When to Use This Skill User says the app is on Capacitor 5 and must move to v6 User wants the exact v5 to v6 migration path User needs v6 specific native and package updates Live Project Snapshot Current Capacitor packages from package.json : ! 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=[];for(const section of ['dependencies','devDependencies']){for(const [name,version] of Object.entries(pkg[section] {})){if(name.startsWith('@capacitor/'))out.push(section+'.'+name+'='+version)}}console.log(out.sort().join('\n'))" Procedure 1. Start from the injected package snapshot and confirm the current @capacitor/core version. 2. Update all @capacitor/ packages to the v6 compatible range. 3.
