What problem does it solve?
Capacitor plugin integration is error-prone and platform-specific, requiring repetitive manual steps: choosing the correct package, installing native dependencies, applying Android and iOS configuration, and running native sync commands. This Skill removes guesswork by guiding developers step-by-step through plugin selection, installation, platform configuration, and common troubleshooting so projects remain buildable across Android, iOS, and Web targets.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Guided plugin selection: Match requested functionality to official, Capawesome, community, Firebase, or MLKit plugins and recommend a default with alternatives.
- Automatic project analysis: Detect Capacitor version, platforms (android/, ios/), dependency manager (CocoaPods vs SPM), and build tool to minimize user prompts.
- Platform-specific configuration: Walk the user through Info.plist, AndroidManifest, Gradle variables, permissions, and ProGuard/Podfile changes with one decision at a time.
- Capawesome Insiders handling: Detect and assist with Capawesome registry setup and license token configuration when required.
- Usage code and sync: Offer and adapt example usage code from references, run npx cap sync guidance, and provide targeted troubleshooting steps for build and runtime errors.
Quick Start
Ask the capacitor-plugins skill to add and configure the Camera plugin for iOS and Android in my Capacitor project and apply any required Info.plist and AndroidManifest changes.
