What it does

Provides step-by-step guidance for automating Electron-based desktop applications by connecting agent-browser to Electron's Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). Covers launch flags, connecting, snapshotting UI, interacting with elements, tab/webview management, screenshots, data extraction, form filling, and troubleshooting.

When to use it

Use when an automation task targets a native Electron desktop app (e.g., Slack, VS Code, Discord) and you need to control UI, take screenshots, extract data, or run automated tests via CDP. Useful for agents that can run shell commands and interact with agent-browser.

What's included

Scripts: none bundled (has_scripts=false)
References: none bundled (has_references=false)
Instructions: practical commands and examples for launching apps with remote-debugging, connecting agent-browser, snapshot/interact cycles, tab/webview handling, and troubleshooting common connection issues. Includes platform-specific launch examples (macOS/Linux/Windows).

Compatible agents

Best for agent environments that can execute shell commands and use agent-browser (Claude Code, Codex/Copilot-style agents, Cursor).

Audit Summary

Electron App Automation skill enables controlling Electron desktop apps (Slack, VS Code, Discord, etc.) via Chrome DevTools Protocol using agent-browser. No bundled scripts — purely instruction-based. Well-documented with platform-specific launch commands, troubleshooting, and common patterns. Clean security profile with no risky commands or data exfiltration concerns.

Watch Out

Requires agent-browser CLI tool to be installed
Apps must be launched with --remote-debugging-port flag — already-running apps need to be restarted
macOS-specific open -a commands won't work on Linux/Windows without adaptation

Notes

Solid, practical skill for desktop app automation. No scripts to test — static analysis only. The skill is instruction-focused and well-structured with good cross-platform coverage. Minor architectural improvement possible by extracting supported apps list to references/.
