add-ipc-surface SKILL.md skillA
add-ipc-surface from hua-bang/pulse-agent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when adding or extending a capability that spans main + preload + renderer (a new IPC domain or new channels on an existing one). Covers the shared-contract placement trap, the per-file boundary allowlist, the streaming pattern, the bootstrap wire describe-canvas cannot see, and the lockstep rename rule.
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
# Add a Cross-Process IPC Surface
An ordered procedure. Gives the SEQUENCE and the landmines; FACTS live in the
sources it points to — do not restate them here. The `artifacts` domain is the
cleanest complete worked example of the whole chain: `src/shared/artifacts.ts`
→ `src/main/artifacts/{store,ipc}.ts` → `src/preload/bridge/artifacts.ts` →
renderer via `window.canvasWorkspace.artifacts`.
## Steps
1. **Snapshot the contract first.** `node harness/tools/describe-canvas.mjs`
(from the app dir) — the IPC section is your baseline; re-run at the end
and the diff is exactly the contract surface you added.
2. **Contract before implementation.** Put the JSON-safe data shapes in
`src/shared/<domain>.ts` (runtime-neutral: no Electron/Node/process
imports — `architecture-boundaries.md` rules are test-enforced). Defining
the promise-returning Api interface up front lets main, preload, and
renderer be written independently against it.
3. **Where the Api interface goes.** Api interfaces (e.g. `ArtifactsApi`)
live in `src/shared/api/<domain>.ts`, or in `src/shared/<domain>.ts` next
to the data shapes for newer domains. The bridge imports them from there

How to install
mdr add hua-bang/pulse-agent/add-ipc-surface@sha256:6f44b8b0eab9fdd0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.71069e6, 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.
