SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Adding native capabilities to a Capacitor app requires picking the right plugin among hundreds of options and then applying platform-specific configuration in AndroidManifest.xml, Info.plist, Gradle variables, and Podfiles. This Skill guides the agent through plugin selection, installation, and per-platform setup without missing configuration steps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plugin discovery across six sources: Indexes official Capacitor, Capawesome, Capacitor Community, Firebase, MLKit, and RevenueCat plugins with per-plugin reference files. - Guided installation workflow: Detects platforms, build tools, and Capacitor version from the project, then installs packages, applies Android/iOS/Web configuration, and runs npx cap sync. - Capawesome Insiders handling: Detects paid plugins, configures the private npm registry, and prompts for the license key before continuing. - Use Case: A developer asks to add push notifications to their Capacitor app; the agent matches the plugin, reads its reference file, adds the FCM and APNs configuration, and syncs the project. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to install and configure a specific Capacitor plugin, for example add the Camera plugin to this Capacitor app.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install a Capacitor plugin in my app?

Install the plugin package with npm install, then run npx cap sync to copy it into the native projects. Most plugins also need platform configuration such as Info.plist keys on iOS or permissions in AndroidManifest.xml on Android.

Which Capacitor plugin should I use when several options exist?

When multiple plugins cover the same use case, the Capawesome plugin is the recommended default because it is actively maintained and supported. Community plugins remain valid alternatives, and the skill presents both options so you can decide.

Does this work with Capacitor 6, 7, or 8 projects?

Yes, the workflow supports Capacitor versions 6, 7, and 8. The agent reads the @capacitor/core version from package.json and adapts the configuration guidance to the installed version.

How do Capawesome Insiders plugins get installed?

Insiders plugins require a paid license. The agent configures the @capawesome-team npm registry with your license key as an auth token, waits for confirmation, and only then installs the package.

What are the limitations of this Capacitor plugin workflow?

It does not cover migrating apps or plugins to newer Capacitor versions, setting up Capacitor Live Updates, or non-Capacitor mobile frameworks. iOS setup also requires Xcode with CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager, and Android setup requires Android Studio.
