+name: desktop-brand-builder
+description: Generate a branded Qwen Code desktop package from the Tauri desktop shell using a minimal brandId and logo. Use when the user wants a custom, white-label, or rebranded desktop client, installer, DMG/EXE/AppImage/deb, or one-click brand build on top of packages/desktop-shell.
+---
+
+# Desktop Brand Builder (Tauri shell)
+
+## Goal
+
+Create a branded desktop package from `packages/desktop-shell` with the least
+user input possible. The user should usually provide only:
+
+```text
+brandId: acme-ai
+logo: /absolute/path/to/logo.png
+website: https://acme.ai
+```
+
+`website` is optional. Do not ask for app name, app id, artifact name,
+copyright, or updater endpoints unless the user explicitly asks to override
+them.
+
+This skill replaces the Electron-era brand builder that lived in the removed
+`packages/desktop`. The Tauri shell is the only desktop implementation now;
+branding hooks are `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`, `src-tauri/icons/`, and the
+`bootstrap/` startup UI.
+
+## Input Rules
+
+Required fields:
+
+- `brandId`: must match `^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$`
+- `logo`: local file path; must exist; `.png` recommended (square, >= 1024px)
+
+Optional overrides:
+
+- `website`
+- `appName`
+- `appId` (Tauri bundle identifier)
+- `artifactPrefix`
+- `updaterEndpoints` (JSON array; empty array disables in-app updates)
+- `target`: `mac`, `win`, `linux`, or `all`
+
+If required input is missing, ask once:
+
+```text
+请提供：
+brandId: 例如 acme-ai，只能小写字母、数字、短横线
+logo: 本地 logo 文件路径（建议 1024x1024 PNG）
+website: 可选
+```
+
+Once the required fields are present, proceed without a confirmation step.
+
+## Derived Defaults
+
+Infer missing values deterministically:
+
+- `appName`: title-case the hyphen-separated `brandId`; `acme-ai` becomes
+  `Acme AI`
+- `artifactPrefix`: title-case the hyphen-separated `brandId` and join with
+  hyphens; `acme-ai` becomes `Acme-AI`
+- `appId`: if `website` has a valid host, reverse the host labels and append
+  `.desktop`; `https://acme.ai` becomes `ai.acme.desktop`
+- fallback `appId`: `app.<brandId>.desktop`
+- `updaterEndpoints`: empty by default. A branded build must never poll the
+  official Qwen Code updater feed, and the official feed must never update a
+  branded build. Only set endpoints when the user supplies their own feed.
+
+## Workflow
+
+Work in an isolated build clone so the working repository stays clean:
+
+```bash
+BUILD_ROOT="$PWD/brand-builds/<brandId>-<timestamp>"
+mkdir -p "$BUILD_ROOT"
+git clone --branch main --single-branch \
+  https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code.git \
+  "$BUILD_ROOT/qwen-code"
+cd "$BUILD_ROOT/qwen-code"
+git checkout -B brand-<brandId> origin/main
+```
+
+If the clone or checkout fails, stop and report the failure. Do not continue
+as if `brand-<brandId>` was created.
+
+Create a temporary `brand.json` in the build directory:
+
+```json
+{
+  "brandId": "acme-ai",
+  "logo": "/absolute/path/to/logo.png",
+  "website": "https://acme.ai",
+  "appName": "Acme AI",
+  "appId": "ai.acme.desktop",
+  "artifactPrefix": "Acme-AI",
+  "updaterEndpoints": []
+}
+```
+
+Install desktop-shell dependencies if `packages/desktop-shell/node_modules`
+is missing:
+
+```bash
+cd packages/desktop-shell
+npm install --workspaces=false
+cd ../..
+```
+
+Then run this skill's bundled brand creation script with plain Node (the
+script has no dependencies beyond Node >= 18):
+
+```bash
+node packages/desktop-shell/.agents/skills/desktop-brand-builder/scripts/brand-create.mjs \
+  --shell-root /absolute/path/to/qwen-code/packages/desktop-shell \
+  --config /absolute/path/to/brand.json
+```
+
+The agent should not hand-edit `tauri.conf.json`, icon files, or bootstrap
+brand strings when this bundled script is available. The bundled script is the
+source of truth for patching config and generating resources.
+
+What the script does:
+
+1. Patches `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`: `productName`, `identifier`,
+   `bundle.shortDescription`, and `plugins.updater.endpoints`.
+2. Regenerates the full icon set from the logo via
+   `npx --yes @tauri-apps/cli icon <logo>` (falls back to a warning if the
+   CLI cannot run; in that case copy the logo over `src-tauri/icons/icon.png`
+   manually and tell the user the remaining sizes are stale).
+3. Patches the bootstrap UI: page title, brand heading, startup strings in
+   `bootstrap/index.html` and `bootstrap/bootstrap.js`, and replaces
+   `bootstrap/qwen-code-logo.svg` usage with the brand logo.
+
+Package with the current host target unless the user requested a target:
+
+```bash
+cd packages/desktop-shell
+npm run build:runtime --workspaces=false
+npx tauri build            # current platform
+npx tauri build --target aarch64-apple-darwin   # explicit macOS arm64
+```
+
+For `target: all`, run only targets supported by the current machine or CI
+environment. Do not claim cross-platform artifacts were produced unless the
+files exist. Artifacts land under `packages/desktop-shell/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/`.
+
+## Signing and Updates
+
+Branded builds are unsigned by default. The upstream release pipeline's
+signing secrets (Apple, Windows) and updater private key belong to the
+official Qwen Code releases only. For a brand that needs signed releases or
+in-app updates, set up separate credentials and a separate updater feed; do
+not reuse the upstream ones.
+
+## Validation
+
+After packaging:
+
+1. Confirm the expected artifact exists under
+   `packages/desktop-shell/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/`
+   (`dmg/`, `nsis/`, `appimage/`, or `deb/`).
+2. Compute `sha256sum` or `shasum -a 256` for each artifact.
+3. On macOS, run `hdiutil verify` for generated DMG files.
+4. Report the artifact path, SHA-256, app name, app id, and build directory.
+
+## Failure Handling
+
+- Invalid `brandId`: show the regex and ask for a corrected value.
+- Missing `logo`: ask for a valid local path.
+- Missing bundled script: report that
+  `packages/desktop-shell/.agents/skills/desktop-brand-builder/scripts/brand-create.mjs`
+  is missing, and include the expected command.
+- Build failure: preserve the build directory, return the last useful error
+  lines, and include the full log path or command that produced the failure.
+
+Do not delete the build directory on failure.
