# Flutter MCP Toolkit Repo Maintainer > Maintain mcp_flutter releases, CHANGELOG, version pins, docs, and CI. Use when cutting a release, editing CHANGELOG.md, bumping VERSION, running release-please, sync-skills, check-contracts, or updating install/docs for npx skills and flutter-mcp-toolkit init. - Skill: `arenukvern/flutter-mcp-toolkit-repo-maintainer` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add arenukvern/flutter-mcp-toolkit-repo-maintainer` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/arenukvern/flutter-mcp-toolkit-repo-maintainer/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: arenukvern (https://skillmd.com/u/arenukvern) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/arenukvern/flutter-mcp-toolkit-repo-maintainer --- # flutter-mcp-toolkit repo maintainer Golden path for **this repository** (not end-user Flutter apps). Prefer release-please on `main`; use manual steps only when the Release PR path is blocked. ## When to use - Cutting a release or promoting `## [Unreleased]` in CHANGELOG.md - Adding/editing contributor docs, AI agent install docs, or plugin skills - Verifying version sync or skill asset drift before merge - Troubleshooting release-please, `release.yml` binaries, or `install.sh` version pins ## Version touchpoints (must match root `VERSION`) | File | Field | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [VERSION](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/VERSION) | repo pin | | [plugin/EXPECTED_SERVER_VERSION](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/plugin/EXPECTED_SERVER_VERSION) | installer pin | | [packages/core/lib/src/runtime_version.dart](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/packages/core/lib/src/runtime_version.dart) | `kFlutterMcpVersion` (`x-release-please-version`) | | [packages/server_capability_core/lib/src/fmt_capability.dart](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/packages/server_capability_core/lib/src/fmt_capability.dart) | `version` getter | | [mcp_server_dart/pubspec.yaml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/mcp_server_dart/pubspec.yaml) | `version:` | | [mcp_toolkit/pubspec.yaml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/mcp_toolkit/pubspec.yaml) | `version:` | | [packages/core/pubspec.yaml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/packages/core/pubspec.yaml) | `version:` | | [packages/server_capability_kernel/pubspec.yaml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/packages/server_capability_kernel/pubspec.yaml) | `version:` + same-train dependency constraints | | [packages/server_capability_core/pubspec.yaml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/packages/server_capability_core/pubspec.yaml) | `version:` + same-train dependency constraints | | [plugin/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/plugin/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json) | `version` | | [plugin/.codex-plugin/plugin.json](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/plugin/.codex-plugin/plugin.json) | `version` | | [plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json) | `version` | | [.claude-plugin/marketplace.json](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json) | `plugins[0].version` | | [.release-please-manifest.json](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/.release-please-manifest.json) | `"."` key | | [mcp_server_dart/lib/src/skill_assets.g.dart](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/mcp_server_dart/lib/src/skill_assets.g.dart) | **generated** — embeds `plugin/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json`, `plugin/.codex-plugin/plugin.json`, `plugin/mcp.json`, and all `plugin/skills/*/SKILL.md` | After any version bump: run `make sync-version`, then `make sync-skills`, then `make check-contracts` (includes `check_version_sync.sh` and `check_skill_assets_drift.sh`). `tool/release/sync_version.sh` derives all version touchpoints from root `VERSION`. **Harness / video (separate repos):** [flutter_harness](https://github.com/Arenukvern/flutter_harness), [flutter_mcp_video](https://github.com/Arenukvern/flutter_mcp_video) — not maintained in this plugin tree. Three-repo layout: [flutter_harness/docs/RELATED_REPOS.md](https://github.com/Arenukvern/flutter_harness/blob/main/docs/RELATED_REPOS.md). ## Changelog workflow 1. Add user-facing notes under `## [Unreleased]` in [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) (Keep a Changelog sections: Added, Changed, Fixed, Documentation). 2. Use conventional commit titles on `main` (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`) so release-please can aggregate. 3. Do **not** edit the plan file in `.cursor/plans/`. ### Markdown lint (MD052) Keep a Changelog **requires** version headings like `## [3.0.1]`. Linters treat `[3.0.1]` as an undefined **reference link** (MD052: "No link definition found"). - **Do not remove** the file-top `` in CHANGELOG.md (release-please must keep it when prepending sections). - In bullet text, use **backticks** for code identifiers: `` `AgentCallEntry` ``, not `[AgentCallEntry]`. - Before merge: `bash tool/contracts/check_changelog_markdown.sh` (also in `make check-contracts`). ## Automated release (preferred) ```mermaid flowchart LR main[merge_to_main] --> rp[release-please.yml] rp --> pr[Release_PR] pr --> sync[release_pr_sync_versions.yml] pr --> assets[release_pr_sync_skills.yml] pr --> tag[vX_Y_Z_tag] tag --> rel[release.yml_binaries] tag --> pub[pub_publish.yml_pubdev] ``` 1. Merge PRs to `main` with conventional commits. 2. Wait for **Release PR** from [release-please.yml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/.github/workflows/release-please.yml). 3. **version train:** [release_pr_sync_versions.yml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/.github/workflows/release_pr_sync_versions.yml) runs `tool/release/sync_version.sh` on Release PRs and commits any drift from root `VERSION`. 4. **skill assets:** [release_pr_sync_skills.yml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/.github/workflows/release_pr_sync_skills.yml) auto-commits `skill_assets.g.dart` on Release PRs when drift is detected; posts a checklist comment on PR open. If **skill-assets-drift** still fails, run `make sync-skills` locally and push. 5. Review VERSION, CHANGELOG, pubspecs, plugin pins in that PR → merge. 6. release-please creates `vX.Y.Z` + GitHub release notes. 7. [release.yml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml) asserts tag == `VERSION`, then attaches `flutter_mcp_*` tarballs (does not overwrite release body). 8. [pub_publish.yml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/.github/workflows/pub_publish.yml) publishes pub.dev packages in dependency order through OIDC: `flutter_mcp_toolkit_core` → `flutter_mcp_toolkit_capability_kernel` → `flutter_mcp_toolkit_capability_core` → `mcp_toolkit`. Before automated pub.dev publishing can run, each package must already have a first manual publish and pub.dev Admin must enable GitHub Actions publishing for this repository with tag pattern `v{{version}}`. Use GitHub environment `pub.dev` with required reviewers. Config: [release-please-config.json](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/release-please-config.json). ## Manual release (fallback) Use when release-please is unavailable or you must ship from a branch: 1. Move `## [Unreleased]` bullets into `## [X.Y.Z]` (add date), leave empty `## [Unreleased]`. 2. Update `VERSION` to `X.Y.Z`. 3. `make sync-version` to derive all version touchpoints and `.release-please-manifest.json`. 4. `make sync-skills` (required whenever plugin manifests or skills change). 5. `make check-contracts` 6. Commit: `chore: release X.Y.Z` 7. Optional pub.dev preflight: `make publish-pub-dry-run`. 8. Tag: `git tag vX.Y.Z` and push tag (triggers binary and pub.dev workflows). Build artifacts locally: `make release-artifacts` or `bash tool/release/build_release_artifacts.sh --version X.Y.Z`. Publish pub.dev packages locally only as a fallback: `make publish-pub`. ## Docs map (single sources of truth) | Topic | Canonical doc | | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | End-user agent install | [docs/ai_agents/overview.mdx](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/docs/ai_agents/overview.mdx) | | `npx skills` + lockfile | overview § Install via `npx skills`; [.skills.json.example](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/.skills.json.example) | | Contributor / releases | [docs/contributing/contribution_guide.mdx](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/docs/contributing/contribution_guide.mdx) | | Plugin layout | [plugin/README.md](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/plugin/README.md) | | Marketplace copy SSOT | [docs/ai_agents/marketplace_copy.yaml](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/docs/ai_agents/marketplace_copy.yaml) | | Distribution / stores | [docs/ai_agents/marketplace_distribution.mdx](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/docs/ai_agents/marketplace_distribution.mdx) | | Store submission runbook | [docs/contributing/marketplace_submission_runbook.mdx](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/docs/contributing/marketplace_submission_runbook.mdx) | | Skill bodies | `plugin/skills//SKILL.md` → `make sync-skills` | Avoid duplicating install tables in README — link to overview. ## Skills maintenance - Canonical skills: `plugin/skills/` (repo root `skills/` → symlink for `npx skills`). - New bundled skill: add `plugin/skills//SKILL.md`, append `id` to `expectedSkillIds` in [build_skill_assets.dart](https://github.com/Arenukvern/mcp_flutter/blob/main/mcp_server_dart/tool/build_skill_assets.dart), run `make sync-skills`. - Local Cursor copy: `.cursor/skills//` may symlink to `plugin/skills//`. - Platform dogfood skills: `flutter-mcp-toolkit-maintain-web`, `flutter-mcp-toolkit-maintain-macos`, `flutter-mcp-toolkit-dogfood-iterations`. ### HyperFrames promo (flutter_mcp_video repo) Video skill and projects live in **[flutter_mcp_video](https://github.com/Arenukvern/flutter_mcp_video)** (`skills/hyperframes-video/`, `projects/video-projects//`). Not bundled in toolkit `make sync-skills`. When shipping a promo there: edit the video repo; run `bash tool/check_doc_paths.sh` in that repo before merge. Toolkit repo only hosts shared brand assets under `plugin/assets/` (symlink targets for v7-weaver). ## IntentCall consumer maintainer gate When changing IntentCall consumer integration in `mcp_flutter`: 1. Append `flutter-mcp-toolkit-intentcall-migration` to `expectedSkillIds` in `build_skill_assets.dart` if not already present. 2. `make sync-skills` — commit `skill_assets.g.dart` with skill edits. 3. `bash tool/contracts/check_intentcall_skills_grep.sh` — no legacy call-entry symbol outside migration skill. 4. `cd mcp_server_dart && dart test test/contract/` 5. `flutter-mcp-toolkit migrate agent-entries --check flutter_test_app/lib` (expect exit 0) 6. Keep canonical IntentCall design links pointed at the IntentCall repository; keep this repo focused on hosted dependency and regression proof. ## Pre-merge checklist - [ ] `make check-contracts` - [ ] `make sync-skills` if `plugin/skills/` or `plugin/*-plugin/plugin.json` changed - [ ] CHANGELOG `[Unreleased]` updated for user-visible changes - [ ] No secrets in committed configs
