description	Build production binaries for distribution

Build Skill

Creates production-ready binaries for the current platform.

Steps

1. Run the Tauri production build:

pnpm tauri build

2. Report the output location and file sizes.

Output Locations

macOS

• src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/Skelenote_*.dmg
• src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macos/Skelenote.app

Windows

• src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/Skelenote_*_x64-setup.exe

Linux

• src-tauri/target/release/bundle/deb/skelenote_*_amd64.deb
• src-tauri/target/release/bundle/rpm/skelenote-*.x86_64.rpm
• src-tauri/target/release/bundle/appimage/skelenote_*.AppImage

When to Use

• Testing production builds locally
• Preparing for a release
• Debugging production-only issues

Notes

• Takes longer than dev builds (5-10 minutes)
• Outputs are optimized and minified
• Binaries are currently unsigned (alpha)
• For releases, prefer the GitHub Actions workflow which builds for all platforms
