What it does

Flutter Drift is an agent skill from MADTeacher/mad-agents-skills. Implement, fix, review, migrate, test, or debug Drift persistence in Flutter apps using SQLite, driftflutter, type-safe Dart queries, generated tables, StreamBuilder or Riverpod StreamProvider UI, write operations, transactions, schema migrations, web assets, isolate sharing, and local database testing. Use when a Flutter task mentions drift, local database storage, SQLite, reactive database streams, CRUD, schemaVersion, buildrunner, driftdev make-migrations, migration tests, or Flutter-specific database setup…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/flutter-ui.md`, `references/migrations.md` and `references/queries.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Flutter, Dart and SQLite. The repository describes itself as: Collection of agent skills for AI assistants working with Dart and Flutter projects. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A Flutter task mentions drift
  • Local database storage
  • Reactive database streams
  • Driftdev make-migrations

Example prompts

  • “/flutter-drift”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect the app before editing
  2. Add or verify dependencies with package commands instead of hardcoding versions
  3. Create or update the database entry point
  4. Keep Drift calls scoped to the database object
  5. Generate code after changing Drift declarations
  6. For schema changes in an existing app, use Drift's guided migration workflow
  7. Validate before finishing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2fb67e3. 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:

    • dart
    • flutter

    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

Flutter Drift loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 141 tokens; SKILL.md has 702 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~141
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

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 Drift

Use this skill to add or repair Drift-based local persistence in Flutter apps. The skill is an operating workflow: inspect the target app first, choose only the relevant reference files, implement with current Drift APIs, and validate generated code.

Core Workflow

  1. Inspect the app before editing:
    • Check pubspec.yaml, existing database files, build.yaml, state management package, target platforms, and tests.
    • Prefer the app's current architecture and naming over the examples in this skill.
  2. Add or verify dependencies with package commands instead of hardcoding versions:
    • dart pub add drift drift_flutter path_provider dev:drift_dev dev:build_runner
    • Add provider or flutter_riverpod only when the app already uses it or the user asks for that integration.
  3. Create or update the database entry point:
    • Define tables in Dart or .drift files.
    • Add the tables to @DriftDatabase.
    • Open Flutter databases with driftDatabase from package:drift_flutter/drift_flutter.dart unless the project needs a custom executor.
  4. Keep Drift calls scoped to the database object:
    • Use database.select(database.todoItems), database.into(database.todoItems), database.update(database.todoItems), and database.delete(database.todoItems) from widgets, services, and repositories.
    • Use bare select(todoItems) only inside GeneratedDatabase subclasses or DatabaseAccessor classes where the methods and table getters are in scope.
  5. Generate code after changing Drift declarations:
    • Run dart run build_runner build.
    • Treat generator errors as blockers, not optional cleanup.
  6. For schema changes in an existing app, use Drift's guided migration workflow:
    • Configure drift_dev databases in build.yaml.
    • Run dart run drift_dev make-migrations before and after schema changes as needed.
    • Bump schemaVersion, write generated step-by-step migrations, and run generated migration tests.
  7. Validate before finishing:
    • Run dart format on edited Dart files.
    • Run flutter analyze or dart analyze for the package.
    • Run targeted tests, including generated migration tests when migrations changed.

Resource Routing

  • Read references/setup.md when adding Drift, opening a database, configuring web support, or sharing a database across isolates.
  • Read references/tables.md when defining tables, columns, defaults, keys, indexes, constraints, generated columns, or strict tables.
  • Read references/queries.md when implementing selects, filters, sorting, pagination, joins, aggregations, subqueries, custom columns, or unions.
  • Read references/writes.md when implementing inserts, updates, deletes, upserts, companions, transactions, or batch operations.
  • Read references/streams.md when implementing reactive Drift streams, StreamBuilder, StreamProvider, custom select streams, table update listeners, or manual stream invalidation.
  • Read references/migrations.md when schemaVersion, existing user data, build.yaml, make-migrations, generated schema files, or migration tests are involved.
  • Read references/flutter-ui.md when wiring Drift data into Flutter widgets with Provider, Riverpod, StreamBuilder, search, filtering, pagination, or user-facing loading and error states.

Required API Rules

  • Do not call select(database.table) as a top-level function from a widget. Use database.select(database.table) outside database classes.
  • Do not use watch(...), todoUpdates(...), or notifyTableUpdates(...). Use customSelect(...).watch(), tableUpdates(...), and notifyUpdates(...).
  • Do not call delete(table).go(id). Add a where clause and then call go(), or use generated table extension helpers if the project already uses them.
  • Do not use batch.updateAll(...) or pass raw ids to batch.delete(...). Use batch.update(..., where: ...), batch.delete(...) with an insertable row, or batch.deleteWhere(...).
  • Do not mix Provider and Riverpod APIs. Provider.of<AppDatabase>(context) belongs to provider; Provider<AppDatabase>((ref) { ... }) and AsyncValue.when(...) belong to Riverpod.
  • Do not bump schemaVersion without a migration plan for existing databases.
  • Do not rely on raw SQLite writes when UI streams must update. Use Drift write APIs or call notifyUpdates with explicit TableUpdate metadata.

Fallbacks

  • If package downloads are blocked, update source files and leave exact dart pub add or flutter pub add commands for the user, then state that dependency resolution was not validated.
  • If a project cannot run build_runner, do not hand-write generated *.g.dart files. Fix source declarations and report the generator blocker.
  • If migration state is unclear, stop before changing schemaVersion; ask for the current released schema history or database files.
  • If web support is required but sqlite3.wasm and drift_worker.js are missing, add the code path and explicitly report the required web assets.

Validation Checklist

  • pubspec.yaml contains Drift runtime and generator dependencies.
  • Database files have valid part directives, table declarations, @DriftDatabase, constructor, and schemaVersion.
  • All query and write examples are scoped to the correct database/accessor context.
  • Generated code was rebuilt with build_runner.
  • Flutter UI examples handle loading, empty, error, and data states without treating AsyncValue as a List.
  • Migrations changed only with generated schema snapshots, step-by-step migration code, and tests.
  • flutter analyze or dart analyze passes for the edited package, or any remaining analyzer failure is reported with the blocker.
