How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron/blob/HEAD/.claude/skills/electron-build/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/electron-build, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

Electron Build

Build, lint, and test the Rocket.Chat Electron app. Uses git worktrees to avoid disrupting the user's working directory.

Arguments

  • platform (optional): Target platform - mac, win, linux, or all. Defaults to current platform.
  • skip-worktree (optional): If "true", build in the current directory instead of creating a worktree.

Steps

1. Setup

If skip-worktree is not "true":

  1. Create a worktree from the current branch: 
    mkdir -p ../Rocket.Chat.Electron-worktrees
git worktree add ../Rocket.Chat.Electron-worktrees/build-$(git branch --show-current) HEAD
  2. Change to the worktree directory
  3. Install dependencies: yarn

2. Lint

yarn lint

Fix any lint errors before proceeding.

3. Test

yarn test

All tests must pass before building.

4. Build

Build the app bundle:

yarn build

Then build platform packages if requested:

PlatformCommand
macOSyarn build-mac
Windowsyarn build-win (includes --x64 --ia32 --arm64)
Linuxyarn build-linux

5. Workspace Build

If changes touch workspaces/desktop-release-action/:

yarn workspaces:build
rm -rf workspaces/desktop-release-action/dist/dist

6. Cleanup

If a worktree was created:

git worktree remove ../Rocket.Chat.Electron-worktrees/build-$(git branch --show-current)

Report

After completion, report:

  • Lint status (pass/fail with error count)
  • Test status (pass/fail with test count)
  • Build status and output location
