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 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 4 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 (3 of 4)

    • tauri/tauri-runtime-authority/SKILL.md:130SSH private keys or config
      "deny": [{ "path": "$HOME/.ssh/**" }]
    • tauri/tauri-runtime-authority/SKILL.md:431SSH private keys or config
      { "path": "$HOME/.ssh/**" },
    • tauri/tauri-runtime-authority/SKILL.md:432GnuPG 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 runtime authority. It allows the agent to determine which parts of an application have access to specific system resources, enabling more secure code generation and analysis. The skill provides insights into how permissions are managed within a Tauri application's context.

When to use it

  • When reviewing Tauri applications for potential security vulnerabilities related to runtime authority.
  • To generate secure Tauri application code by ensuring proper permission handling.
  • During debugging of Tauri applications where unexpected resource access is occurring.
  • For explaining the implications of different Tauri configuration options regarding permissions.

Key capabilities

  • Understanding Tauri runtime authority concepts.
  • Analyzing application context and permissions.
  • Identifying potential security risks related to unauthorized resource access.
  • Generating code that adheres to secure Tauri development practices.

Example prompts

  • "Explain how the allowlist option affects Tauri runtime authority."
  • "What are the implications of granting 'all' permission to a Tauri plugin?"
  • "Given this Tauri configuration, which system resources can this application access?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires familiarity with Tauri and its architecture. Incorrectly interpreting permissions can lead to flawed security assessments or insecure code generation; always double-check results against official documentation.
