Live repository

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

    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 facilitates communication between Rust code running within a Tauri application and its associated frontend (likely JavaScript/TypeScript). It leverages Tauri's built-in mechanisms for inter-process communication, specifically focusing on event systems, channels, and JavaScript evaluation to enable data transfer and trigger actions in either the backend or frontend. This allows developers to build applications where Rust handles backend logic and interacts with a web-based user interface.

When to use it

  • When you need to send progress updates (e.g., download status) from Rust code to the frontend for display.
  • For triggering specific actions in the frontend based on events happening within the Rust backend, such as authentication success or failure.
  • To communicate data between different webviews within a Tauri application.
  • When you need to selectively target certain webviews with event emissions.

Key capabilities

  • Event System: Enables bi-directional communication between Rust and frontend code.
  • Global Events (AppHandle::emit()): Broadcasts events to all listeners in the application.
  • Webview-Specific Events (AppHandle::emit_to()): Targets specific webviews for event delivery.
  • Filtered Events (AppHandle::emit_filter()): Allows conditional targeting of webviews based on their labels.
  • Custom Event Payloads: Supports sending structured data via events, requiring payloads to implement Serialize and Clone.

Example prompts

While this skill doesn't directly respond to natural language prompts, here are examples of how you might instruct a developer using the skill:

  • "Implement a Rust command that emits a 'download-started' event with the URL when a download begins."
  • "Create a Tauri event listener in the frontend to display login results received from the backend."
  • "Use emit_filter to send an "open-file" event only to webviews labeled 'main' or 'file-viewer'."

Tips & gotchas

  • Serialization: Ensure any data sent as event payloads implements the Serialize trait.
  • Webview Labels: When using emit_to and emit_filter, ensure you know the correct labels of your webviews.
  • Event System Limitations: The event system is not suitable for high-throughput or low-latency communication; consider channels for those scenarios (not described in this skill's documentation).
