tauri-app-os-info

When to use this skill

ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:

• Getting OS version, architecture, or locale info
• System diagnostics or platform compatibility checks
• Displaying system information in the app

Trigger phrases include:

• "os info", "system info", "platform", "architecture", "diagnostics", "os version"

How to use this skill

1. Install the os plugin:
   bashCopy

   cargo add tauri-plugin-os
   

2. Register the plugin in your Tauri builder:
   rustCopy

   tauri::Builder::default()
       .plugin(tauri_plugin_os::init())
   

3. Configure capabilities in src-tauri/capabilities/default.json:
   jsonCopy

   { "permissions": ["os:default"] }
   

4. Query OS information from the frontend:
   typescriptCopy

   import { platform, version, arch, locale } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-os';
   const os = await platform();   // 'macos', 'windows', 'linux'
   const ver = await version();   // '14.0'
   const cpu = await arch();      // 'x86_64', 'aarch64'
   const lang = await locale();   // 'en-US'
   

5. Minimize data collection to only what your app needs (privacy by default)
6. Redact sensitive data before sending diagnostics to remote servers

Outputs

• OS info plugin setup with platform/version/arch/locale queries
• Data minimization pattern for diagnostics
• Redaction guidance for remote reporting
