SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Capacitor apps often ship with misconfigured plugins, unhandled bridge errors, insecure storage, and bloated bundles. This Skill provides structured guidelines and correct/incorrect code patterns to catch these issues during development and code review. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plugin Usage Patterns: Enforces install-sync-initialize workflows, availability checks before native calls, and lazy loading via dynamic imports to reduce bundle size. - Performance & Security Guidance: Covers bridge call batching, image optimization, secure credential storage with biometrics, certificate pinning, and root/jailbreak detection. - Deployment Readiness: Provides a pre-release checklist covering ProGuard, deployment targets, permissions, and live update strategies with Capacitor Updater. - Use Case: When reviewing a pull request that stores user passwords via @capacitor/preferences, the Skill flags it and recommends @capgo/capacitor-native-biometric secure credential storage instead. ## Quick Start Review my Capacitor project's plugin usage and configuration for performance and security best practices.

When should I use live updates with Capacitor Updater?▼

Use Capacitor Updater to push web-layer fixes without app store review by downloading bundles in the background and applying them on the next app start. Avoid forcing a reload while the user is actively using the app.
