Tauri

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to assist with developing desktop and mobile applications using Tauri, a framework that combines a Rust core process with an OS WebView frontend. It provides support for scaffolding projects, configuring application capabilities and permissions, authoring plugins, and managing various aspects of the development lifecycle, including project structure, IPC (Inter-Process Communication), and debugging. The skill is based on Tauri v2.

When to use it

• Project Setup: When you need help creating a new Tauri application from scratch.
• Configuration Assistance: For configuring tauri.conf.json files or managing platform-specific settings.
• Plugin Development: If you're building custom plugins for your Tauri application.
• Debugging and Troubleshooting: When encountering issues with the core process, WebView processes, or inter-process communication.

Key capabilities

• Project scaffolding using create-tauri-app or tauri init.
• Configuration of application capabilities and permissions.
• Management of IPC events and commands.
• Support for various frontend frameworks like Vite, Next.js, Nuxt.js, SvelteKit, Leptos, and Trunk.
• Assistance with debugging tools and techniques (Rust console, WebView devtools).

Example prompts

• "Create a new Tauri project named 'my-app'."
• "How do I configure the tauri.conf.json file to enable window creation?"
• "Explain the difference between IPC events and commands in Tauri."

Tips & gotchas

• Prerequisites: Developing with Tauri requires system dependencies including Rust, Node.js, WebView2, and potentially Android/iOS SDKs for mobile development.
• Version Compatibility: The skill is based on Tauri v2 (generated at 2026-01-30), so compatibility with other versions may vary.
