capacitor-plugins
Guides the agent through installing, configuring, and using Capacitor plugins from six sources — official Capacitor plugins, Capawesome plugins, Capacitor Community plugins, Capacitor Firebase plugins, Capacitor MLKit plugins, and RevenueCat plugins. Covers installation, platform-specific configuration (Android and iOS), and basic usage examples. Do not use for migrating Capacitor apps or plugins to a newer version, setting up Capacitor Live Updates, or non-Capacitor mobile frameworks.
417capacitor-push-notifications
Guides the agent through setting up and using push notifications in Capacitor apps using Firebase Cloud Messaging via the @capacitor-firebase/messaging plugin. Covers Firebase project setup, plugin installation, platform-specific configuration (Android, iOS, Web), APNs certificate setup, requesting permissions, retrieving FCM tokens, listening for notifications, topic subscriptions, notification channels, and testing. Do not use for local notifications, non-Firebase push providers, migrating Capacitor apps or plugins, or non-Capacitor mobile frameworks.
216capacitor-app-upgrades
Guides the agent through upgrading a Capacitor app project to a newer major version. Supports upgrades from Capacitor 4 through 8, including multi-version jumps. Performs all upgrade steps manually — does not use the interactive `npx cap migrate` command. Do not use for plugin library upgrade or non-Capacitor mobile frameworks.
196capacitor-expert
A comprehensive starting point for AI agents to work with Capacitor. Covers core concepts, CLI, app creation, plugins, framework integration, best practices, storage, security, testing, troubleshooting, upgrading, and Capawesome Cloud (live updates, native builds, app store publishing). Pair with the other Capacitor skills in this collection for deeper topic-specific guidance.
179capacitor-app-development
Guides the agent through general Capacitor app development topics. Covers core concepts (native bridge, plugins, web layer), Capacitor CLI usage, app configuration (capacitor.config.ts, splash screens, app icons, deep links), platform management (Android, iOS, Electron, PWA), edge-to-edge and safe area handling on Android, live reload setup, storage solutions, file handling, security best practices, CI/CD references, iOS package managers (SPM, CocoaPods), and troubleshooting for Android and iOS. Do not use for creating new Capacitor apps, Capacitor plugin APIs, creating Capacitor plugins, in-app purchases, upgrading Capacitor versions, Cordova or PhoneGap migration, or framework-specific patterns (Angular, React, Vue).
179capawesome-cloud
Guides the agent through setting up and using Capawesome Cloud for Capacitor apps. Covers three core workflows: (1) Native Builds — cloud builds for iOS and Android, signing certificates, environments, Trapeze configuration, and build artifacts; (2) Live Updates — OTA updates via the @capawesome/capacitor-live-update plugin, channels, versioning, rollbacks, and code signing; (3) App Store Publishing — automated submissions to Apple App Store (TestFlight) and Google Play Store. Includes CI/CD integration for all workflows. Do not use for non-Capacitor mobile frameworks.
