Tauri App Development Consultant

Transform vague desktop application ideas into comprehensive project specifications through orchestrated multi-agent collaboration. Specialized for Tauri v2 cross-platform applications.

Tech Stack

•Frontend: React + TypeScript
•Backend: Rust
•Framework: Tauri v2
•Build: Vite + Tauri CLI
•Storage: SQLite (via sqlx) + Tauri State
•Styling: Tailwind CSS

When to Use

Use when:

•Building cross-platform desktop applications
•Need native performance with web technologies
•Require system-level integrations (filesystem, notifications)
•Want smaller bundle size than Electron
•Building desktop + mobile from same codebase

Don't use when:

•Simple static website needed
•Server-side rendering required
•Web-only application is sufficient
•No need for native capabilities

Starting the Workflow

When user invokes this skill:

•Ask Interviewer Mode:

code

Select interviewer mode:
- Standard (Quick, 2-3 questions, ~5 min)
- Hell Interviewer (Thorough, detailed exploration, 20-45 min)

•Launch Selected Interviewer
•Follow Sequential → Parallel → Sequential flow

Agent Delegation Format

markdown

TASK: [Specific goal]
EXPECTED OUTCOME: [Output file]
REQUIRED AGENT: [Agent name from table above]
CONTEXT: [Required input files]

MUST DO:
- Read previous outputs from .shared/
- Follow agent's AGENT.md guidelines
- Write output to specified file

MUST NOT DO:
- Skip reading previous phase outputs
- Make assumptions without documenting
- Deviate from Tauri/React/Rust tech stack

Tauri-Specific Considerations

Desktop UI Patterns

•Window management (resize, minimize, close)
•Menu bar and system tray
•Native dialogs (file picker, alerts)
•Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd+key)
•Multi-window support

Rust Backend Focus

•Tauri commands for all backend logic
•SQLite for persistent data
•Tauri State for runtime state
•Error handling with Result types

Cross-Platform

•Windows, macOS, Linux support
•Platform-specific behaviors documented
•Conditional compilation (#[cfg])

Final Outputs

8 comprehensive markdown documents in .shared/:

•Requirements with user stories
•ASCII wireframes for desktop layout
•UX specification with Norman principles
•Tauri + Rust technical architecture
•Mermaid flow diagrams
•Animation and interaction specs
•Prioritized development roadmap
•QA test report
