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

The optimizing-tauri-binary-size skill provides instructions for reducing the file size of Tauri application binaries. It covers techniques such as stripping debug symbols, enabling LTO, and configuring bundlers to minimize distribution footprint.

When to use it

  • Distributing desktop applications where download speed is critical for users on slow connections.
  • Meeting strict storage constraints on embedded devices or low-end hardware.
  • Reducing bandwidth costs associated with hosting large application packages.
  • Improving initial launch times by decreasing the amount of data the OS must unpack.

Key capabilities

  • Configuring Rust compiler flags to strip debug information and enable Link-Time Optimization (LTO).
  • Adjusting bundler settings to exclude unnecessary assets or use more efficient compression formats.
  • Applying platform-specific optimizations for Windows, macOS, and Linux targets.
  • Generating minimal binaries suitable for production environments without sacrificing core functionality.

Example prompts

  • "How can I reduce the size of my Tauri binary for distribution?"
  • "What compiler flags should I use to strip debug symbols from my Rust project?"
  • "Can you help me configure my bundler to produce a smaller macOS app bundle?"

Tips & gotchas

Enabling aggressive optimizations like LTO may increase build times, so balance size reduction with development efficiency. Ensure that stripping debug symbols does not hinder future debugging efforts during the development phase.
