SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Flutter apps often struggle with implementing reliable network communication. This Skill provides guided patterns for HTTP requests, WebSocket communication, and authenticated API usage, reducing boilerplate and ensuring robust error handling and performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

HTTP CRUD patterns: standard GET/POST/PUT/DELETE flows with error handling and timeouts.
WebSocket real-time messaging: setup, message handling, and reconnection strategies.
Authentication flows: token management, headers, and secure storage integrations.
Use Case: Build a chat app or dashboard that fetches data and streams updates with secure access.
Example integration guidance across MVVM or BLoC patterns.

Quick Start

Use the flutter-networking skill to implement a basic GET request to a sample API and display the result.
