SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents inconsistent Flutter dependency management by enforcing clear pubspec.yaml standards, reliable package declarations, and safe version resolution practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency Organization: Guides placement of packages in dependencies or dev_dependencies and keeps pubspec.yaml declarative.
  • Package Management Standards: Enforces pub.dev links, SDK constraint discipline, lock file safety, and code generation package conventions.
  • Use Case: Help a Flutter developer add a new package, configure code generation tools, or review an existing pubspec.yaml for maintainable project structure.

Quick Start

Ask the pubspec skill to review my Flutter pubspec.yaml and suggest dependency management improvements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize Flutter dependencies in pubspec.yaml?

Organize Flutter dependencies by separating runtime packages into dependencies and development tooling into dev_dependencies, keeping pubspec.yaml declarative. Maintain SDK constraint discipline and use pub.dev references for consistent project structure.

What is the best way to configure code generation packages in Dart?

Configure code generation packages in Dart by separating build tooling into dev_dependencies while keeping generated runtime requirements in dependencies. Enforce lock file integrity and declarative definitions for safe version resolution.

How do I review an existing pubspec.yaml for maintainable project structure?

Review pubspec.yaml for maintainable structure by checking SDK constraints, verifying pub.dev package links, validating lock file safety, and ensuring proper separation of runtime and development tooling packages for consistent dependency management.

Why does inconsistent Flutter dependency management cause issues?

Inconsistent Flutter dependency management causes issues by breaking lock file integrity and allowing unsafe version resolution. Enforcing clear pubspec.yaml standards with declarative dependency definitions prevents unreliable package declarations.

Do I need to separate dev_dependencies from regular dependencies in Flutter?

Yes, you need to separate dev_dependencies from regular dependencies in Flutter to maintain correct code generation setup and project structure. Separating development tooling from runtime packages ensures clean declarative dependency definitions and lock file safety.

When should I update SDK constraints in pubspec.yaml?

Update SDK constraints in pubspec.yaml when adding new packages or configuring code generation tools to ensure compatibility. Apply SDK constraint discipline during dependency organization to maintain lock file integrity and safe version resolution practices.
