 - `skip_build`: Whether the action should execute the NPM build script before running `electron-builder`
 - `use_vue_cli`: Whether to run `electron-builder` using the [Vue CLI plugin](https://nklayman.github.io/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder) instead of calling the command directly
 - `args`: Other arguments to pass to the `electron-builder` command, e.g. configuration overrides (default: `""`)
