## What it does

This rule sets development guidelines for Flutter applications. It directs Cursor to use the BLoC pattern for state management and `GetIt` for dependency injection. Routing relies on `GoRouter`, while error handling uses the `Either` type. When creating features, it organizes code into `data`, `domain`, and `presentation` layers.

The prompt includes a flexibility notice: if the repository uses a different layout, the agent must adapt to it. For UI components, the rule requires `const` constructors where possible and accessibility checks. Business logic must be covered by unit tests, while UI elements require widget tests.

Because the configuration sets `alwaysApply: false`, Cursor does not automatically load these instructions into every prompt.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/rules/flutter-app-expert-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/flutter-app-expert-cursorrules-prompt-file.md` — The paths frontmatter field limits the files: move globs from the source into paths

### Codex

**AGENTS.md**
- Codex reads AGENTS.md: paste the rule text there

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/instructions/flutter-app-expert-cursorrules-prompt-file.instructions.md` — The applyTo field sets which files it applies to: move globs from the source into applyTo

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/rules/flutter-app-expert-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/flutter-app-expert-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

## When to use it
- Scaffold feature directories into data, domain, and presentation layers
- Implement state management using BLoC and service location with GetIt
- Write unit and widget tests following consistent naming conventions
- Handle application errors systematically using the Either pattern

## Example prompts
- Generate a new auth feature following clean architecture and BLoC
- Build an optimized order history list view with image caching
- Create unit tests and mocks for the user repository use case
