Capacitor Security

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to manage security configurations and access controls within Capacitor applications. It allows agents to enforce secure coding practices, validate dependencies, and configure platform-specific security settings for hybrid mobile apps.

When to use it

• Hardening a new Capacitor project before deploying to production stores.
• Automating the review of third-party plugin permissions during CI/CD pipelines.
• Configuring strict content security policies (CSP) for webviews in iOS and Android builds.
• Auditing existing app configurations to ensure compliance with latest mobile security standards.

Key capabilities

• Enforces secure coding patterns specific to Capacitor architecture.
• Manages permission declarations across iOS, Android, and Web platforms.
• Validates plugin integrity and dependency trust levels.
• Configures runtime security settings like biometric authentication flows.

Example prompts

• "Configure the Capacitor app to require biometric authentication for accessing sensitive user data."
• "Audit my current Capacitor project's permission declarations and flag any overly broad access requests."
• "Update the content security policy to restrict webview navigation to only trusted origins."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Capacitor CLI is up to date before applying new security configurations, as older versions may not support latest platform restrictions. Always test security changes on a physical device, as simulator permissions often behave differently than real hardware.
