Give your AI Agent eyes and hands inside your Flutter app.

Flutter Skill 🚀

Give your AI Agent eyes and hands inside your Flutter app.

Flutter Skill is a bridge that connects AI Agents (like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) directly to a running Flutter application. It creates a bi-directional control channel allowing agents to:

• 🕵️‍♂️ Inspect the UI structure (Accessibility Tree).
• 👆 Act on widgets (Tap, Scroll, Enter Text).
• 📸 Verify visual changes (Screenshots).
• 🧩 Zero Config setup (Auto-injects dependencies).

---

✨ Features

• Zero-Config Automation: Just run the launch command. The skill automatically adds dependencies and injects initialization code into main.dart.
• Universal Compatibility: Works as a CLI tool (for Claude Code) or an MCP Server (for Cursor/Windsurf).
• Resilient Connection: Uses Dart VM Service Protocol to communicate reliably with Debug/Profile builds.
• Smart Element Resolution: Finds widgets by reliability keys, text content, or semantic labels.

🚀 Quick Start

You don't need to manually edit your code. The skill handles it for you.

1. Launch with Auto-Setup

Run the launch script pointing to your project directory:

dart run bin/launch.dart /path/to/your/flutter_project

What happens automatically:

1. Checks for flutter_skill dependency. If missing, adds it.
2. Checks main.dart for initialization. If missing, injects FlutterSkillBinding.ensureInitialized().
3. Runs flutter run.
4. Captures the VM Service URI and saves it to .flutter_skill_uri.

2. Let the Agent Take Over

Once launched, your Agent has full control using the provided tools.

CLI Mode (e.g. Claude Code):

# Inspect the screen
dart run bin/inspect.dart

# Tap a button
dart run bin/act.dart tap "login_button"

MCP Mode (e.g. Cursor):

• Configure the MCP server in your editor settings.
• unique tools like connect_app, get_layout, tap become available to the Agent.

🛠 Tools Reference

Tool	Description
launch_app	Zero-config launch & auto-instrumentation.
connect_app	Connects to an already running app via URI.
get_layout	Dumps the current UI hierarchy (Semantics/Widget tree).
tap	Taps a widget by Key, Text, or Semantics Label.
enter_text	Enters text into a focused input field.
scroll	Scrolls to a specific item.
get_logs	Fetches recent console logs from the app.

🧪 Development & Verification

We include a Sandbox Environment to verify the skill without a physical device or emulator.

# Run the full integration test suite against a Mock App
dart run tests/integration_test.dart

This verifies:

• Dependency injection logic.
• Code patching logic.
• VM Service protocol negotiation.
• Command execution.
