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 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 allows AI agents to run Node.js code as a sidecar process within a Tauri application. This enables the agent to execute JavaScript logic, interact with system resources, and perform tasks that are not directly supported by the core Tauri environment. The sidecar provides an isolated execution environment for enhanced security and stability.

When to use it

  • System Automation: Automate repetitive tasks on the user's machine, such as file management or process control.
  • Complex Calculations: Perform computationally intensive calculations that would be slow or resource-intensive within the main Tauri application thread.
  • External API Interaction: Securely interact with external APIs and services requiring Node.js specific libraries.
  • Custom Logic Execution: Implement custom logic and workflows beyond what's possible with standard Tauri scripting.

Key capabilities

  • Runs Node.js code in a sidecar process.
  • Provides an isolated execution environment.
  • Enables interaction with system resources.
  • Supports JavaScript libraries and modules.

Example prompts

  • "Run this Node.js script to list all files in the downloads folder."
  • "Execute this JavaScript code to calculate the Fibonacci sequence up to the 20th term."
  • "Use Node.js to fetch data from this API endpoint and parse the JSON response."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that any required Node.js modules are included in the sidecar environment.
  • Be mindful of security implications when granting access to system resources.
