Electron App Automation
Automate Electron desktop apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify, etc.) using agent-browser via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Use when the user needs to interact with an Electron app, automate a desktop app, connect to a running app, control a native app, or test an Electron application. Triggers include "au
Overview
The Electron App Automation skill, hosted in the mxyhi/ok-skills repository, provides a mechanism for AI agents to interface with desktop applications built on the Electron framework. By utilizing the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) via an agent-browser, the skill enables programmatic control over popular software including VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, and Spotify. It is specifically designed for scenarios requiring native app interaction, connection to active application instances, or automated software testing. This skill is compatible with several major AI agents such as Claude-code, Cursor, and Codex. The parent repository currently holds 423 stars on GitHub, reflecting its utility within the browser-automation category for developers seeking to bridge agentic workflows with desktop environments.

Security Notes
Automation via the Chrome DevTools Protocol requires the ability to connect to local application ports. Users must ensure target applications are launched with the necessary debugging flags and that the environment restricts protocol access to authorized agents to prevent unauthorized local process manipulation.
