Review the changes since a fixed point (commit, branch, tag, or merge-base) along two axes — Standards (does the code follow this repo's documented coding standards?) and Spec (does the code match what the originating issue/PRD asked for?). Runs both reviews in parallel sub-agents and reports them side by side. Use when the user wants to review a branch, a PR, work-in-progress changes, or asks to "review since X".
Write and organize unit tests for functions, methods, and classes using `package:test`. Use when creating new logic or fixing bugs to ensure code remains correct and regression-free.
Define and generate mock objects for external dependencies using `package:mockito` and `build_runner`. Use when unit testing classes that depend on complex external services like APIs or databases.
Execute `dart analyze` to identify warnings and errors, and use `dart fix --apply` to automatically resolve mechanical lint issues. Use during development to ensure code quality and before committing changes.
Guides agents in compiling and packaging C/C++ source code into dynamic or static libraries (Code Assets) using Dart's Native Assets hook system (via hook/build.dart and hook/link.dart utilizing package:hooks and package:native_toolchain_c). Use when a user asks to: 'setup native assets', 'compile C/C++ source code', 'bundle dynamic libraries', 'build native C code', 'link native assets', 'implement build.dart or link.dart hooks', or 'integrate C/C++ interop in Dart/Flutter'. Helps agents avoid manual toolchain orchestration and configures secure hash-validated binary downloads or advanced linker tree-shaking with package:record_use mapping.
Guide agents to use `package:ffigen` to automatically generate FFI bindings instead of writing them manually. Use this skill when a task involves writing new FFI bindings, extending C/Objective-C/Swift integrations, or replacing hand-crafted `dart:ffi` setups.
Help users write syntactically and semantically correct primary constructors in Dart, and migrate/use the new constructor syntax, empty-body semicolon syntax, in-body initializer list syntax, and abbreviated concise constructor syntax.
Configures Flutter Driver for app interaction and converts MCP actions into permanent integration tests. Use when adding integration testing to a project, exploring UI components via MCP, or automating user flows with the integration_test package.
Adds interactive widget previews to the project using the previews.dart system. Use when creating new UI components or updating existing screens to ensure consistent design and interactive testing.
Implement a component-level test using `WidgetTester` to verify UI rendering and user interactions (tapping, scrolling, entering text). Use when validating that a specific widget displays correct data and responds to events as expected.
Architects a Flutter application using the recommended layered approach (UI, Logic, Data). Use when structuring a new project or refactoring for scalability.
Use `LayoutBuilder`, `MediaQuery`, or `Expanded/Flexible` to create a layout that adapts to different screen sizes. Use when you need the UI to look good on both mobile and tablet/desktop form factors.
Fixes Flutter layout errors (overflows, unbounded constraints) using Dart and Flutter MCP tools. Use when addressing "RenderFlex overflowed", "Vertical viewport was given unbounded height", or similar layout issues.
Create model classes with `fromJson` and `toJson` methods using `dart:convert`. Use when manually mapping JSON keys to class properties for simple data structures.
Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
What is a skill?
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Can I search my own team's files too?
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
