electron-tauri

electron-tauri is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hoangatg/ai-agent-toolkit. It costs 37 tokens per session (875 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building desktop applications with Electron or Tauri, which combine web interfaces with access to Windows, macOS, and Linux features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning cross-platform desktop apps, selecting Electron or Tauri, connecting a UI to native APIs, reducing bundle size, or securing Electron windows.
Why use it?
It helps you choose between a mature JavaScript-based desktop runtime and a smaller Rust-backed option while addressing process boundaries and security.

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

electron-tauri 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 8d ago.

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.

Electron & Tauri

Web technologies, native desktop. Best of both worlds.


1. Framework Selection

Factor Electron Tauri
Runtime Chromium + Node.js System WebView + Rust
Bundle size 100-200MB+ 5-30MB
RAM usage High (150MB+) Low (30-50MB)
Language JavaScript/TypeScript Rust (backend) + JS (frontend)
Maturity Very mature Growing rapidly
Best for Feature-rich, quick dev Performance, small bundles

Decision

Need small bundle + performance? → Tauri
Need mature ecosystem + quick dev? → Electron
Need heavy Node.js integration? → Electron
Building with Rust knowledge? → Tauri

2. Electron Architecture

Process Model

Process Responsibility
Main Window management, system APIs, lifecycle
Renderer UI (React, Vue, etc.), web content
Preload Secure bridge between main and renderer

Security Model

Principle Implementation
Context isolation ON (default since v12)
Node integration OFF in renderer
Preload scripts Expose only needed APIs
CSP headers Strict Content Security Policy
Remote module Disabled

3. Tauri Architecture

Process Model

Layer Technology
Frontend Any web framework (React, Vue, Svelte)
Backend Rust (commands, system access)
Bridge invoke() for frontend → Rust calls

Key Features

Feature Purpose
Commands Typed Rust functions callable from JS
Events Bidirectional event system
Plugins Extend with file system, HTTP, shell
Updater Built-in auto-update

4. Common Features

Feature Electron Tauri
Auto-update electron-updater Built-in updater
Tray Tray API SystemTray
Notifications Notification API Plugin
File system Node.js fs Tauri fs plugin
Menu Menu API Menu builder
Shortcuts globalShortcut GlobalShortcut

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.
