Description
desktop is an agent skill from the LobeHub repository that guides development of the Electron desktop app. It describes the main-renderer architecture: the main process in apps/desktop/src/main handles the app lifecycle, system APIs and window management; the renderer process reuses the web code from src/; and preload scripts in apps/desktop/src/preload expose the main process to the renderer in a controlled way. The skill then gives the steps for adding a feature. The first is to create a controller in apps/desktop/src/main/controllers, built on the ControllerModule and IpcMethod exports, and then expose it to the renderer through IPC handlers and the preload scripts, with window and menu changes where needed. It is useful for contributors who need to add a native capability to LobeHub's desktop build, because the skill keeps the renderer code separate from system access. It is limited to the desktop app's own structure and does not describe the web app or the server. The skill passes Gen Agent Trust Hub and Snyk, and Socket shows a warning on skills.sh. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/lobehub/lobehub --skill desktop.…
