## When to use this skill

**ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:**
- System notifications in a Tauri app
- Notification permission requests
- Handling notification click events or actions

**Trigger phrases include:**
- "notification", "system alert", "push notification", "notify", "toast"

## How to use this skill

1. **Install the notification plugin**:
   ```bash
   cargo add tauri-plugin-notification
   ```
2. **Register the plugin** in your Tauri builder:
   ```rust
   tauri::Builder::default()
       .plugin(tauri_plugin_notification::init())
   ```
3. **Configure capabilities** in `src-tauri/capabilities/default.json`:
   ```json
   { "permissions": ["notification:allow-notify", "notification:allow-request-permission", "notification:allow-is-permission-granted"] }
   ```
4. **Send a notification from the frontend**:
   ```typescript
   import { sendNotification, requestPermission, isPermissionGranted } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-notification';
   if (!(await isPermissionGranted())) {
     await requestPermission();
   }
   sendNotification({ title: 'Update Complete', body: 'Your file has been saved.' });
   ```
5. **Handle permission denial** gracefully with in-app fallback messaging
6. **Route notification clicks** to specific views or actions in your app

## Outputs

- Notification plugin setup with permission flow
- Send notification with title and body
- Click handling and in-app fallback pattern
