AI rules for Flutter and Dart

This guide covers how you can leverage AI rules to streamline your Flutter and Dart development.

AI-powered editors use rules files to provide context and instructions to an underlying LLM. These files help you:

• Customize AI behavior to your team's needs.
• Enforce project best practices for code style and design.
• Provide critical project context to the AI.

Many AI environments support rules files to guide LLM behavior. Here are some common examples and their corresponding rule file names:

You can adapt our Flutter and Dart rules template for your specific environment. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Download the Flutter and Dart rules template: flutter-rules-template.md

2. In an LLM like Gemini, attach the flutter-rules-template.md file that you downloaded in the last step.

3. Provide a prompt to reformat the file for your desired editor.

   Example prompt:

   text

   Convert the attached flutter-rules-template.txt file
   into a guidelines.md file for JetBrains IDE. Make sure
   to use the styles required for a guidelines.md file.

4. Review the LLM's output and make any necessary adjustments.

5. Follow your environment's instructions to add the new rules file. This may involve adding to an existing file or creating a new one.

6. Verify that your AI assistant is using the new rules to guide its responses.
