What it does

Electron App Audit is an agent skill from SpecterOps/skills. Audit a local downloaded Electron package/path or a named Electron app and produce a deep worksheet for patchability, entrypoints, and install-chain behavior. Use when deciding whether an app is a good candidate and how to modify it.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Education, covering Educational content. It works with Electron. The repository describes itself as: A marketplace for LLM skills. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Deciding whether an app is a good candidate and how to modify it
  • Tasks that involve Educational content

Example prompts

  • “/electron-app-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify whether the target is a local package or a named app.
  2. Determine the packaging layout and locate the main-process entrypoint.
  3. Inspect how install/update is handled and whether the chain resembles Squirrel.
  4. Identify likely payload injection points and any metadata/repackaging constraints.
  5. Assess whether post-install continuity would require continuation logic, quit suppression, or a hidden keepalive window.
  6. Conclude with a decision memo backed by the worksheet details.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e655f93. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Electron App Audit loads about 338 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~338

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.

Electron App Audit

Use this skill when auditing either:

  • a local installer/package/path, or
  • a named Electron app

Required Output

Produce a deep worksheet covering:

  • packaging shape
  • unpacking location(s)
  • main-process entrypoint
  • update/install mechanism
  • whether it is Squirrel-like or similarly patchable
  • likely patch points
  • persistence/install-continuation considerations
  • blockers, unknowns, and caveats
  • go / no-go conclusion

Workflow

  1. Identify whether the target is a local package or a named app.
  2. Determine the packaging layout and locate the main-process entrypoint.
  3. Inspect how install/update is handled and whether the chain resembles Squirrel.
  4. Identify likely payload injection points and any metadata/repackaging constraints.
  5. Assess whether post-install continuity would require continuation logic, quit suppression, or a hidden keepalive window.
  6. Conclude with a decision memo backed by the worksheet details.

Output Style

Prefer a handoff-ready worksheet over a short verdict.
