Routes and drives a Capacitor plugin library upgrade across one or more major versions (4 to 9), including the iOS UIScene lifecycle audit that Capacitor 8.5 and 9 require. Detects the supported Capacitor range, plans hops (e.g. 7 to 8 to 9), runs each official plugin migrator, delegates to the per-version skill, and verifies TypeScript, Android, iOS (podspec and Package.swift) and the example app. Use for "upgrade my plugin to the latest Capacitor", "support Capacitor 9 in my plugin", bumping…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Capacitor Plugin Upgrade (router)
Plan and run a plugin upgrade one major at a time, using the version-specific skill for each hop.
## When to Use
TRIGGER when:
- Plugin maintainer wants support for a newer Capacitor major and the hop count is unclear
- `peerDependencies["@capacitor/core"]` lags the app's Capacitor version
- Users of the plugin report it breaks on Capacitor 8.5 scene-based apps or on Capacitor 9
Do not use:
- App projects -> `capacitor-app-upgrades`
- Adding SPM to a plugin -> `capacitor-plugin-spm-support`
- Cordova plugin to Capacitor plugin conversion -> `cordova-to-capacitor`
## Live Project Snapshot
Plugin and Capacitor package snapshot:
!`node -e "const fs=require('fs');if(!fs.existsSync('package.json'))process.exit(0);const pkg=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('package.json','utf8'));const out=['package.name='+(pkg.name||''),'package.version='+(pkg.version||'')];for(const section of ['peerDependencies','dependencies','devDependencies']){for(const [name,version] of Object.entries(pkg[section]||{})){if(name.startsWith('@capacitor/'))out.push(section+'.'+name+'='+version)}}console.log(out.join('\n'))"`

How to install
mdr add cap-go/capgo-skills/capacitor-plugin-upgrades@sha256:b8d1be165e391a70The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.86834d4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
