Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: 127.0.0.1.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    127.0.0.1local

  • 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 beshkenadze/claude-code-tauri-skills at ef3ee24428.

    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 AI agents to run Node.js code as a sidecar process within a Tauri application. It facilitates executing JavaScript logic alongside the main Tauri application, allowing for tasks like background processing or interacting with native system APIs that are accessible through Node.js. This provides a way to extend the capabilities of Tauri applications using familiar JavaScript development patterns.

When to use it

  • Background Task Processing: Offload computationally intensive tasks from the main UI thread in a Tauri app, ensuring responsiveness.
  • Native API Integration: Access and utilize native system APIs that are more easily exposed through Node.js bindings within your Tauri application.
  • Custom Server Logic: Implement custom server-side logic or microservices directly within the Tauri environment.
  • Extending Tauri Functionality: Add new features to a Tauri app by leveraging the power of Node.js modules and libraries.

Key capabilities

  • Runs Node.js code in a sidecar process.
  • Integrates with Tauri applications.
  • Facilitates background task execution.
  • Enables native API access via Node.js.

Example prompts

  • "Run this Node.js script to fetch data from an external API and update the UI."
  • "Execute this JavaScript code as a sidecar process to perform image processing."
  • "Can you run this Node.js module to interact with the system's file explorer?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with both Tauri and Node.js development environments.
  • Ensure any native dependencies used in your Node.js code are properly configured for Tauri integration.
