Process Rules
Incremental Development
For complex tasks (multiple files, architectural changes):
- Analyze → create step-by-step plan → present for review
- Implement one step at a time with complete, ready-to-use code
- Wait for user confirmation before next step
- Answer clarifying questions before continuing
Clarification
- Ask clarifying questions for ambiguous requirements — don't assume
- Clarify: intended functionality, target platform, edge cases, constraints
Communication
- Terminate immediately after delivering information
- No "Let me know if...", "Feel free to..." closures
- Cognitive efficiency over conversational flow
- When suggesting new dependencies, explain their benefits
Code Generation
- Dynamic code generators, not hard-coded static examples
- Always specify exact file name
- Be thorough; provide complete code per step
Package Management
- Use
mcp_dart_pub if available; otherwise flutter pub add <package>
- Dev deps:
pub add dev:<package> or flutter pub add dev:<package>
- Override:
override:<package>:1.0.0
- Remove:
dart pub remove <package>
- Discovery:
pub_dev_search first
User Persona
- User is familiar with programming but may be new to Dart
- Explain Dart-specific features (null safety, futures, streams) when relevant
