Agent Skills

The @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-cli package ships one bundled Agent Skill — a portable instruction set that teaches AI coding agents how to use the Tauri MCP CLI correctly. The skill covers session lifecycle, UI automation, screenshots and inspection, IPC debugging, daemon recovery, and mobile workflows in one place. Skills work with 40+ agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cline, and others.

The skills CLI from skills.sh is the easiest way to install:

bash
# Interactive — choose which skills and agents to target
npx skills add hypothesi/mcp-server-tauri

# Install the bundled skill for Claude Code, no prompts
npx skills add hypothesi/mcp-server-tauri -a claude-code --all -y

# Install to a specific agent globally (applies to every project)
npx skills add hypothesi/mcp-server-tauri -g -a cursor --all -y

Useful options

Available Skill

SkillDescription
tauri-mcp-cliOne bundled skill covering session management, UI interaction, screenshots and inspection, IPC/backend workflows, and mobile or remote device usage

Alternative: Install via npm + intent

If you prefer not to use npx skills, you can install the CLI package and wire the bundled skill with the @tanstack/intent tool:

bash
npm install -g @hypothesi/tauri-mcp-cli
npx @tanstack/intent@latest install

This scans the installed package's skills/ directory and wires the bundled skill into your agent configuration files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, etc.).

Alternative: Claude Code Plugin

If you use Claude Code, you can install the bundled skill as a Claude Code Plugin instead:

bash
/plugin marketplace add hypothesi/mcp-server-tauri
/plugin install tauri-mcp-cli

See Claude Code Plugin for details.

Skill Format

Each skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter:

yaml
---
name: tauri-mcp-cli
description: Use the Tauri MCP CLI to automate and debug Tauri apps from terminal commands...
license: MIT
---

# Instructions for the agent...

Skills follow the open Agent Skills specification and are compatible with any agent that supports the format.

Managing Installed Skills

bash
# List installed skills
npx skills list

# Update all skills to latest
npx skills update
