Configure a flutter_deck presentation globally or per-slide — slide size and aspect ratio, transitions, backgrounds (solid/gradient/image/custom), headers, footers, progress indicators (solid or gradient), keyboard controls and custom shortcuts, the marker tool, speaker notes, image preloading, template overrides, and per-slide overrides. Use this skill when defining FlutterDeckApp's configuration, FlutterDeckConfiguration, or FlutterDeckSlideConfiguration — when adding routes, titles, speaker notes, or steps; choosing a transition; hiding the footer or header on a specific slide; customising the marker, progress indicator, or keyboard shortcuts; or replacing a built-in template — even when the user only says "configure my deck", "change the slide layout", or "make the title slide different".
Create, register, or extend flutter_deck plugins by subclassing FlutterDeckPlugin to add presenter-menu controls, share state across slides, hook into presentation lifecycle events, or subscribe to the FlutterDeck instance's controls/drawer/marker/theme/localization notifiers. Use this skill when building autoplay toggles, custom laser pointers, clear-screen tools, PDF/PPTX exporters, global InheritedWidget/Provider wrappers, looking up another plugin via maybeGetPlugin, or wiring built-in plugins like FlutterDeckAutoplayPlugin, FlutterDeckPdfExportPlugin, FlutterDeckPptxExportPlugin, or FlutterDeckWebClient — even when the user only says "add a custom toolbar button" or "share state between slides" without mentioning the word "plugin".
Scaffold a new flutter_deck presentation from an empty Flutter project — wiring up FlutterDeckApp with slides, light/dark themes, speaker info, plugins, the web client for presenter view, and localization — and laying out a scalable lib/slides/ + barrel-file architecture with optional plugins/, shortcuts/, templates/, l10n/, theme.dart, widgets/, and embedded packages/ directories. Use this skill when starting a new presentation, converting the default Flutter counter app into a deck, restructuring an ad-hoc presentation, or wiring up the entry point in main.dart — even when the user only says "set up flutter_deck", "build a slide deck app", or "make a Flutter presentation" without naming the architecture.
Create slides in a flutter_deck presentation using the eight built-in factories — title, image, split, quote, bigFact, blank, template, and custom. Three patterns are idiomatic: subclass FlutterDeckSlideWidget, call a FlutterDeckSlide.<factory>(configuration: …) constructor inline inside FlutterDeckApp.slides, or wrap any existing widget with the Widget.withSlideConfiguration extension. Use this skill when adding a new slide, picking the right layout for a topic, refactoring raw widgets into slides, building sequential reveals with FlutterDeckSlideStepsBuilder or FlutterDeckSlideStepsListener, or wiring routes, preloadImages, speaker notes, and steps — even when the user only says "add a slide" or "show this widget as a slide".
Style flutter_deck presentations using FlutterDeckThemeData with lightTheme/darkTheme/themeMode, FlutterDeckTextTheme typography slots (display, header, title, subtitle, bodyLarge/Medium/Small), per-slide theme overrides via the slide-level theme: parameter and copyWith on template slots (titleSlideTheme, splitSlideTheme, quoteSlideTheme, imageSlideTheme, bigFactSlideTheme, slideTheme), and component theming for headers, footers, bullet lists, code highlight, and speaker info. Use this skill when establishing brand identity, switching light/dark modes, restyling a single slide, overriding sub-component styles, choosing typography, or auditing 4.5:1 contrast — even when the user only says "change the colors" or "make this slide pop".
