Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned dchuk/claude-code-tauri-skills at 855352dfbc.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables Tauri-based applications to integrate a native system tray icon, allowing the app to remain visible in the taskbar even when minimized or running in the background. It provides essential lifecycle management for the tray icon, including commands to show, hide, and quit the application.

When to use it

  • Desktop Background Services: Keep long-running utilities like file converters or download managers accessible without occupying a full window.
  • System Integration: Ensure your desktop app appears consistently in the operating system's notification area for quick access.
  • Resource Efficiency: Minimize memory and CPU usage by hiding the main application window while maintaining functionality via the tray.
  • User Convenience: Allow users to easily launch, pause, or exit the application with a single click on the tray icon.

Key capabilities

  • Adds a native system tray icon to Tauri applications.
  • Implements commands to show and hide the application window.
  • Provides functionality to quit the application directly from the tray.
  • Ensures the app remains responsive in the background.

Example prompts

  • "Add a system tray icon to my Tauri app that shows when I minimize the main window."
  • "Update the tray menu to include options for pausing and resuming the download process."
  • "Configure the application to quit automatically when the user right-clicks the tray icon."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Tauri project is properly configured with the necessary permissions to access the system tray, as this varies by operating system. Test the tray functionality on both desktop and mobile platforms, as system tray support may differ or be unavailable on some devices.
