## Description

Internal implementation skill invoked by /add-native for camera, image picker, barcode scanner, QR scanner, and camera/gallery Dataverse artifact workflows.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

**Shared instructions: [shared-instructions.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md)**, read first.

**Working directory:** before any project read or command, execute
[native-artifact-compatibility.md Step 0](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/references/native-artifact-compatibility.md#0-bind-every-operation-to-the-app-root).
Inherit `/add-native`'s resolved absolute `working_dir`; bind every shell call and
file tool to it, even when this helper starts from another directory.

**References:**

- [dataverse-reference.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/add-dataverse/references/dataverse-reference.md), File/image column upload patterns (Step 7, 8)

# Add Camera

**Internal helper.** Users should invoke `/add-native camera`, `/add-native image-picker`, `/add-native barcode-scanner`, or `/add-native qr-scanner`; `/add-native` routes here after resolving the capability.

Generate typed camera + image-picker wrappers, an optional barcode/QR scanner control, and optional custom-upload guidance for Dataverse image/file workflows.

This skill **only writes JS files under `src/native/`**. It does not install
modules or touch `package.json` / `app.config.js`. Only the modules required by
the approved artifact set below must already ship in the template/native build;
if a required module is missing, STOP. Do not require unrelated capture packages
for a scanner-only or upload-only request.

Why: customer binaries are built from a pre-built rewrap base, not from the customer's `package.json`. Adding a native module here would compile against modules the binary doesn't actually contain, causing runtime crashes after rewrap. See [`/add-native`](../SKILL.md) for the same hard rules.

Required modules depend on the approved artifact set (all must already be in
`package.json`):
