What it does
Restart App Integration is an agent skill from gabrimatic/restart_app. Integrate or troubleshoot Flutter app restarts with restartapp, including restart modes, results, saved data, web routes, desktop relaunches, and requests from background isolates.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Flutter, Dart and iOS. The repository describes itself as: A Flutter plugin to restart or relaunch Flutter apps with platform-specific behavior, including opt-in iOS Flutter engine restart. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps
Example prompts
- “/restart-app-integration”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e9f6582. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are dart and cmake).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Restart App Integration loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 726 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Flutter app restart integration
Basic usage
Import package:restart_app/restart_app.dart and call Restart.restartApp().
It returns Future<RestartResult>. There is no restart widget, initialization
method, or Restart.restart() API.
Use the default mode unless the app needs a particular restart method. Check
Restart.restartCapability() when presenting a choice of modes. Its flags
report platform support; they do not guarantee that a restart will succeed.
Web supports the default restart even though its three restart flags are false.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:restart_app/restart_app.dart';
Future<void> restartFromButton(BuildContext context) async {
final result = await Restart.restartApp();
if (!context.mounted || result.success) return;
ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(
SnackBar(
content: Text(result.message ?? result.code ?? 'Could not restart the app.'),
),
);
}State and errors
- If the app has unsaved changes that must survive, finish saving them through its existing storage code before restarting. Follow that storage API's durability guarantees. A failed save must not trigger a restart.
- A restart does not erase preferences, files, databases, or stored credentials. Do not rely on code after the restart call to finish essential work.
- Read
success,mode,code, andmessage. Success means the platform accepted the request. A later native failure can leave the old app running; inspect native logs when startup does not run again. - Platform errors return failed results.
MISSING_PLUGINmeans native registration is missing: fix registration and rebuild the app. If calling beforerunApp, initialize the Flutter binding before using the channel. - Disable repeated restart actions once a request starts. Keep them disabled
after acceptance; allow another attempt if the request fails. Check
context.mountedbefore updating UI after an await. Do not retry in a loop. - Overlapping requests return
RESTART_ALREADY_IN_PROGRESSon Android and desktop, orIOS_RESTART_ALREADY_IN_PROGRESSon iOS. Wait for the existing request rather than switching modes. - Send background-worker requests to the main isolate through a
SendPort/ReceivePort. Request iOS engine restart while the app is active.
Platform behavior
| Platform | Modes | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Android | platformDefault, process | Default relaunches the main activity. process or forceKill: true also ends the old process. Requires an attached activity and launch intent; Android TV and Fire TV launcher entries are supported. |
| iOS | platformDefault, flutterEngine, notificationFallback | Default and engine modes require AppDelegate configuration. Use the bundled restart-app-ios-engine-restart skill. Automatic full process restart is unavailable. |
| Web | platformDefault | Reloads the whole Flutter web app at the same browser URL by default. webOrigin selects a different destination. |
| macOS | platformDefault, process | Opens a new instance through NSWorkspace, then asks the old instance to quit. Both modes resolve to process. |
| Linux | platformDefault, process | Replaces the running program through execv while keeping its process ID. Both modes resolve to process. |
| Windows | platformDefault, process | Opens a new process through CreateProcessW and ends the old process. Preserves the command line. Both modes resolve to process. |
Unsupported modes return a failure. forceKill only affects Android.
Notification title and body only customize the explicit iOS notification mode;
they do not select it. Never switch to notification fallback automatically when
iOS engine setup is missing.
On macOS, a termination delegate can prevent the old instance from quitting. Windows MSIX/Store packaging can restrict standard process launching. Check restart behavior in the app's actual distribution format.

Web destinations
Without webOrigin, or with an empty value, the full browser URL stays the
same, including path, query, and hash. The Flutter app starts again; its router
decides which screen to show. Restarting at /settings does not navigate to /.
- A hash route such as
#/homechanges the fragment and reloads. It adds a browser history entry if the fragment changes. - Full and relative URLs replace the current history entry. If the destination is the same document, it still reloads, including when its fragment changes or is removed.
- Relative URLs resolve against
document.baseURI, including an HTMLbaseelement./means the website root, not necessarily the Flutter app's root.
With path routing, verify that the server serves the app at the destination URL.
Linux arguments
To keep command-line arguments, edit the app's existing
linux/runner/main.cc (linux/main.cc in older Flutter projects). Include
<restart_app/restart_app_plugin.h> and call
restart_app_plugin_store_argv(argc, argv) inside main, before starting Flutter.
Keep the existing runner code.
Flutter's generated plugin rules link the runner to restart_app_plugin.
For custom plugin wiring, ensure this link exists in linux/CMakeLists.txt,
after include(flutter/generated_plugins.cmake):
target_link_libraries(${BINARY_NAME} PRIVATE restart_app_plugin)Without this setup, the restarted app receives only the executable argument.
Verification
For Dart tests, mock MethodChannel('restart') and its restartApp and
restartCapability methods. Check request options and error UI, then clear the
mock handlers. Run the app separately to verify actual restarts.
Save a launch marker, request a restart, and confirm that startup runs again, saved data remains, and temporary Dart state resets. On iOS, also check plugin calls and platform views after repeated engine restarts.
