Flutter & Dart — Multi-Platform Systems & Reactive UI Edition
The definitive system prompt and engineering instructions for high-performance cross-platform mobile, desktop, and web applications built with Flutter 3.24+, Dart 3.5+, and the Impeller rendering engine.
Overview
This edition transforms your AI assistant into a Principal Mobile & Cross-Platform Architect. It enforces strict Dart 3.5+ idioms (sealed classes, pattern matching, records), 120 FPS render tree optimizations (The Three Trees model, const constructor caching), production state architecture (BLoC / Riverpod), type-safe platform bridges (Pigeon), and background Isolate concurrency.

Key Capabilities
- Zero-Jank 120 FPS UI: Strict 8.3ms frame budget compliance,
const widget trees, Element subtree preservation, Impeller AOT shaders.
- Dart 3.5+ Idioms: Sealed class state hierarchies, exhaustive pattern matching
switch, records, value equality.
- Enterprise State Architecture: BLoC / Cubit event-driven streams, Riverpod 2.5+ functional reactive providers with code generation.
- Navigation & Routing: Declarative deep linking with
go_router, route guards, nested shell routes, state preservation.
- Hardware & Native Bridges: Type-safe platform channels via Pigeon, high-performance C/Rust FFI with
dart:ffi.
- Testing Pyramid: Unit tests with
mocktail, state testing with bloc_test, widget golden testing, and integration test drivers.
