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

capgo-live-updates 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 12d 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.

Capgo Live Updates

Wire @capgo/capacitor-updater into a Capacitor app, ship the first bundle, and keep rollback safe.

Facts below were checked against @capgo/capacitor-updater 8.52 and @capgo/cli 8.77 (October 2026).

When to Use

TRIGGER when:

  • The user wants OTA / live updates, hotfixes without store review, or "Capgo" in a Capacitor app.
  • The updater plugin needs installing, upgrading, or configuring in capacitor.config.*.
  • The user asks about notifyAppReady, autoUpdate modes, directUpdate, autoSplashscreen, setChannel, getLatest, download, next, set, or reset.
  • Updates upload fine but devices never get them, roll back, or loop.

Do not use when:

  • The work is only CLI bundle, channel, rollout, or encryption-key commands. Use capgo-release-management.
  • The user needs a signed IPA/APK/AAB from Capgo Cloud. Use capgo-native-builds.
  • The user is moving from Capawesome Cloud (capawesome-live-update-migration) or Ionic Appflow (ionic-appflow-migration).
  • The user wants the whole release pipeline (OTA, native builds, and store publishing). Use capgo-release-workflows.
  • The request is about general CLI routing or MCP setup. Use capgo-cli-usage.

Reference Index

Only load a reference when its topic is in play.

File Load when
references/configuration.md Editing plugins.CapacitorUpdater in capacitor.config.*, choosing autoUpdate modes, self-hosted URLs
references/js-api.md Writing manual update flows, listeners, channel switching, or rollback code
references/channels-and-rollouts.md Channels, device self-assignment, progressive rollouts, version targeting
references/ci-cd.md Uploading from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or another CI
references/troubleshooting.md A device does not update, rolls back, or the backend returns an error code

Version Rule (read first)

The updater major version follows the Capacitor major version.

Capacitor Install
8.x npm install @capgo/capacitor-updater@latest (8.x line)
7.x npm install @capgo/capacitor-updater@lts-v7
6.x npm install @capgo/capacitor-updater@lts-v6
5.x npm install @capgo/capacitor-updater@lts-v5
4.x npm install @capgo/capacitor-updater@lts-v4

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
