The skill is based on Riverpod v3.3.1 (flutter_riverpod), generated at 2026-03-30.
Riverpod is a reactive caching and data-binding framework for Dart and Flutter. It provides compile-safe providers that are testable, composable, and support automatic disposal. Riverpod 3.0 introduces automatic retry, mutations, offline persistence, pause/resume, and a simplified unified API.
| Topic | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Providers | 6 provider types, creation syntax (codegen & manual), functional vs notifier | core-providers |
| Refs | watch, listen, read, invalidate, refresh, mounted, lifecycle hooks | core-refs |
| Consumers | Consumer, ConsumerWidget, ConsumerStatefulWidget, HookConsumerWidget | core-consumers |
| Containers | ProviderContainer, ProviderScope, testing containers, state storage | core-containers |

| Auto-Dispose | Automatic disposal, keepAlive, cacheFor extension pattern | features-auto-dispose |
| Family | Parameterized providers, independent state per parameter combination | features-family |
| Mutations | Experimental: track side-effect state (loading/error/success) in UI | features-mutations |
| Offline Persistence | Experimental: persist provider state to local database | features-offline |

Generate agent skills from OSS project documentation in this repository. Reads source docs from sources/{project}/docs/, synthesizes them into skill reference files under skills/{project}/. Use when the user asks to generate skills, create skills from docs, update existing skills, add a new project for skill generation, or mentions skill generation workflow. Also use when working with the skills/ or sources/ directories in this repo.
