desktop-storage-electron SKILL.md skillA
desktop-storage-electron from agents-inc/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add agents-inc/skills/desktop-storage-electron@git:20261016.afd0e14Pins git:20261016.afd0e14 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Persistent storage, SQLite databases, and credential management in Electron apps.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Electron Storage & Credentials
> **Quick Guide:** Use `electron-store` for typed JSON preferences (small key-value config with schema validation, migrations, and file watching). Use `better-sqlite3` for structured/relational data or anything beyond simple key-value (synchronous, WAL mode, transactions). Use `safeStorage` for encrypting secrets like tokens and API keys via the OS keychain -- it replaces the deprecated `keytar`. All persistent data belongs under `app.getPath("userData")`. Never store secrets in plain JSON files.

## CRITICAL: Before Using This Skill
**(You MUST use `safeStorage.encryptString()` / `safeStorage.decryptString()` for secrets -- never store tokens, API keys, or passwords in plain text or in electron-store without OS-level encryption)**
**(You MUST store all persistent data under `app.getPath("userData")` -- never write to the app installation directory, which is replaced on updates)**
**(You MUST enable WAL mode (`PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL`) when using better-sqlite3 -- it prevents readers from blocking writers and avoids SQLITE_BUSY errors in multi-window apps)**

How to install
mdr add agents-inc/skills/desktop-storage-electron@sha256:3982f77de8fc9edeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.afd0e14, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
