What it does

Internal implementation skill invoked by /add-native for pen, signature, ink, drawing, and handwriting capture workflows using @microsoft/power-apps-native-pen-input.

📋 Shared instructions: shared-instructions.md, read first.

Working directory: before any project read or command, execute native-artifact-compatibility.md Step 0. 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.

Add Pen Input

Internal helper. Users should invoke /add-native pen-input, /add-native signature, or /add-native @microsoft/power-apps-native-pen-input; /add-native routes here after resolving the capability.

Generate or verify the native pen input wrapper and show how to call its native React Native API. Do not use the HostingSDK / PCF path from the package README; that is for a different use case.

Steps

1. Verify app

cd -- '<working_dir>' || { echo "BLOCKED: cannot enter working_dir" >&2; exit 1; }
test -f app.config.js && test -f power.config.json && test -f package.json && test -d src || { echo "BLOCKED: working_dir is not an initialized app" >&2; exit 1; }

If this fails, tell the user to run /create-mobile-app first and STOP.

2. Verify package is already present

cd -- '<working_dir>' || { echo "BLOCKED: cannot enter working_dir" >&2; exit 1; }
node -e "const p=require('./package.json'); const m='@microsoft/power-apps-native-pen-input'; if (!p.dependencies?.[m]) { console.error('MISSING: ' + m + ' is not in package.json. The template/app must already ship this native extension. This skill will not install it or edit native config.'); process.exit(1); } console.log('OK: pen input package present');"

If the check fails, STOP. Do not run npm install, npx expo install, pod install, or edit app.config.js. This package contains native iOS/Android code and must already be part of the app's native build.
