How does this skill handle desktop security?

It implements industry-standard security practices including context isolation, safe preload scripts in Electron, and strict capability allow-lists in Tauri.

Do I need to know Rust to use the Tauri portion?

While Rust is the backend language for Tauri, this skill provides the necessary boilerplate and command structures to help you bridge the gap between your frontend and the Rust core.

Is auto-updating included in the implementation?

Yes, the skill provides configurations for electron-updater and Tauri's native update mechanism to ensure your users stay on the latest version.

Can I create OS-specific features like system trays?

Absolutely. The skill includes implementation patterns for system tray icons, native menus, and platform-specific window decorations for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Does this skill support both Electron and Tauri?

Yes, it provides comprehensive patterns for both Electron (Node.js based) and Tauri (Rust based) frameworks, allowing you to choose based on package size and performance needs.
