Agentic Coding Toolkit

Knowledge Loading

ACT loads Flutter/Dart knowledge from /act-flutter-development so the AI can create Specs, review requirements, create Work Items, and write code with the right architectural guidance.

Most of the time, you do not need to think about this directly. For Flutter/Dart work, use the paired -flutter workflow skills so the agent starts from Flutter-aware defaults.

What ACT knowledge includes

Section titled “What ACT knowledge includes”
  • Official rules - Flutter team coding rules from the official rules file
  • Breaking changes - recent Dart, Flutter, and Riverpod changes so the AI avoids outdated APIs
  • Principles - architectural guidance such as YAGNI/KISS, visible errors, state derivation, safe secret handling, and resource disposal
  • Patterns - recommended Flutter and Dart implementation patterns for layout, enums, switch expressions, theming, logging, responsiveness, accessibility, and more
  • Aliases - Flutter and build runner shell aliases used by ACT guidance

The underlying skill also includes setup references for topics such as Riverpod, Sentry, flavors, env files, and constants, but those setup guides are outside the main knowledge-loading modes above.

Use the Flutter workflow path

Section titled “Use the Flutter workflow path”

The plain workflow skills are platform-agnostic. For Flutter/Dart projects or tasks, use the Flutter/Dart path instead:

Terminal window
/act-interview-flutter
/act-create-spec-flutter
/new
/act-refine-spec-flutter <Spec>
/new
/act-create-issues-flutter <Spec>
/new
/act-implement-flutter <Work Item or Spec>

Use this when you are following the standard Interview -> Create Spec -> Create Work Items -> Implement workflow for Flutter/Dart work.

Direct loading with /act-flutter-development

Section titled “Direct loading with /act-flutter-development”

Use /act-flutter-development when you want Flutter guidance directly, for example during free-form coding, code review, or before writing a Spec.

It can help with:

  • loading official rules
  • loading the lite or full knowledge sets
  • browsing a specific area such as patterns, principles, breaking changes, or setup guidance

Loading levels with /act-flutter-development

Section titled “Loading levels with /act-flutter-development”

Use one of these modes depending on how much guidance you want:

Terminal window
/act-flutter-development official
/act-flutter-development lite
/act-flutter-development full
  • official loads the official Flutter team coding guidelines only.
  • lite loads the smaller ACT Flutter knowledge set.
  • full loads the expanded ACT Flutter knowledge set for more complex work.

If the official rules file is missing, run /act-download-flutter-rules first.
