## What it does

This skill guides integrating the Zoom Meeting SDK into Electron desktop apps through Node addon bridges. It documents the core meeting lifecycle, from initialization to session teardown. For debugging, it includes a 5-minute preflight checklist in `RUNBOOK.md`.

Do not store credentials in the client. Generate SDK JWTs on your backend server, because bundling secrets into Electron exposes them to extraction. Raw data streaming and IPC messaging demand explicit security hardening before shipping to production. Feature availability also shifts across operating systems and SDK releases.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill electron -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/electron/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill electron -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/electron/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/electron/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/electron/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install openai/plugins electron
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/electron/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/zoom/skills/meeting-sdk/electron
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/electron/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/zoom/skills/meeting-sdk/electron/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- implement the meeting lifecycle from initialization to resource cleanup
- move JWT authentication token generation to the backend
- embed meeting join and start routines through Node addons
- secure Electron IPC channels when streaming raw audio and video data

## Example prompts
- Scaffold the Zoom Meeting SDK lifecycle in an Electron application
- Show how to handle JWT authentication callbacks without exposing API secrets
- Run through the preflight debugging checklist from RUNBOOK.md for the Electron wrapper

# Zoom Meeting SDK (Electron)

Use this skill when building Electron desktop apps that embed Zoom Meeting SDK capabilities through the Electron wrapper.

## Start Here

1. **[Lifecycle Workflow](concepts/lifecycle-workflow.md)** - init -> auth -> join/start -> in-meeting -> cleanup
2. **[SDK Architecture Pattern](concepts/sdk-architecture-pattern.md)** - service/controller/event model in Electron
3. **[Setup Guide](examples/setup-guide.md)** - dependency and build expectations
4. **[Authentication Pattern](examples/authentication-pattern.md)** - SDK JWT generation and auth callbacks
5. **[Join Meeting Pattern](examples/join-meeting-pattern.md)** - start/join meeting execution flow
6. **[SKILL.md](SKILL.md)** - full navigation

## Core Notes

- Electron wrapper is built on top of native Meeting SDK with Node addon bridges.
- Keep SDK key/secret server-side; generate SDK JWT on backend.
- Feature support differs by platform/version; check module docs before implementation.
- Raw data and IPC patterns require explicit security hardening in production.
