# surfsense_local Electron desktop (`electron/`) plus bundled backend and Vite SPA (`frontend/`). No official Electron skill — this file is the desktop map. Root `AGENTS.md` owns organization. ## Commands ```bash cd electron && pnpm dev cd electron && pnpm test cd electron && pnpm typecheck ./scripts/bump-version.sh ``` Version is `VERSION`. `scripts/bump-version.sh` writes it through the desktop package files. ## Do - New modules: vertical slice, one responsibility per file. See root `AGENTS.md`. - Each feature has a doc in `docs/architecture/` at the repo root. Read it before changing the feature, and update it in the same change. - React UI, colors, polish, motion in `frontend/`: `frontend-workflow` skill. - shadcn components (`frontend/components.json`): `shadcn` skill after `frontend-workflow`, not instead of it — separate, and it inspects the project live. - New behavior: `tdd` skill. - Interface text in `frontend/`: `translate` skill. The application menu is not translated: Electron roles, plus a few English items of ours in `electron/src/main/menu/`. ## Do not - Do not rewrite the Electron shell to the new layout unless that is the task.
