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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No credential access: failed

    Touches credential material in 2 places.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

    What it found

    • tauri/tauri-lifecycle-security/SKILL.md:269SSH private keys or config
      path = "$HOME/.ssh/*"
    • tauri/tauri-lifecycle-security/SKILL.md:272GnuPG private keyring
      path = "$HOME/.gnupg/*"

  • 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 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 enables AI agents to understand and reason about Tauri application lifecycle events and their security implications. It allows for proactive identification of potential vulnerabilities related to window creation, destruction, and other key lifecycle stages. The agent can analyze code snippets or descriptions of Tauri apps to assess security risks associated with improper handling of these events.

When to use it

  • Security Audits: Evaluate a Tauri application's codebase for common lifecycle-related vulnerabilities before deployment.
  • Code Review: Assist developers in identifying potential security flaws during the code review process, specifically concerning window management and event handling.
  • Vulnerability Research: Analyze existing or hypothetical Tauri applications to discover novel attack vectors related to the application lifecycle.
  • Security Training: Educate developers on secure Tauri development practices by demonstrating how lifecycle events can be exploited.

Key capabilities

  • Understanding Tauri application lifecycle events (e.g., window-created, window-destroyed).
  • Identifying security implications of improper event handling.
  • Analyzing code snippets for vulnerabilities related to window management.
  • Reasoning about potential attack vectors based on lifecycle context.

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Tauri code snippet and identify any potential security risks associated with the window-created event."
  • "Explain how a malicious actor could exploit improper handling of the window-destroyed event in a Tauri application."
  • “What are the key security considerations when managing windows within a Tauri app?”

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires familiarity with Tauri and its architecture. The agent's effectiveness depends on the clarity and completeness of the provided code or descriptions.
