What it does

Dart Package Maintenance is an agent skill from kevmoo/dash_skills. Guidelines for maintaining external Dart packages, covering versioning, publishing workflows, and pull request management. Use when updating Dart packages, preparing for a release, or managing collaborative changes in a repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Cross-platform mobile apps and Pull requests. It works with Dart. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Dart and Flutter ecosytem. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Updating Dart packages
  • Preparing for a release
  • Managing collaborative changes in a repository

Example prompts

  • “Use the dart-package-maintenance skill to guideline for maintaining external Dart packages, covering versioning, publishing workflows, and pull…”
  • “/dart-package-maintenance”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Preparation: Remove the -wip suffix from pubspec.yaml and
  2. Execution: Run dart pub publish (or flutter pub publish) and resolve
  3. Tagging: Create and push a git tag for the published version

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 397a703. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • dart
    • flutter
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Dart Package Maintenance loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 565 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Dart Package Maintenance

Guidelines for maintaining Dart packages in alignment with Dart team best practices.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when:

  • Updating Dart packages, preparing for a release, or managing collaborative changes in a repository.
  • Managing versioning, CHANGELOG.md synchronization, and publishing workflows.
  • Ensuring published packages comply with Dart team conventions.
When NOT to use (Abstention Guardrails)

Do NOT apply package maintenance version bumps or changelog updates when:

  • Internal / Private Packages: Packages marked publish_to: none in pubspec.yaml that are not published to pub.dev (e.g. application root packages or internal monorepo tooling).
  • Documentation or Skill-Only Changes: Pull requests that only modify markdown files, agent skills (SKILL.md), or repository documentation, as documentation updates do not alter the public package interface.
  • In-Flight PR Iterations: Intermediate commits on an active feature branch where the version already carries a -wip suffix. Do not bump the version on every commit.

Discovery

To find maintenance tasks or inconsistencies:

Consistency Checks

Ensure the latest version in CHANGELOG.md matches pubspec.yaml:

  • Compare the top header in CHANGELOG.md with the version: field in pubspec.yaml.

Versioning

Semantic Versioning
  • Major: Breaking changes.
  • Minor: New features (non-breaking API changes).
  • Patch: Bug fixes, documentation, or non-impacting changes.
  • Unstable packages: Use 0.major.minor+patch.
  • Recommendation: Aim for 1.0.0 as soon as the package is stable.
Pre-Edit Verification

  • Check Published Versions: Before modifying CHANGELOG.md or pubspec.yaml, ALWAYS check the currently released version (e.g., via git tag or pub.dev).

  • Do Not Amend Released Versions: Never add new entries to a version header that corresponds to a released tag.

  • Increment for New Changes: If the current version in pubspec.yaml matches a released tag, increment the version (e.g., usually to -wip) and create a new section in CHANGELOG.md.

    • Consistency: The CHANGELOG.md header must match the new pubspec.yaml version.

    • SemVer Guidelines:

      • Breaking Changes: Bump Major, reset Minor/Patch (e.g., 2.0.0-wip, 0.5.0-wip).
      • New Features: Bump Minor, reset Patch (e.g., 1.1.0-wip, 0.4.5-wip).
      • Bug Fixes: Bump Patch (e.g., 1.0.1-wip).
Show full SKILL.md (251 more words)Show less
Changelog Content
  • Focus on User Impact: Entries in CHANGELOG.md should focus on changes visible to or impacting the end-user (e.g., new features, bug fixes, breaking changes).
  • Omit Internal Changes: Do not include internal refactorings, test changes, or other modifications that do not affect the package's behavior or API for the user.
Work-in-Progress (WIP) Versions
  • Immediately after a publish, or on the first change after a publish, update pubspec.yaml and CHANGELOG.md with a -wip suffix (e.g., 1.1.0-wip).
  • This indicates the current state is not yet published.
Breaking Changes
  • Evaluate the impact on dependent packages and internal projects.
  • Consider running changes through internal presubmits if possible.
  • Prefer incremental rollouts (e.g., new behavior as opt-in) to minimize downstream breakage.

Publishing Process

  1. Preparation: Remove the -wip suffix from pubspec.yaml and CHANGELOG.md in a dedicated pull request.
  2. Execution: Run dart pub publish (or flutter pub publish) and resolve all warnings and errors.
  3. Tagging: Create and push a git tag for the published version:
    • For single-package repos: v1.2.3
    • For monorepos: package_name-v1.2.3
    • Example: git tag v1.2.3 && git push --tags

Pull Request Management

  • Commits: Each PR should generally correspond to a single squashed commit upon merging.
  • Shared History: Once a PR is open, avoid force pushing to the branch.
  • Conflict Resolution: Prefer merging main into the PR branch rather than rebasing to resolve conflicts. This preserves the review history and comments.
  • Reviewing: Add comments from the "Files changed" view to batch them.
  • Local Inspection: Use gh pr checkout <number> to inspect changes locally in your IDE.
