## What it does

This skill helps an agent select the right `lightning/mobileCapabilities` service and load its types before wiring it into a Salesforce LWC. It covers barcode and document scanning, biometrics, location, geofencing, calendar access, contacts, NFC, AR space capture, app reviews, and payments.

For each service, the agent imports its factory, creates an instance, and checks `isAvailable()` before making a call. It uses current API entry points, wraps promises in `try/catch`, and handles cancellation, permission denial, and unavailable services as different states. The availability check is non-negotiable because a service object can exist on desktop or mobile web while the capability itself is unavailable.

The LWC needs to run in Salesforce Mobile App or Field Service Mobile App. Use `mobile-platform-offline-validate` for mobile-offline reviews, and `design-systems-slds-apply` for choosing Lightning base components or SLDS blueprints.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install forcedotcom/sf-skills mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills --path skills/mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill mobile-platform-native-capabilities-integrate -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

## When to use it
- add barcode scanning to a Salesforce LWC
- request biometric authentication on a device
- read coordinates and handle geofence events
- create events in the device calendar
- read or write NFC tags

## Example prompts
- Build an LWC that scans a barcode with `lightning/mobileCapabilities` and saves the result in a field.
- Add biometric authentication to this component and handle a denied permission.
- Create an LWC that reads device location, checks `isAvailable()`, and shows a fallback message.

Use this skill when the user asks for an LWC that scans a barcode, captures a photo of a document, reads location or geofences, prompts for biometrics, reads/writes the device calendar or contacts, taps NFC, takes a payment, prompts for an app review, or scans an AR space. Also triggers on \"lightning/mobileCapabilities\", \"mobile capability\", \"Nimbus\", \"device capability\". Do not use for mobile offline / Komaci priming reviews (use `mobile-platform-offline-validate`) or for picking generic Lightning base components (use `design-systems-slds-apply`)."

# Using Mobile Native Capabilities

The `lightning/mobileCapabilities` module exposes a set of factory functions
that return service objects for native device features (barcode scanning,
biometrics, location, etc.). Each service extends a common
[BaseCapability](references/base-capability.md) with an `isAvailable()`
method, so an LWC can degrade gracefully on surfaces where the capability is
not present (desktop, mobile web).

This skill routes an agent through (1) picking the right capability, (2)
loading the authoritative type definitions, and (3) wiring the service into
an LWC with the correct availability gating, error handling, and
deprecation-aware API choice.

## When to Use This Skill

- User asks for an LWC that uses a device capability listed in the index
  below.
- User mentions `lightning/mobileCapabilities`, "mobile capability", or
  "Nimbus" by name.
- User wants to know which mobile native APIs are available, or which one
  fits their feature.

Do NOT use this skill for:

- Mobile-offline review of an LWC (lwc:if, inline GraphQL, Komaci-priming
  violations) — use `mobile-platform-offline-validate`.
```
