What it does

Electron Release is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Expert guide for Electron production builds, code signing, notarization, auto-updates, and release workflows. Use when building, packaging, or releasing Electron applications, configuring electron-builder, setting up CI/CD pipelines for desktop app distribution, or implementing auto-update mechanisms.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/patterns.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering App store release and CI/CD. It works with Electron, macOS and pnpm. The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.

When your agent uses it

  • Releasing Electron applications
  • Configuring electron-builder
  • Setting up CI/CD pipelines for desktop app distribution
  • Implementing auto-update mechanisms

Example prompts

  • “/electron-release”

Requirements

  • A credential in R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Build Configuration: For electron-vite production config, bundle optimization, and pre-build checks.
  2. Code Signing: Platform-specific signing for Windows (EV certificates), macOS (Developer ID + notarization), and Linux (GPG).
  3. Auto-Updates: electron-updater configuration, staged rollouts, and update testing.
  4. Release Workflows: GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines for multi-platform builds.
  5. Distribution: GitHub Releases, Cloudflare R2, or private server hosting.

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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and git, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD
    • R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    • R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

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

Context cost

Electron Release loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 684 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.6k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 684 words (~1,646 tokens).

“This skill provides enterprise-grade best practices for building, signing, releasing, and distributing Electron applications with emphasis on security, reliability, performance, and user trust.”
