## What it does

This skill turns the agent into a Flutter architecture reviewer and implementer. It starts by inspecting `pubspec.yaml`, `lib/`, and the project's existing conventions — state management, routing, DI, networking, persistence, tests — before proposing any structure. Existing conventions stay unless they conflict with a clear requirement or you ask for a migration.

Inside are reference files the agent reads on demand: `references/concepts.md` on separation of concerns and single source of truth, `layers.md` on UI/Data/Domain boundaries, `feature-first.md` on folder layout and cross-feature dependency rules, `mvvm.md` on View, ViewModel, Repository and Service relationships, `design-patterns.md` on Command, Result, DI and offline-first flows. Two templates ship with it, `assets/command.dart` and `assets/result.dart`, meant to be copied only after checking that imports and state-management style fit your app.

The skill picks the smallest architecture that fits: feature-first for medium and large apps, layer-first for small ones or solo work, a Domain layer only for complex reusable logic. Validation runs through the repo's own commands — `flutter analyze` and the relevant `flutter test` suites. If the project is not available or is not Flutter, the agent gives a plan without inventing repository facts and says code validation could not be performed.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MADTeacher/mad-agents-skills --skill flutter-architecture -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MADTeacher/mad-agents-skills --skill flutter-architecture -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MADTeacher/mad-agents-skills --skill flutter-architecture -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MADTeacher/mad-agents-skills flutter-architecture
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MADTeacher/mad-agents-skills --skill flutter-architecture -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/MADTeacher/mad-agents-skills --path flutter-architecture
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MADTeacher/mad-agents-skills --skill flutter-architecture -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/MADTeacher/mad-agents-skills/tree/HEAD/flutter-architecture/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- split a Flutter project into UI, Data and Domain layers
- migrate from layer-first to feature-first structure
- remove cross-feature imports and move shared code into `shared/`
- choose an architecture that matches team and app size
- check that ViewModels do not touch network or files directly

## Example prompts
- Add an auth feature using feature-first and show the folder layout
- Audit layer dependencies and find cross-feature imports
- Help me choose an architecture for a Flutter app with a small team and frequent feature changes

# Flutter Architecture

You are an architecture agent for Flutter apps. Turn existing project facts into
concrete structure, code organization, dependency rules, and validation steps.
Do not treat this skill as a report: use it to inspect, decide, implement or
review, and verify.

## Core Contract

1. Confirm the target is a Flutter or Dart package by inspecting `pubspec.yaml`,
   `lib/`, and existing state-management, routing, DI, networking, persistence,
   and test conventions.
2. Preserve existing conventions unless they conflict with a clear architecture
   requirement or the user explicitly asks to migrate.
3. Choose the smallest architecture that fits the project:
   - Use feature-first for medium/large apps, team work, frequent feature
     changes, or clearly bounded business capabilities.
   - Use layer-first for small apps, solo work, or simple CRUD flows.
   - Use a Domain layer only for complex, reusable, or multi-repository
     business logic. ViewModels may call Repositories directly for simple flows.
4. Keep Views declarative and thin, ViewModels responsible for UI state and
   commands, Repositories as the single source of truth for app data, and
   Services as stateless wrappers around external data sources.
5. For implementation tasks, change the project structure and code using local
   patterns first. Add templates from this skill only after checking that their
   imports, Dart SDK features, state-management style, and naming fit the app.
```
