Flutter Executing

Executing Flutter Implementation Plans

Overview

Load plan, review critically, execute tasks in batches, run Flutter verifications, report for review between batches.

Core principle: Batch execution with checkpoints for review.

Announce at start: "I'm using the flutter-executing skill to implement this plan."

The Process

Step 1: Load and Review Plan

1. Read plan file

   cat docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature>-plan.md
   

2. Check dependencies first

   cat pubspec.yaml
   

3. Install new dependencies if needed

   flutter pub get
   

4. Review critically:

   • Are file paths correct?
   • Is layer order followed (Domain → Data → Presentation)?
   • Are there any gaps in the plan?

5. If concerns: Raise them before starting

6. If no concerns: Create todo entries (task tracking tool) and proceed

Step 2: Execute Batch

Default: First 3 tasks

For each task:

1. Mark as in_progress in the task tracker
2. Create/modify files as specified
3. Write complete code (from plan)
4. Run verification:

   flutter analyze lib/features/<feature>/
   

5. Commit:

   git add <files>
   git commit -m "<conventional commit message>"
   

6. Mark as completed in the task tracker

Step 3: Verify Batch

After completing 3 tasks, run full verification:

# Static analysis
flutter analyze
# Expected: No issues found!

# Run tests (if test files exist)
flutter test test/features/<feature>/
# Expected: All tests passed!

# Quick build check (optional — full build runs once in flutter-finishing)
flutter build <target> --debug   # apk / ios / web / windows … per project platform
# Expected: Built successfully

Step 4: Report

When batch complete, report:

## Batch N Complete

**Tasks completed:**
1. ✅ Task 1: [description]
2. ✅ Task 2: [description]
3. ✅ Task 3: [description]

**Verification:**
- flutter analyze: No issues found
- flutter test: X/X passed

**Files created/modified:**
- lib/features/.../entity.dart
- lib/features/.../repository.dart
- ...

**Ready for feedback.**

Step 5: Continue

Based on feedback:

• Apply changes if needed
• Execute next batch of 3 tasks
• Repeat until all tasks complete

Step 6: Complete Development

After all tasks complete and verified:

1. Run final verification:

   flutter analyze
   flutter test
   flutter build <target> --debug  # per project platform (apk/ios/web/…)
   

2. Announce: "I'm using the flutter-finishing skill to complete this work."

3. REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use flutter-craft:flutter-finishing

   • Verify tests
   • Present 4 options (merge/PR/keep/discard)
   • Execute choice
   • Cleanup worktree if applicable

Flutter-Specific Verification Commands

When to Stop and Ask for Help

STOP executing immediately when:

• flutter analyze shows errors (not just warnings)
• Tests fail with unclear cause
• Missing dependency not in pubspec.yaml
• Plan has unclear instructions
• File path in plan doesn't match project structure
• State management pattern unclear

Ask for clarification rather than guessing.

Layer Order Verification

Before executing, verify plan follows this order:

1. Domain Layer tasks first
   ├── Entities
   ├── Repository interfaces
   └── UseCases

2. Data Layer tasks second
   ├── Models
   ├── DataSources
   └── Repository implementations

3. Presentation Layer tasks third
   ├── State Management
   ├── Widgets
   └── Screens

4. Test tasks after implementation
   ├── Repository tests (priority 1)
   ├── State tests (priority 2)
   ├── Widget tests (priority 3, optional)
   └── Golden tests (priority 4, optional, visual regression)

If plan doesn't follow this order, raise concern before starting.

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL

During Execution

After EACH batch, you MUST invoke: → flutter-craft:flutter-verification (verify before continuing)

After All Tasks Complete

You MUST invoke: → flutter-craft:flutter-finishing (present completion options)

Remember

• Review plan critically first - Don't blindly execute
• Follow layer order - Domain → Data → Presentation
• Run flutter analyze per batch - Catch errors early
• Commit after each task - Atomic commits
• Report and wait - Don't continue without feedback
• Stop when blocked - Don't guess, ask
