Capacitor Security

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to manage security configurations and permissions within Capacitor applications, ensuring that native features are accessed safely. It helps enforce best practices by controlling how web views interact with device capabilities like the camera or location services.

When to use it

• Enforce strict permission policies: Define rules that prevent unauthorized access to sensitive native APIs during app initialization.
• Audit security settings: Review and modify existing security configurations before deploying a Capacitor-based mobile app.
• Prevent data leakage: Configure content security policies to restrict what scripts or resources can load within the web view.
• Compliance checks: Ensure the app meets specific security standards required for enterprise or regulated environments.

Key capabilities

• Manages native plugin permissions and access controls.
• Configures Content Security Policy (CSP) headers for web views.
• Validates secure connection settings for network requests.
• Applies sandboxing rules to isolate untrusted content.

Example prompts

• "Set up a strict Content Security Policy for my Capacitor app to block inline scripts."
• "Configure the native camera plugin so it only runs when explicitly authorized by the user."
• "Audit and fix any insecure network configurations in my Capacitor project."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Capacitor project has the necessary plugins installed before applying security rules, as some policies depend on specific native implementations. Always test security configurations on actual devices, as web view behavior can differ significantly from desktop browsers.
