What it does

Electron Builder is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Comprehensive guide for electron-builder (v26.x) packaging, code signing, auto-updates, and release workflows. Use when: (1) configuring electron-builder builds (electron-builder.yml or config.js/ts), (2) setting up macOS/Windows code signing or notarization, (3) implementing auto-updates with electron-updater, (4) publishing to GitHub Releases, S3, or generic servers, (5) configuring platform targets (NSIS, DMG, AppImage, Snap, PKG, MSI), (6) working with build hooks (beforePack, afterSign…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/auto-update.md`, `references/code-signing.md` and `references/configuration.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering App store release and File uploads and storage. It works with Electron, macOS, GitHub and Linux. The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.

When your agent uses it

Configuring electron-builder builds (electron-builder.yml
Setting up macOS/Windows code signing
Implementing auto-updates with electron-updater
Publishing to GitHub Releases

Example prompts

“/electron-builder”

Requirements

A credential in AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
A credential in AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

package.json > "build" key
electron-builder.yml (default, recommended)
electron-builder.json / .json5 / .toml
electron-builder.config.js / .ts
CLI: --config

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0422940. 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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- eus.codesigning.azure.net
Also links to:
- electron.build
- github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- CSC_KEY_PASSWORD
- WIN_CSC_KEY_PASSWORD
- APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD
- AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
- GH_TOKEN
- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
- AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Electron Builder loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 188 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~188
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~13k

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.
