capacitor-plugins

capacitor-plugins is a skill for Claude Code from Cap-go/capgo-skills. It costs 239 tokens per session (3,280 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Capacitor packages and plugins, which add native phone features to web-based mobile apps. It covers official packages and alternatives from the Capgo and community ecosystems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose packages for native functionality and find a Capgo or community plugin when the official Capacitor package is missing or too limited.
Why use it?
It helps when you need a phone feature but are unsure which package provides it or when the official option is not sufficient.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) node scripts/generate-capgo-plugin-index.mjs.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo-skills

npx agentmods add skills/cap-go/capgo-skills/capacitor-plugins

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install capacitor-core, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 skills.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

capacitor-plugins scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 15d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Capacitor Plugins

Choose the right plugin, install it correctly, and prove it is linked natively.

When to Use

TRIGGER when:

  • User asks "which plugin should I use for X?" or compares plugin options.
  • User needs a native capability (camera, files, location, biometrics, payments, auth, sensors, storage, media, calendar, contacts, health, on-device LLM).
  • A plugin call fails after install: "X" plugin is not implemented on ios|android|web, UNIMPLEMENTED, unable to find plugin, or an OS-PLUG-* code.
  • User needs the right Info.plist / AndroidManifest.xml / variables.gradle entries for a plugin.

Do not use (load the sibling skill instead):

  • Push notification setup, FCM/APNs keys: capacitor-push-notifications
  • Splash screen assets and timing: capacitor-splash-screen
  • Keyboard overlap, accessory bar, resize: capacitor-keyboard
  • Universal Links / App Links: capacitor-deep-linking
  • OTA live updates: capgo-live-updates
  • Migrating plugin source code across Capacitor majors: capacitor-plugin-upgrades (and capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v8-to-v9)
  • Adding Swift Package Manager support to a plugin: capacitor-plugin-spm-support; moving an app to SPM: cocoapods-to-spm
  • AppDelegate/SceneDelegate lifecycle changes: capacitor-uiscene-migration
  • Upgrading the app's Capacitor major: capacitor-app-upgrades
  • SQL storage migrations: sqlite-to-fast-sql

Version Facts (October 2026)

  • Capacitor stable: 8.5.x (latest). Capacitor 9 is 9.0.0-alpha on the next dist-tag. Official plugins follow: most v8 plugins are 8.x on latest and 9.0.0-alpha on next.
  • Plugin major must match the app's Capacitor major. Plugins for older majors use latest-<major> tags, e.g. npm install @capacitor/camera@latest-7.
  • Some official plugins have independent versions (file-transfer 2.x, file-viewer 2.x, inappbrowser 4.x, privacy-screen 2.x, barcode-scanner 3.x, background-runner 3.x, calendar/contacts/health-fitness 1.x). Check npm view <pkg> peerDependencies instead of matching the number.
  • @capgo/* plugins use the Capacitor major as their own major (8.x for Capacitor 8). LTS tags such as lts-v7 exist on some packages.
  • Capacitor 9: iOS 16 min, Android minSdk 26. Plugins that previously needed minSdkVersion = 26 (inappbrowser, barcode-scanner) stop needing a bump.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
