When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

• Create a new Flutter project from scratch
• Choose target platforms (Android, iOS, web, desktop)
• Configure organization name and package identifier
• Set up the initial project structure with dependencies
• Generate a Flutter project with a specific template

How to use this skill

Workflow

1. Gather requirements: project name, organization, target platforms, and any preferred packages
2. Run flutter create with the appropriate flags
3. Configure pubspec.yaml with initial dependencies and assets
4. Verify the project builds and runs with flutter run

1. Project Creation

# Basic project creation
flutter create my_app

# With organization and platform selection
flutter create my_app --org com.example --platforms android,ios,web

# Create a package or plugin
flutter create --template=package my_package
flutter create --template=plugin my_plugin --platforms android,ios

2. Project Structure

my_app/
├── lib/
│   └── main.dart          # Entry point
├── test/
│   └── widget_test.dart   # Widget tests
├── android/               # Android native code
├── ios/                   # iOS native code
├── pubspec.yaml           # Dependencies and metadata
└── README.md

3. Configure pubspec.yaml

name: my_app
description: A new Flutter application.
version: 1.0.0+1

environment:
  sdk: '>=3.0.0 <4.0.0'

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter
  flutter_lints: ^3.0.0

flutter:
  uses-material-design: true
  assets:
    - assets/images/

4. Initial Run

# Install dependencies
flutter pub get

# Run on connected device
flutter run

# Build release APK
flutter build apk --release

Best Practices

• Use a consistent organization name (--org) across projects
• Lock dependency versions in pubspec.yaml for reproducible builds
• Remove default comments and sample code before expanding the project
• Run flutter doctor to verify the development environment is set up correctly
• Set up CI with flutter test and flutter build early in the project lifecycle
