This skill provides a structured, frontmatter-driven guide for developing Electron-based desktop features, helping teams implement IPC handlers, preload scripts, window management, and menus with clear patterns and best practices.
Create a new Electron feature by following the controller-service-model pattern shown in this guide, wiring a new IPC handler, its service, and a corresponding renderer service.

To set up Electron IPC handlers, wire a new IPC method in the main process, expose it securely through preload scripts, and call it from the renderer. This pattern cleanly separates desktop window management logic from UI components.
Electron window management and menu configuration are handled in the main process. You create browser windows, define native menus, and wire IPC channels to communicate securely with the renderer process using preload scripts.
A preload script bridges the Electron main and renderer processes by securely exposing IPC channels. It allows the renderer to invoke main process handlers, enabling structured desktop window management and feature wiring without exposing Node.js APIs directly.
The best way to architect an Electron desktop feature is using a structured controller-service-model pattern. This separates IPC handlers, services, and renderer calls, providing clear references and best practices for maintaining main and renderer processes.
Yes, preload scripts are essential for securing IPC communication in Electron. They act as a controlled bridge between the main and renderer processes, ensuring that desktop window management and IPC handlers operate safely without leaking Node.js APIs.
