## What it does

The skill inspects the project root for `dynatrace.config.yaml` or guides configuration via Dynatrace Experience Vitals. It inserts `dynatrace_flutter_plugin` into `dependencies` inside `pubspec.yaml`. The package must live under `dependencies` rather than `dev_dependencies` because monitoring is required at runtime in release builds.

Native build setup is automated. Running `dart run dynatrace_flutter_plugin` updates Android Gradle files and `Info.plist` without manual edits. Inside `lib/main.dart`, the skill replaces `runApp()` with `Dynatrace().start()`, registers `DynatraceNavigationObserver` on the root app widget, and configures `createHttpClient()`.

Prerequisites include the Flutter SDK, `dart` on your `PATH`, and Dynatrace credentials such as `applicationId` and `beaconUrl`. Querying frontend RUM analytics is outside its scope; use `dt-obs-frontends` for telemetry queries instead.

## Requirements
- Works with: Dynatrace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-setup-flutter -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/dt-setup-flutter/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/dt-setup-flutter/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-setup-flutter -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/dt-setup-flutter/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-setup-flutter -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/dt-setup-flutter/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai dt-setup-flutter
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/dt-setup-flutter/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-setup-flutter -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --path skills/dt-setup-flutter
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/dt-setup-flutter/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai --skill dt-setup-flutter -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai/tree/HEAD/skills/dt-setup-flutter/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- add dynatrace_flutter_plugin to Flutter dependencies
- generate dynatrace.config.yaml with mobile credentials
- initialize the SDK by replacing runApp with Dynatrace().start
- track screen navigation using DynatraceNavigationObserver
- instrument HTTP clients for mobile network monitoring

## Example prompts
- Integrate Dynatrace into this Flutter project
- Set up dynatrace_flutter_plugin and configure navigation observers
- Instrument our HTTP client calls for Dynatrace monitoring

# Dynatrace Flutter Plugin Integration Skill

## Prerequisites

- Flutter SDK installed and `flutter` available on `PATH`
- An existing Flutter project with a `pubspec.yaml` at the project root
- A Dynatrace environment with access to Experience Vitals (to obtain `applicationId` and `beaconUrl`, or to download `dynatrace.config.yaml`)
- Console access to Experience Vitals → Mobile to configure app settings (Data Privacy, Enablement and Cost Control)
- `dart` CLI available (comes with Flutter SDK; used to run the plugin configuration script)

Work through the steps below in order, interacting with the user at each decision point. Read actual project files before suggesting changes — do not assume the current state.

## Step 1 — Check for existing `dynatrace.config.yaml`

Before asking the user anything, check whether `dynatrace.config.yaml` exists at the project root.

- **File exists:** Read it, show the `applicationId` and `beaconUrl`, and confirm they match the target environment. If correct, run the `userOptIn` check below and skip to Step 3.
- **File does not exist:** Proceed to Step 2.

**`userOptIn` check:**

Inspect the file for `userOptIn` (Android) and `DTXUserOptIn` (iOS).

- **Present on both platforms:** Trust the value as-is. If `true`, flag Step 7a. If `false`, skip Step 7a.
- **Absent from either platform:** Ask the user: **"Do you have User Opt-In mode enabled or disabled?"** (If unsure: Experience Vitals → Mobile → [Your App] → Settings → Data Privacy.) Add the missing value to the relevant platform(s), then flag Step 7a if the final value is `true`.

## Step 2 — Obtain `dynatrace.config.yaml` (only if Step 1 found no file)

Ask the user which approach they prefer:

**Option A — Download from console (recommended):**

1. Open their Dynatrace environment
1. Navigate to: Experience Vitals → New Frontend → Mobile
1. Enter app name and choose **Flutter** as the platform
1. On the **Select capability and settings** screen, configure monitoring features (Crash reporting, user action monitoring, etc.). User action monitoring can be changed later via Experience Vitals → [App] → Settings → Enablement and Cost Control.
```
