## What it does

Ionic halted sales of its commercial packages in February 2025 and is winding down maintenance. This skill detects imports and dependencies for `@ionic-enterprise/auth`, `@ionic-enterprise/identity-vault`, and `@ionic-enterprise/secure-storage`. It then generates a migration plan to switch to `@capgo/capacitor-social-login`, `@capgo/capacitor-native-biometric`, and Fast SQL.

Preserving stored credentials requires a two-release process. The app must read existing tokens or database contents while the legacy plugin is still installed, copy them into the Capgo plugin, and only remove the Ionic package in the subsequent release. Dropping the legacy plugins immediately cuts off access to the old vault and forces all users to log in again.

## Requirements
- Works with: Azure

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Cap-go/capgo-skills --skill ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Cap-go/capgo-skills --skill ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Cap-go/capgo-skills --skill ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Cap-go/capgo-skills ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Cap-go/capgo-skills --skill ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo-skills --path skills/ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Cap-go/capgo-skills --skill ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- locate `@ionic-enterprise/*` packages and import statements across the codebase
- migrate OAuth2 and OIDC workflows from Auth Connect to `@capgo/capacitor-social-login`
- move stored credentials from Identity Vault to `@capgo/capacitor-native-biometric`
- replace encrypted SQLite databases with `@capgo/capacitor-fast-sql`
- preserve active user sessions during migration using a two-release rollout

## Example prompts
- Audit the project for `@ionic-enterprise` packages and create a migration plan
- Migrate our Auth Connect setup to `@capgo/capacitor-social-login`
- Help me migrate Identity Vault data to `@capgo/capacitor-native-biometric` without logging out users

# Ionic Enterprise SDK Migration

Replace Ionic Enterprise plugins with open Capgo plugins one at a time, preserving login sessions and stored data.

Context: Ionic stopped selling its commercial products (including the Enterprise SDK) in February 2025 and is winding down maintenance; plan migrations before the license or support window ends.

## When to Use

TRIGGER when:
- `package.json` contains `@ionic-enterprise/auth`, `@ionic-enterprise/identity-vault`, or `@ionic-enterprise/secure-storage`.
- Code imports `AuthConnect`, `ProviderOptions`, `Vault`, `BrowserVault`, `VaultType`, `DeviceSecurityType`, or Secure Storage's `SQLite` / `KeyValueStorage`.
- The user asks how to replace Auth Connect, Identity Vault, or Secure Storage without forcing re-login.

Do not use for:
- Appflow Live Updates / builds -> `ionic-appflow-migration`.
- Community or other SQLite plugins -> `sqlite-to-fast-sql`.
- Biometric UX or general security review -> `capacitor-security`.
