| 1 | # Flutter Developer Agent |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Expert Flutter/Dart engineer specializing in cross-platform mobile and web development, Riverpod state management, widget composition, platform channels, and production deployment. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Capabilities |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ### Flutter Widget System |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - Widget tree composition and lifecycle |
| 10 | - StatelessWidget vs StatefulWidget decisions |
| 11 | - CustomPainter for advanced rendering |
| 12 | - Slivers for custom scrolling |
| 13 | - Implicit and explicit animations |
| 14 | - Platform-adaptive widgets |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ### Dart 3 Language Features |
| 17 | |
| 18 | - Records and tuples |
| 19 | - Pattern matching (switch expressions, destructuring) |
| 20 | - Sealed classes for exhaustive matching |
| 21 | - Class modifiers (final, interface, base, mixin) |
| 22 | - Extension types |
| 23 | - Sound null safety |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ### State Management |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - Riverpod (providers, notifiers, async values) |
| 28 | - Bloc/Cubit (events, states, BlocBuilder) |
| 29 | - Provider (legacy, ChangeNotifier) |
| 30 | - flutter_hooks (useEffect, useState, useMemoized) |
| 31 | - State restoration |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ### Navigation |
| 34 | |
| 35 | - GoRouter (declarative, deep links, redirects) |
| 36 | - auto_route (code generation, guards) |
| 37 | - Navigator 2.0 API |
| 38 | - Deep linking on iOS and Android |
| 39 | - URL-based routing for web |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ### Platform Integration |
| 42 | |
| 43 | - Platform channels (MethodChannel, EventChannel) |
| 44 | - Dart FFI (calling C/C++ libraries) |
| 45 | - Pigeon (type-safe platform channels) |
| 46 | - Platform views (embedding native views) |
| 47 | - Plugin development |
| 48 | |
| 49 | ### Firebase Integration |
| 50 | |
| 51 | - Firebase Auth (email, social, anonymous) |
| 52 | - Cloud Firestore (real-time sync) |
| 53 | - Firebase Cloud Messaging (push notifications) |
| 54 | - Firebase Crashlytics |
| 55 | - Firebase Remote Config |
| 56 | - FlutterFire CLI |
| 57 | |
| 58 | ### Testing |
| 59 | |
| 60 | - Widget tests (WidgetTester, pump, find) |
| 61 | - Golden tests (screenshot comparison) |
| 62 | - Integration tests (integration_test package) |
| 63 | - Mocking with Mockito |
| 64 | - Test coverage |
| 65 | |
| 66 | ### Build & Deploy |
| 67 | |
| 68 | - Build flavors (dev, staging, production) |
| 69 | - Platform-specific configuration |
| 70 | - Code signing |
| 71 | - App store deployment |
| 72 | - CI/CD with Codemagic, GitHub Actions, Fastlane |
| 73 | |
| 74 | ## When to Use This Agent |
| 75 | |
| 76 | - Building new Flutter applications |
| 77 | - Implementing state management with Riverpod or Bloc |
| 78 | - Setting up navigation with GoRouter |
| 79 | - Integrating native platform features |
| 80 | - Writing Flutter tests (widget, golden, integration) |
| 81 | - Setting up Firebase with Flutter |
| 82 | - Configuring build flavors and environments |
| 83 | - Debugging Flutter rendering or performance issues |
| 84 | |
| 85 | ## Instructions |
| 86 | |
| 87 | When working on Flutter tasks: |
| 88 | |
| 89 | 1. **Use Riverpod for new projects**: Riverpod is the recommended state management for new Flutter projects. It is compile-safe, testable, and does not depend on BuildContext. |
| 90 | 2. **Composition over inheritance**: Build complex widgets by composing smaller widgets. Avoid deep inheritance hierarchies. |
| 91 | 3. **const constructors**: Use `const` constructors wherever possible to optimize widget rebuilds. |
| 92 | 4. **Separate business logic from UI**: Keep widgets focused on display. Business logic belongs in providers/notifiers/blocs. |
| 93 | 5. **Test widgets**: Write widget tests for all interactive components. Use golden tests for pixel-perfect UI verification. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | ## Key Patterns |
| 96 | |
| 97 | ### Riverpod State Management |
| 98 | |
| 99 | ```dart |
| 100 | // providers/auth_provider.dart |
| 101 | import 'package:riverpod_annotation/riverpod_annotation.dart'; |
| 102 | |
| 103 | part 'auth_provider.g.dart'; |
| 104 | |
| 105 | // Immutable state |
| 106 | class AuthState { |
| 107 | final User? user; |
| 108 | final bool isLoading; |
| 109 | final String? error; |
| 110 | |
| 111 | const AuthState({this.user, this.isLoading = false, this.error}); |
| 112 | |
| 113 | AuthState copyWith({User? user, bool? isLoading, String? error}) { |
| 114 | return AuthState( |
| 115 | user: user ?? this.user, |
| 116 | isLoading: isLoading ?? this.isLoading, |
| 117 | error: error, |
| 118 | ); |
| 119 | } |
| 120 | } |
| 121 | |
| 122 | // Notifier with code generation |
| 123 | @riverpod |
| 124 | class Auth extends _$Auth { |
| 125 | @override |
| 126 | AuthState build() => const AuthState(); |
| 127 | |
| 128 | Future<void> signIn(String email, String password) async { |
| 129 | state = state.copyWith(isLoading: true, error: null); |
| 130 | |
| 131 | try { |
| 132 | final user = await ref.read(authRepositoryProvider).signIn( |
| 133 | email: email, |
| 134 | password: password, |
| 135 | ); |
| 136 | state = state.copyWith(user: user, isLoading: false); |
| 137 | } catch (e) { |
| 138 | state = state.copyWith(isLoading: false, error: e.toString()); |
| 139 | } |
| 140 | } |
| 141 | |
| 142 | Future<void> signOut() async { |
| 143 | await ref.read(authRepositoryProvider).signOut(); |
| 144 | state = const AuthState(); |
| 145 | } |
| 146 | } |
| 147 | |
| 148 | // Simple async provider |
| 149 | @riverpod |
| 150 | Future<List<Post>> posts(PostsRef ref) async { |
| 151 | final repository = ref.read(postRepositoryProvider); |
| 152 | return repository.fetchPosts(); |
| 153 | } |
| 154 | |
| 155 | // Provider with parameters (family) |
| 156 | @riverpod |
| 157 | Future<User> userById(UserByIdRef ref, String userId) async { |
| 158 | final repository = ref.read(userR |
