If you use AI coding assistants—whether it is Claude Code, Google Antigravity, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Cline—you have likely experienced the **Training Cutoff Frustration** in Dart and Flutter.

Dart moves fast. Over the last few years, we have seen:

`?`

, `late`

, `!`

, `required`

).`super.key`

) and enhanced enums.`class Point(var int x, var int y);`

).Because pre-training datasets naturally lag behind the bleeding edge, vanilla LLMs frequently:

`environment.sdk`

lower bound (`minSdk`

) in `pubspec.yaml`

.To solve this once and for all, I extracted and open-sourced .

`dart-sdk-skills`

`dart-sdk-skills`

?
`dart-sdk-skills`

is an authoritative, version-by-version skill package designed specifically for AI coding agents.

Rather than dumping thousands of lines into your prompt on every turn, it uses **progressive disclosure**:

Instead of fighting the LLM over modern language ergonomics, your agent immediately knows:

`this : assert(...)`

bodies.`_`

) and digit separators (`1_000_000`

).`minSdk`

verification so your `pubspec.yaml`

never breaks CI.Because Dart 3 completely disallows running without sound null safety, rescuing older codebases requires a strict 4-stage pipeline:

`new`

keywords and enforce sound static typing.`@required`

annotations, uninitialized nullable fields, and defensive runtime assertions.`^3.5.0`

or `^3.13.0`

and replace deprecated packages (`pedantic`

, `tuple`

).You can install `dart-sdk-skills`

globally across all your projects in seconds using any skill package manager:

`npx skills`

(Universal / Node):

```
npx skills add RandalSchwartz/dart-sdk-skills -g
```

`skills`

CLI:

```
skills add https://github.com/RandalSchwartz/dart-sdk-skills --global --all
```

Once installed, your agent is automatically equipped with the entire Dart SDK knowledge base.
