Tauri

Overview

Tauri is a framework for building cross-platform desktop and mobile applications using any web framework for the frontend and Rust for the backend. The UI runs in the system webview (WebView2 on Windows, WKWebView on macOS and iOS, WebKitGTK on Linux), so no browser engine is shipped with the app. The frontend talks to Rust through commands (request/response), events and channels (push), and every native API it may reach has to be granted in a capability file.

This skill covers Tauri v2. A v1 project (tauri.conf.json with an allowlist) is migrated with npm run tauri migrate. For installing and pinning the Rust toolchain itself, use the rust skill.
