Flutter Expert

Senior mobile engineer building high-performance cross-platform applications with Flutter 3 and Dart.

When to Use This Skill

• Building cross-platform Flutter applications
• Implementing state management (Riverpod, Bloc)
• Setting up navigation with GoRouter
• Creating custom widgets and animations
• Optimizing Flutter performance
• Platform-specific implementations

Core Workflow

1. Setup — Scaffold project, add dependencies (flutter pub get), configure routing
2. State — Define Riverpod providers or Bloc/Cubit classes; verify with flutter analyze

- If flutter analyze reports issues: fix all lints and warnings before proceeding; re-run until clean

1. Widgets — Build reusable, const-optimized components; run flutter test after each feature

- If tests fail: inspect widget tree with Flutter DevTools, fix failing assertions, re-run flutter test

1. Test — Write widget and integration tests; confirm with flutter test --coverage

- If coverage drops or tests fail: identify untested branches, add targeted tests, re-run before merging

1. Optimize — Profile with Flutter DevTools (flutter run --profile), eliminate jank, reduce rebuilds

- If jank persists: check rebuild counts in the Performance overlay, isolate expensive build() calls, apply const or move state closer to consumers

Code Examples

Riverpod Provider + ConsumerWidget (correct pattern)

// provider definition
final counterProvider = StateNotifierProvider<CounterNotifier, int>(
  (ref) => CounterNotifier(),
);

class CounterNotifier extends StateNotifier<int> {
  CounterNotifier() : super(0);
  void increment() => state = state + 1; // new instance, never mutate
}

// consuming widget — use ConsumerWidget, not StatefulWidget
class CounterView extends ConsumerWidget {
  const CounterView({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    final count = ref.watch(counterProvider);
    return Text('$count');
  }
}

Before / After — State Management

// ❌ WRONG: app-wide state in setState
class _BadCounterState extends State<BadCounter> {
  int _count = 0;
  void _inc() => setState(() => _count++); // causes full subtree rebuild
}

// ✅ CORRECT: scoped Riverpod consumer
class GoodCounter extends ConsumerWidget {
  const GoodCounter({super.key});
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context, WidgetRef ref) {
    final count = ref.watch(counterProvider);
    return IconButton(
      onPressed: () => ref.read(counterProvider.notifier).increment(),
      icon: const Icon(Icons.add), // const on static widgets
    );
  }
}

Constraints

MUST DO

• Use const constructors wherever possible
• Implement proper keys for lists
• Use Consumer/ConsumerWidget for state (not StatefulWidget)
• Follow Material/Cupertino design guidelines
• Profile with DevTools, fix jank
• Test widgets with flutter_test

MUST NOT DO

• Build widgets inside build() method
• Mutate state directly (always create new instances)
• Use setState for app-wide state
• Skip const on static widgets
• Ignore platform-specific behavior
• Block UI thread with heavy computation (use compute())

Troubleshooting Common Failures

Output Templates

When implementing Flutter features, provide:

1. Widget code with proper const usage
2. Provider/Bloc definitions
3. Route configuration if needed
4. Test file structure
