**An Agent Skill for designing cross-platform desktop apps that feel native** — distilled from Raycast's 2.0 technical deep-dive and grounded in reverse-engineering of the shipping `Raycast Beta.app` binary.

Two goals usually pull against each other: convenient cross-platform development, and near-native performance. This skill captures the structural choices — eight architectural tenets, a four-layer architecture, a WebKit/WebView2 survival guide, a 75-item ship audit — that let an app have both.

**Install** — pick one:

**A. With [`skills`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills) (any compatible agent):**

npx skills add yetone/native-feel-skill -g

The `-g` flag installs globally (user-level) so every project picks it up.

**B. Or paste this prompt to your AI agent:**

Install the native-feel skill for me:

1. Clone https://github.com/yetone/native-feel-skill into your
   user-level skills directory as `native-feel-cross-platform-desktop/`
   (whatever path your agent reads skills from on this machine — e.g.
   `~/.claude/skills/` for Claude Code).
2. Verify that SKILL.md plus the references/ and checklists/ subdirs
   are present.
3. Confirm the install path when done.

Use cases

Once installed, the skill activates automatically whenever the conversation touches cross-platform desktop architecture, WebView quirks, or making a UI feel native. Two common ways to use it:
