When to use this skill
ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:
- Frontend-to-Rust IPC or invoke calls / 前端到 Rust 的 IPC 或 invoke 调用
- Tauri commands or type-safe bindings / Tauri 命令或类型安全绑定
- Bidirectional messaging or event-based IPC / 双向消息或事件驱动 IPC
Trigger phrases include:
- "IPC", "invoke", "command", "tauri-specta", "type safety"
- "IPC", "调用命令", "类型安全", "tauri-specta"
How to use this skill
- Define Rust commands and register them in the Tauri builder
- Use invoke on the frontend with typed payloads
- Apply type generation tools to avoid any-typed IPC
- Establish error handling and response contracts
Outputs
- Typed IPC request/response contract / 类型化 IPC 请求响应契约
- Error handling and validation guidance / 错误处理与校验指导
Scope
- Boundary: invoke calls and command definitions only
- v2 focus: type-safe IPC with tauri-specta or official generators

Common Gotchas (Gotchas)
- Version Compatibility: Pay attention to the compatibility between the framework version and dependency libraries; APIs may differ across versions
- Configuration File Format: Configuration file format errors are the most common issue; it is recommended to use the editor's syntax checking
- Environment Variables: Ensure all necessary environment variables are set correctly, and do not hardcode sensitive information
- Dependency Conflicts: When multiple versions coexist, pay attention to dependency conflicts, and use a lock file to pin versions
- Performance Pitfalls: In large data volume scenarios, pay attention to performance optimization and avoid common issues such as N+1 queries
Usage Workflow
Step 1: Environment Preparation
Ensure the development environment has the necessary dependencies and tools installed.
Step 2: Configuration Initialization
Perform basic configuration according to project requirements.
Step 3: Using Core Features
Implement the core features according to the example code.
Step 4: Test Verification
Run tests to ensure the functionality works properly.
Step 5: Deployment and Launch
After completing development, proceed with deployment and monitoring.
