## When to use this skill
**ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:**
- CLI arguments for a Tauri application
- Schema-based argument parsing at app launch
- Routing CLI commands to app behavior or windows
**Trigger phrases include:**
- "cli", "arguments", "command line", "schema", "command routing", "cli plugin"
## How to use this skill
1. **Install the CLI plugin**:
```bash
cargo add tauri-plugin-cli
```
2. **Define the CLI schema** in `tauri.conf.json`:
```json
{
"plugins": {
"cli": {
"description": "My Tauri App",
"args": [
{ "name": "input", "short": "i", "takesValue": true, "description": "Input file path" }
],
"subcommands": {
"open": { "description": "Open a specific view", "args": [] }
}
}
}
}
```
3. **Register the plugin** in your Tauri builder:
```rust
tauri::Builder::default()
.plugin(tauri_plugin_cli::init())
```
4. **Handle CLI matches** on the frontend:
```typescript
import { getMatches } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-cli';
const matches = await getMatches();
if (matches.args.input?.value) {
console.log('Input file:', matches.args.input.value);
}
```
5. **Combine with single-instance plugin** to forward second-launch arguments to the running instance
6. **Configure capabilities**: `"cli:default"`
## Outputs
- CLI argument schema in tauri.conf.json
- Frontend argument parsing and routing logic
- Second-launch argument forwarding pattern
