cordova-to-capacitor SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

cordova-to-capacitor from cap-go/capgo-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

Migrates an Apache Cordova, PhoneGap, or Ionic-Cordova app to Capacitor. Use when the project has config.xml, a platforms/ or plugins/ folder, cordova-* or phonegap-* dependencies, @awesome-cordova-plugins or @ionic-native wrappers, deviceready listeners, or cordova.plugins.* calls, and the user wants Capacitor native projects, Capacitor/Capgo plugin replacements, config.xml preference migration, and preserved localStorage/IndexedDB data (iosScheme/androidScheme). Covers keeping Cordova…

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

# Cordova to Capacitor Migration

Move a Cordova app onto Capacitor incrementally: Capacitor first, plugins one by one, Cordova removed last.

## When to Use

TRIGGER when:
- `config.xml`, `platforms/`, `plugins/`, `cordova-android`/`cordova-ios`, or `cordova-plugin-*` are present and the user wants Capacitor.
- Code waits on `deviceready` or calls `navigator.camera`, `window.plugins.*`, `cordova.plugins.*`, `@awesome-cordova-plugins/*`, `@ionic-native/*`.
- After migration: data loss on first launch, missing Cordova plugin behaviour, or Capacitor 9 build errors referencing Cordova symbols.

Do not use for:
- Rewriting a Cordova plugin's Java/Objective-C as a Capacitor plugin (plugin-level port) -> follow Capacitor plugin docs; `capacitor-plugins` for existing replacements.
- Upgrading Capacitor majors -> `capacitor-app-upgrades`.
- Replacing Appflow Live Updates (`cordova-plugin-ionic`) -> `ionic-appflow-migration` + `capgo-live-updates`.
- Framework build config (Angular output path, Vite) -> `framework-to-capacitor`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cap-go/capgo-skills/cordova-to-capacitor@sha256:ee29a4330f3a869e

The 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.
