getPath: jest.fn(name => `/mock/${name}`), getVersion: jest.fn(() => '1.0.0'), quit: jest.fn(), on: jest.fn() }, ipcMain: { on: jest.fn(), handle: jest.fn(), removeHandler: jest.fn() }, ipcRenderer: { on: jest.fn(), send: jest.fn(), invoke: jest.fn() }, dialog: { showOpenDialog: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ filePaths: [] })), showSaveDialog: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ filePath: undefined })), showMessageBox: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve({ response: 0 })) }, BrowserWindow: jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => ({ loadURL: jest.fn(), on: jest.fn(), webContents: { send:

What does the electron-mock-factory skill do?
Generate mocks for Electron APIs (ipcMain, ipcRenderer, dialog, etc.) for unit testing
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill electron-mock-factory --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 a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 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.
