Capacitor Testing

The capacitor-testing skill enables AI agents to interact with CapacitorJS applications, allowing them to inspect app state, manage native plugins, and execute commands within Cordova or React Native environments. It bridges the gap between web-based AI reasoning and mobile application logic by providing direct access to device capabilities and plugin configurations.

When to use it

• Debugging native plugin failures in a Capacitor project without manual CLI intervention.
• Automating routine checks for app configuration files like capacitor.config.ts or package.json.
• Simulating user interactions that require deep integration with Android or iOS native layers.
• Verifying that specific Cordova plugins are correctly registered and accessible to the web view.

Key capabilities

• Direct inspection of Capacitor project structures and configurations.
• Execution of native commands relevant to mobile development workflows.
• State management for hybrid applications built with Ionic or similar frameworks.
• Integration testing between web assets and native device features.

Example prompts

• "Check the current version of the @capacitor/core package in my project's dependencies."
• "Inspect the configuration settings for the Camera plugin in this Capacitor app."
• "List all available native plugins currently installed in this hybrid application environment."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has read access to the project directory containing capacitor.config.ts or package.json, as it cannot inspect files outside its scope. This skill is specific to CapacitorJS; it will not function on pure web projects or non-hybrid mobile apps lacking native plugin bridges.
