## What it does

The skill routes requests to one of several workflows: create an app, add Stream to an existing project, set up packages and authentication, or migrate from the Sendbird Chat SDK. API and widget questions go through a reference lookup path. The agent reads `RULES.md` first.

For chat, it covers `stream_chat_flutter` with prebuilt UI and `stream_chat_flutter_core` for custom UI. Calls and livestreams use `stream_video_flutter`; activity feeds use `stream_feed` or `stream_feed_flutter_core`, which have no prebuilt UI. That matters if your project needs ready-made feed screens. The skill works in an existing Flutter project or when scaffolding a new one, and does not require Stream CLI.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-flutter -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-flutter -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-flutter -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install GetStream/agent-skills stream-flutter
```

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

### Gemini CLI

```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-flutter -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/GetStream/agent-skills --path skills/stream-flutter
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add GetStream/agent-skills --skill stream-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/GetStream/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/stream-flutter/SKILL.md

## When to use it

# Stream Flutter - skill router + execution flow

**Rules:** Read **[`RULES.md`](RULES.md)** once per session - every non-negotiable rule is stated there, nowhere else.

This file is the **single entrypoint**: intent classification, local project detection, and module pointers for Stream work in Flutter apps.

---

## Step 0: Intent classifier (mandatory first - never skip)

Before any tool call, decide the **track** from the user's input alone - no probes first.

### Signals -> track
