• Encrypted storage for secrets, credentials, or API keys
• Stronghold snapshots or vault management
• Securing sensitive data on disk

Trigger phrases include:

• "stronghold", "encrypted storage", "secrets", "vault", "secure storage", "credentials"

How to use this skill

1. Install the stronghold plugin:

   cargo add tauri-plugin-stronghold
   

2. Register the plugin in your Tauri builder:

   tauri::Builder::default()
       .plugin(tauri_plugin_stronghold::Builder::new(|password| {
           // Hash the password for vault encryption
           argon2::hash_raw(password.as_bytes(), b"salt", &argon2::Config::default()).unwrap()
       }).build())
   

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

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

4. Store and retrieve secrets from the frontend:

   import { Stronghold } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-stronghold';
   const stronghold = await Stronghold.load('vault.hold', 'user-password');
   const client = await stronghold.loadClient('main');
   const store = client.getStore();
   await store.insert('api-key', Array.from(new TextEncoder().encode('sk-12345')));
   const value = await store.get('api-key');
   

5. Save snapshots to persist the encrypted vault to disk
6. Pair with biometric plugin to unlock the vault using TouchID/FaceID instead of a password

Outputs

• Stronghold plugin setup with encrypted vault
