## When to use this skill

**ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:**
- Tactile or haptic feedback on mobile devices
- Vibration patterns or feedback types
- Fallback for devices without haptic support

**Trigger phrases include:**
- "haptics", "vibration", "tactile feedback", "haptic feedback", "vibrate"

## How to use this skill

1. **Install the haptics plugin**:
   ```bash
   cargo add tauri-plugin-haptics
   ```
2. **Register the plugin** in your Tauri builder:
   ```rust
   tauri::Builder::default()
       .plugin(tauri_plugin_haptics::init())
   ```
3. **Configure capabilities** in `src-tauri/capabilities/default.json`:
   ```json
   { "permissions": ["haptics:allow-vibrate", "haptics:allow-impact-feedback", "haptics:allow-notification-feedback"] }
   ```
4. **Trigger haptic feedback from the frontend**:
   ```typescript
   import { impactFeedback, notificationFeedback, ImpactFeedbackStyle } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-haptics';
   await impactFeedback(ImpactFeedbackStyle.Medium);
   await notificationFeedback('success');
   ```
5. **Use appropriate feedback types**: impact for touch interactions, notification for success/error/warning
6. **Handle unsupported devices** with try/catch and silent fallback (no error shown to user)

## Outputs

- Haptic feedback integration with appropriate feedback types
- Pattern selection guidance (impact vs notification)
- Silent fallback for unsupported devices
