What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of slowing down development and verification when you need to confidently test UI and host changes in a Tauri (Rust + web) desktop app.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Development launch loop: Run the full dev workflow with renderer HMR plus Rust incremental builds, ensuring you see the app and DevTools behavior immediately.
- Production bundle verification: Build and test packaged artifacts in the correct bundle output paths so you catch differences between dev and release runtime behavior.
- Live inspection and MCP bridge debugging: Discover the live SQLite database path, use the dev MCP UI bridge endpoints for health checks and evaluations, and capture screenshots to validate UI state.
Quick Start
Use the tauri-dev skill to guide you through starting the app in dev mode with npm start, checking logs, and verifying the running UI using the dev MCP bridge when needed.
