## What it does

This skill covers `flutter_zoom_videosdk` in Flutter apps that need their own real-time video sessions. These are custom sessions, not Zoom Meetings, and the integration is event-driven from the start — bind your listeners early or you will lose track of session state.

The material walks through the flow step by step: init, joinSession, media and control, leave, cleanup. Separate pages cover the helper-based architecture pattern, tokenized session join, listener mapping and action routing, plus package setup and platform prerequisites. There is a module map and a page listing deprecated items and contradictions.

Keep SDK credentials server-side and generate the JWT on your backend; the app should only receive a finished token. Feature support and enum names can drift between the wrapper and the native SDK, so check the version drift notes before you bump the package.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill flutter -a codex
```

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

### Claude Code

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

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

### Cursor

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install openai/plugins flutter
```

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

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/zoom/skills/video-sdk/flutter
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### 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/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/zoom/skills/video-sdk/flutter/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a custom video session inside a Flutter app
- bind SDK event listeners before joining a session
- walk through init, join, leave and cleanup in order
- issue a JWT on the backend instead of shipping keys in the app
- find out why enum names changed after an SDK upgrade

## Example prompts
- Help me wire up flutter_zoom_videosdk and outline the session lifecycle
- Show how to bind event listeners before joinSession
- Generate the token on my backend and show the session join flow

## Core Notes

- Video SDK sessions are custom sessions, not Zoom Meetings.
- Keep SDK credentials server-side; generate JWT token on backend.
- Integration is strongly event-driven; bind listener flows early.
- Feature support and enum names can drift by wrapper/native version.
