tauri-app-wasm
Compile Rust code to WebAssembly and run it in the Tauri v2 frontend for high-performance computation. Use when offloading CPU-intensive work to WASM in the WebView, deciding between WASM vs IPC for Rust logic, or optimizing frontend performance with Rust-compiled modules.
Best use case
tauri-app-wasm is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt. It is especially useful for teams working in multi.

Users should expect a more consistent workflow output, faster repeated execution, and less time spent rewriting prompts from scratch.
Practical example
Example input
Use the "tauri-app-wasm" skill to help with this workflow task. Context: Compile Rust code to WebAssembly and run it in the Tauri v2 frontend for high-performance computation. Use when offloading CPU-intensive work to WASM in the WebView, deciding between WASM vs IPC for Rust logic, or optimizing frontend performance with Rust-compiled modules.
Example output
A structured workflow result with clearer steps, more consistent formatting, and an output that is easier to reuse in the next run.
When to use this skill
- Use this skill when you want a reusable workflow rather than writing the same prompt again and again.
When not to use this skill
- Do not use this when you only need a one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- Do not use it if you cannot install or maintain the related files, repository context, or supporting tools.

## When to use this skill
**ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:**
- Running Rust code as WASM in the Tauri frontend
- WASM vs IPC performance trade-offs
- High-performance frontend computation
**Trigger phrases include:**
- "WASM", "WebAssembly", "wasm-pack", "Rust in browser", "frontend performance"
## How to use this skill
1. **Set up a WASM crate** alongside your Tauri project:
```bash
cargo install wasm-pack
wasm-pack new my-wasm-lib
```
2. **Build Rust code to WASM**:
```bash
wasm-pack build --target web my-wasm-lib
```
3. **Import the WASM module** in your frontend:
```typescript
import init, { process_data } from '../my-wasm-lib/pkg';
await init();
const result = process_data(inputBuffer);
```
4. **Choose WASM vs IPC**:
- Use **WASM** for CPU-bound computation that doesn't need system APIs (image processing, crypto, parsing)
- Use **IPC** (invoke) for anything requiring OS access (file system, network, notifications)
5. **Monitor bundle size** impact -- WASM modules add to the frontend bundle
6. **Benchmark** to verify WASM gives measurable performance gains over JavaScript
## Outputs
- WASM crate setup and build pipeline
- Frontend WASM module import pattern
- WASM vs IPC decision framework
