Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned cap-go/capgo-skills at bc99163045.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables instant deployment of updates to Capacitor apps without requiring app store review for web layer changes. It utilizes the Capgo live update service, allowing you to push JavaScript, HTML, and CSS updates rapidly, rollback problematic updates automatically, perform A/B testing via channels, and monitor update analytics. Note that native code (Swift/Kotlin/Java) modifications still require submission through the app store.

When to use it

  • You want to provide live or over-the-air (OTA) updates to your users.
  • You need a way to quickly deploy hotfixes and bug fixes.
  • You're exploring A/B testing different features within your application.
  • You wish to bypass the app store review process for web layer changes.
  • You are asking about or want to utilize the Capgo service.

Key capabilities

  • Instant JavaScript, HTML, and CSS updates.
  • Automatic rollback of failed updates.
  • A/B testing through channels.
  • Update analytics monitoring.
  • Configuration options for update behavior (resetting on native updates, custom update URLs).
  • Automated app readiness notification (notifyAppReady()).

Example prompts

  • "How do I deploy a quick fix to my Capacitor app?"
  • "Can I A/B test a new feature in my app without an app store release?"
  • "Tell me about the process of using Capgo for live updates."

Tips & gotchas

  • Native Code: Remember that changes to native code (Swift, Kotlin, Java) still require submission through the standard app store channels.
  • notifyAppReady() is crucial: The CapacitorUpdater.notifyAppReady() function must be called within 10 seconds of application startup; otherwise, Capgo will assume an update failure and roll back to a previous version.
  • Setup Required: This skill requires creating a Capgo account, installing the CLI, initializing your app with capgo init, and configuring your Capacitor project.
