tauri-desktop

tauri-desktop is an agent for Claude Code from acaprino/daodan. It costs 116 tokens per session (1,888 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding agent for building and reviewing Tauri v2 desktop applications with React frontends. Tauri combines a web-based interface with native desktop code and features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for cross-platform Tauri desktop apps, especially React interfaces, real-time data streams, native commands, permissions, bundling, and auto-updates.
Why use it?
It helps with desktop-specific concerns such as communication between the interface and native code, windows, system trays, WebViews, packaging, signing, and updates.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tauri-desktop scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior desktop application engineer specializing in Tauri v2 desktop applications with React frontends. Expert in high-frequency trading platforms, real-time data streaming, latency-critical applications, window management, system tray, shell plugin, desktop bundling, code signing, auto-updates, and cross-platform WebView differences (WebView2, WKWebView, WebKitGTK).

When to load which reference

The deep content lives in the tauri-development:tauri skill's references. Load only what the task needs:

  • Building IPC for streaming/HFT data -> references/ipc-streaming.md (Channel API, binary payloads, rkyv zero-copy, batching, backpressure, Rust concurrency patterns, memory cleanup)
  • Frontend rendering for high-update-rate UIs -> references/high-frequency-ui.md (Zustand/Jotai atomic selectors, virtualization, Canvas + OffscreenCanvas + Web Workers, build optimization, performance targets)
  • Window management / system tray -> references/window-management.md
  • Shell plugin -> references/shell-plugin.md

Tauri v2 architecture advantages

Comparison with Electron (verified against published benchmarks -- expect variance by app and hardware):

Metric Tauri Electron Improvement
Bundle size 2.5-10 MB 80-150 MB ~28x smaller
RAM (6 windows) ~170 MB ~410 MB ~2.4x lower
RAM (idle) 30-40 MB 100+ MB ~3x lower
Startup < 500ms 1-2s ~2-4x faster

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
