tauri-app-persisted-scope

When to use this skill

ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:

• Persisting plugin scopes across app restarts
• Remembering file access permissions between sessions
• Scope expiration or revocation flows

Trigger phrases include:

• "persisted scope", "remember access", "scope persistence", "re-authorization", "scope expiration"

How to use this skill

1. Install the persisted-scope plugin:

   cargo add tauri-plugin-persisted-scope
   

2. Register the plugin in your Tauri builder:

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

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

   { "permissions": ["persisted-scope:allow-save", "persisted-scope:allow-load"] }
   

4. How it works: When the user grants file access (e.g., via a dialog picker), the persisted-scope plugin automatically saves those scope entries to disk and restores them on next launch
5. Implement expiration by periodically checking saved scopes and removing stale entries
6. Add revocation UI to let users manage which persistent access grants remain active
7. Avoid permanent over-privilege by reviewing persisted scopes during app startup

Outputs

• Persisted scope plugin setup for cross-session access retention
• Expiration and revocation flow patterns
• Scope audit guidance to prevent over-privilege
