description	Initializes the Tauri 2 project with React, TailwindCSS, shadcn/ui, and i18n from scratch

Scaffold Worker

NOTE: Startup and cleanup are handled by worker-base. This skill defines the WORK PROCEDURE.

When to Use This Skill

For features that initialize or significantly restructure the project skeleton: creating the Tauri app, setting up build tooling, configuring CSS frameworks, adding foundational libraries.

Required Skills

None

Work Procedure

1. Read the feature description carefully. Understand exactly what needs to be scaffolded.

2. Check existing state. Read package.json, Cargo.toml, and directory structure to understand what already exists vs. what needs to be created.

3. Execute setup commands. Run the scaffolding commands (create-tauri-app, pnpm install, etc.). Verify each command succeeds before proceeding.

4. Configure files. Edit vite.config.ts, tsconfig.json, tailwind.config.cjs, components.json, etc. per the spec requirements. Reference the cc-switch project at /Users/happypeet/Documents/Github/cc-switch/ for exact configuration patterns.

5. Create foundational files. Set up directory structure, create placeholder files (index.css with Tailwind directives, main.tsx with providers, etc.).

6. Verify the build. Run:

   • pnpm tauri dev — verify it starts without errors (kill after confirming)
   • cd src-tauri && cargo check — verify Rust compiles
   • pnpm typecheck — verify TypeScript compiles

7. Write baseline tests. Create at least one trivial test for Rust (cargo test) and one for frontend (vitest) to confirm test infrastructure works.

8. Commit with a descriptive message.

When to Return to Orchestrator

• pnpm create tauri-app fails or produces unexpected output
• Rust compilation fails due to missing system dependencies
• Cannot install Tauri CLI
