When to Use This Skill

• User wants to bump a Capacitor plugin package to a newer major version
• User needs help adapting native code to a new Capacitor major release

Live Project Snapshot

Plugin and Capacitor package snapshot: !node -e "const fs=require('fs');if(!fs.existsSync('package.json'))process.exit(0);const pkg=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('package.json','utf8'));const out=['package.name='+(pkg.name||''),'package.version='+(pkg.version||'')];for(const section of ['peerDependencies','dependencies','devDependencies']){for(const [name,version] of Object.entries(pkg[section]||{})){if(name.startsWith('@capacitor/'))out.push(section+'.'+name+'='+version)}}console.log(out.join('\n'))"

Example and native project paths: !find . -maxdepth 3 \( -path './example-app' -o -path './ios' -o -path './android' -o -name 'capacitor.config.json' -o -name 'capacitor.config.ts' -o -name 'capacitor.config.js' \)
