What problem does it solve?
Launch, automate, and validate Electron desktop apps using playwright-cli via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Use this skill to validate UI changes in Orca, test features in the running Electron app, verify code fixes work end-to-end, or automate any Electron app (VS Code, Slack, Discord, etc.). Triggers include "validate in Electron", "test in the app", "verify the fix", "check the UI", "/electron", "automate Slack app", "control VS Code", or any task requiring interaction with a running Electron application.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Attach to a running Electron app via CDP and snapshot its UI state for validation.
- Automate interactions, verify UI changes, and run end-to-end validation across Electron-based apps (Slack, VS Code, Discord, Notion, etc.).
- Use safe, guided workflows with explicit prefixing to avoid terminating processes unexpectedly.
Quick Start
Launch an Electron app with remote debugging enabled and run an automation sequence to validate the UI.
