What it does

Bangle Desktop Release is an agent skill from bangle-io/bangle-io. Build, test, package, and release the Bangle.io Electron desktop app. Use when working on desktop nightlies, stable desktop releases, Electron smoke tests, updater artifacts, or macOS signing/notarization.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: A web only WYSIWYG note taking app that saves notes locally in markdown format. v2: https://app.bangle.io/. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on desktop nightlies
  • Stable desktop releases
  • Electron smoke tests
  • Updater artifacts

Example prompts

  • “/bangle-desktop-release”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c3310c5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bangle Desktop Release loads about 297 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 86 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~297

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Bangle Desktop Release

Use the root scripts as the source of truth. Do not duplicate release logic in the skill.

Commands

Run from the repository root:

bash
pnpm desktop:build
pnpm desktop:open
pnpm desktop:ci
pnpm desktop:dist -- --channel nightly --version <version>
pnpm desktop:dist -- --channel latest --version <version>
pnpm desktop:release:stable -- --version X.Y.Z

For local Electron UI verification:

bash
pnpm desktop:open

desktop:release:stable owns stable versioning, validation, committing, tagging, and pushing. If a user asks for a stable desktop release, use that command rather than manually recreating its steps.

Required Checks

Before treating desktop release work as complete, run:

bash
pnpm lint:ci
pnpm test:ci
pnpm build
pnpm desktop:ci
pnpm local-ci-check

For UI-affecting changes, also use a local Electron smoke through the app UI and report any exact failure.
