srik_cli

Flutter project scaffolder. Choose your architecture, design preset, gradients, and spacing — generate a runnable app in seconds.

What it does

Stop rebuilding the same folder structure for every new Flutter app. srik generates a fully wired project with the architecture and design system you choose.

Install

dart pub global activate srik_cli

Make sure ~/.pub-cache/bin is on your PATH.

Faster startup (optional)

Compile to a native binary for instant startup:

dart compile exe bin/srik.dart -o srik

Then move the srik binary onto your PATH.

Use

srik create my_app
cd my_app
flutter run

The interactive prompt lets you pick everything:

? Description           A new Flutter app
? Organization          com.example
? Architecture          Clean Architecture / MVVM / Feature-first / Simple
? Design preset         Material / Vibrant / Minimal
? Add gradient theme?   y/N
? Spacing scale         Compact / Normal / Spacious
? Brand color (hex)     #6200EE

Non-interactive

srik create my_app \
  --arch=mvvm \
  --design=vibrant \
  --gradient \
  --spacing=spacious \
  --brand=#FF5733 \
  --org=com.acme \
  --no-interactive

Architectures

Architecture	Structure
Clean	core/ + features/<name>/{data,domain,presentation}
MVVM	models/, views/, viewmodels/, services/
Feature-first	shared/ + features/<name>/ (flat per feature)
Simple	screens/, widgets/, models/, services/

All architectures come wired with Riverpod, go_router, and Dio.

Design presets

Preset	Look
Material	Google's Material 3 defaults
Vibrant	Saturated, modern startup style
Minimal	Low contrast, neutral, sharp corners

Every preset generates design tokens (app_colors, app_spacing, app_text_styles, app_radius, app_durations, app_theme) from your brand color. Add --gradient for an app_gradients file with brand-derived gradients.

Spacing scale (compact / normal / spacious) controls the density of the spacing tokens.

Commands

srik create <name>                # Create new project
srik add feature <name>           # Add a feature module (all architectures)
srik add screen <name> -f <feat>  # Add a screen to a feature (all architectures)
srik doctor                       # Check your environment
srik --version                    # Print version

Adding features

Keep scaffolding after creation — add adapts to your project's architecture:

cd my_app
srik add feature profile
srik add screen edit_profile --feature profile

Each add feature generates the structure appropriate to the project's architecture and updates srik.yaml.

Roadmap

v0.2.0 ships architecture choice, design customization, and add support for all four architectures. Coming next:

• Firebase integration (Auth, Firestore, FCM)
• State management options (Bloc, Provider, GetX)
• srik rename — rename a generated project in place

Why not very_good_cli or mason?

• very_good_cli forces Bloc + their opinionated structure
• mason is a generic template engine — you write all bricks yourself
• srik_cli ships ready-made, architecture-aware templates that boot a working app immediately
