What is tauri-django-react?

A development guide for desktop and web apps built with Tauri, Django, and React. It covers how the Rust desktop shell, Python backend, and TypeScript user interface work together.

Use it when building or updating a Tauri-Django-React app, especially for starting and checking the Django server, handling CORS and authentication, connecting React to the backend, adding light/dark themes and German/English translations, packaging builds, or supporting desktop and web deployments.

It gives agents patterns for handling integration problems that cross these three technologies, including backend startup, login requests, packaging, and differences between browser and desktop use.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00063	$0.10962
Opus 5	$0.00032	$0.05481
Sonnet 5	$0.00013	$0.02192
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.01096

Security

Grade A, and why

tauri-django-react 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/scaffold.py, scripts/validate.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Tauri + Django + React Integration Patterns

Dense technical reference for building desktop applications that use Tauri as the native shell, Django as the backend API, and React as the frontend UI. Patterns are designed for reuse across projects.

This skill is self-contained; it must not depend on package-level docs/ files at runtime.

Quick Start

Identify the Integration Concern

Which layers are involved? If the question spans two or more of Rust/Python/TypeScript, this skill applies.
Is it a lifecycle issue? Port selection, process spawning, health checking, cleanup -> Backend Lifecycle section.
Is it an auth issue? Cookies not working in Tauri, CORS errors, session tokens -> Cross-Origin Auth section.
Is it a build issue? PyInstaller fails, bundle missing files, tauri build errors -> Build Pipeline section.
Is it a dual-mode issue? Works in browser but not Tauri (or vice versa) -> Frontend Integration section.
Mandatory local runner: When creating or updating a project with this skill, add or maintain an executable scripts/start.sh that starts both Django and React for local development.
Mandatory frontend UX baseline: Ask the user for separate light-mode and dark-mode background images before finalizing visual work; implement a persistent light/dark mode setting; implement German/English i18n for every user-facing string.
Mandatory GitHub release automation: When creating or updating a project with this skill, add or maintain both .github/workflows/release.yml and an executable scripts/release.sh release helper.
Mandatory configurable update path: Add or maintain a filesystem update checker that reads a configurable update source directory before checking/installing desktop updates.

Mandatory GitHub Release Automation

Every Tauri + Django + React project handled by this skill must include GitHub release automation:

.github/workflows/release.yml builds the Tauri desktop app, uploads installer artifacts, and publishes a GitHub Release for v* tags or manual workflow_dispatch runs.
scripts/release.sh updates project version files, regenerates relevant locks when tooling is available, commits/pushes version changes, creates an annotated vX.X.X tag, and pushes the tag to trigger the workflow.
dev/RELEASES/ is the canonical release-notes directory; release notes use dev/RELEASES/RELEASE_vX.X.X.md and the workflow falls back to the annotated tag message when the file is absent.
The workflow and script must be adapted to the actual app name, artifact names, package names, secrets, signing/updater setup, and platform targets. Do not copy private updater/Gist/signing logic unless the current project explicitly has that configuration.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

tauri-django-react is a skill published in the GitHub repository Firstp1ck/pi-coding-agent-forge (74 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 10,962 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
