Hey @dchuk 👋

39 skills covering everything from Tauri's IPC architecture to platform-specific distribution across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. That's one of the most thorough Tauri v2 reference sets out there. The detail in things like the ASCII architecture diagrams and the security-focused skills (CSP, runtime authority, ecosystem security) really stands out.

I ran your skills through tessl skill review at work and found some targeted improvements. Here's the full before/after:

score_card
Changes made

All 5 skills:

  • Added explicit "Use when..." clauses with natural trigger keywords to descriptions
  • Switched descriptions to quoted string format with concrete action verbs
  • Added domain-specific trigger terms (e.g. tauri.conf.json, capability.json, tauri plugin new)

tauri-architecture (39% → 90%):

  • Removed large ASCII diagrams that consumed tokens without adding value for an LLM
  • Cut explanations of concepts Claude already knows (what HTML/CSS/JS is, webview benefits)
  • Added a 5-step numbered workflow with validation checkpoints
  • Reduced from 424 to 199 lines while preserving all code examples

tauri-capabilities (59% → 90%):

  • Removed "What Are Capabilities?" explainer section
  • Removed "Security Boundaries" section (known concepts)
  • Added 4-step workflow with build verification and permission testing checkpoints

tauri-plugins (59% → 90%):

  • Added 6-step end-to-end workflow (scaffold → implement → permissions → bindings → mobile → test)
  • Added verification checkpoints after key steps
  • Added a Testing and Verification section
  • Folded standalone "Android 16KB Page Size" note into the Android section

tauri-project-setup (79% → 90%):

  • Condensed "What is Tauri?" from 7 lines to 2
  • Added prerequisite verification checks (rustc --version, node --version)
  • Added validation checkpoints after both project creation methods

tauri-testing (79% → 86%):

  • Removed redundant "Testing Approaches Overview" section
  • Added WebDriver setup validation checkpoints (version check, listener verify, binary exists)
  • Tightened best practices to essential Tauri-specific guidance

Honest disclosure. I work at https://github.com/tesslio where we build tooling around skills like these. Not a pitch - just saw room for improvement and wanted to contribute.

Want to self-improve your skills? Just point your agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) at this Tessl guide (https://docs.tessl.io/evaluate/optimize-a-skill-using-best-practices) and ask it to optimize your skill. Ping me - @yogesh-tessl (https://github.com/yogesh-tessl) - if you hit any snags.

Thanks in advance 🙏
