SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Building production-grade Tauri 2.x desktop apps requires coordinating Rust backend IPC logic, system webview frontend code, platform-specific native installer bundles, secure auto-update signing, and multi-OS CI/CD pipelines—all of which require hundreds of lines of repetitive configuration and carry high risk of missing critical security or compliance requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full hybrid project scaffolding: Generates a complete Tauri 2.x project tree with a Rust backend using the Tauri 2 Capability System for secure, deny-by-default IPC permissions, a React (default) or Vue 3 frontend with Vite 5, and preconfigured strict Content Security Policy.
  • Cross-platform release automation: Includes a prebuilt GitHub Actions workflow for building native installers (.msi for Windows, .dmg and .app for macOS, .deb, .AppImage and .rpm for Linux) via tauri-action, plus cargo-dist integration for offline build configuration validation.
  • Built-in compliance and quality gates: Enforces 75% Rust test coverage via llvm-cov, 80% frontend test coverage via Vitest, dual-ecosystem SPDX license allowlists for both npm and cargo, and guards against common Tauri anti-patterns like wildcard capability permissions or Tauri 1.x legacy allowlist patterns.
  • Use Case: A team building a desktop control tool for embedded AI cameras can use this skill to generate a fully configured, compliant Tauri project in minutes instead of spending days setting up the Rust backend, frontend build pipeline, multi-OS CI, and auto-update channel plumbing.

Quick Start

Use the skill-desktop-tauri skill to generate a complete, production-ready Tauri 2.x desktop project with your preferred frontend framework, auto-update enabled, and compliance checks preconfigured by providing your project name, app display name, and reverse-DNS bundle identifier to the scaffolder.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-desktop-tauri

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a Tauri 2.x desktop app with Rust and a web frontend?▼

To scaffold a Tauri 2.x desktop app, this tool generates a complete project tree combining a Rust backend using the Tauri 2 Capability System for secure IPC, a React or Vue 3 frontend via Vite 5, and strict Content Security Policy configuration.

How do I automate cross-platform release pipelines for Tauri desktop apps?▼

Automating cross-platform Tauri releases requires a prebuilt GitHub Actions workflow using tauri-action to build native installers like .msi, .dmg, .deb, and .rpm, alongside cargo-dist integration for offline build configuration validation.

Does Tauri 2 support secure auto-update signing for Windows, macOS, and Linux installers?▼

Yes, Tauri 2 supports secure cross-platform desktop app auto-updates by configuring automated minisign-signed update channels, ensuring native installer bundles are securely delivered across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.

What test coverage and license compliance gates are needed for production Tauri apps?▼

Production Tauri apps require strict compliance gates enforcing 75% Rust test coverage via llvm-cov, 80% frontend test coverage via Vitest, and dual-ecosystem SPDX license allowlists for both npm and cargo dependencies.

Can I use Vue 3 instead of the default React frontend when building Tauri 2 apps?▼

Yes, you can use Vue 3 instead of the default React frontend when building Tauri 2 apps, as the scaffolder supports generating hybrid desktop projects with Vite 5 while maintaining secure deny-by-default IPC permissions.

Why should I migrate from Tauri 1.x legacy allowlist patterns to the Tauri 2 Capability System?▼

Migrating to the Tauri 2 Capability System from Tauri 1.x legacy allowlist patterns enforces deny-by-default IPC permissions, preventing common security anti-patterns like wildcard capability permissions in production desktop applications.
