What it does

Signals Hooks is an agent skill from rodydavis/signals.dart. Comprehensive reactive state hooks for integration with flutterhooks.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 44 other files (for example `CONTEXT.md`, `hooks/CONTEXT.md` and `hooks/use-async-computed.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Flutter. The repository describes itself as: Reactive programming made simple for Dart and Flutter. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Cross-platform mobile apps

Example prompts

“/signals-hooks”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81d64e8. 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).
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

Signals Hooks loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 486 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.1k

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.

Reactive State Hooks (`signals_hooks`)

This skill covers orchestrating reactive state signals within flutter_hooks codebases utilizing the signals_hooks package.

🚀 Getting Started

dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_hooks/flutter_hooks.dart';
import 'package:signals_hooks/signals_hooks.dart';

class ExampleWidget extends HookWidget {
  const ExampleWidget({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // 1. Create a reactive signal managed by the widget's hook lifecycle
    final count = useSignal(0);
    
    // 2. Derive a lazy, memoized computed value
    final doubleCount = useComputed(() => count.value * 2);
    
    // 3. Register reactive side effects automatically bound to layout phases
    useSignalEffect(() {
      debugPrint('count changed: $count, double: $doubleCount');
    });

    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Text('Count: $count (Double: $doubleCount)'),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: () => count.value++,
        child: const Icon(Icons.add),
      ),
    );
  }
}

[!TIP] All signals, derived computed states, and side effects created inside standard HookWidget elements using the use... methods automatically teardown and dispose when the widget unmounts. This completely eliminates memory leaks or manual resource disposal.

📊 Comprehensive Hooks Reference Directory

The following table summarizes all available reactive hooks in the signals_hooks package. Click on any hook's name to view its detailed documentation, signature, best practices, and code examples.

Hook	Return Type	Description	Lifecycle / Teardown Behavior
useSignal	`Signal<T>`	Creates a mutable reactive signal managed by the hook lifecycle.	Disposes the signal on widget unmount.
useComputed	`Computed<T>`	Creates a derived, cached read-only computed signal.	Disposes the computed signal on widget unmount.
useSignalEffect	`void`	Registers a reactive side effect bound to the widget mount lifecycle.	Cancels the effect subscription on widget unmount.
useExistingSignal	`Signal<T>`	Binds an external signal to rebuild when it mutates.	Detaches subscription on unmount (does not dispose signal).
useSignalValue	`T`	Directly reads and subscribes to the value of an external signal.	Detaches subscription on unmount (does not dispose signal).
useLazySignal	`Signal<T>`	Creates a new lazy Signal initialized late, managed by hook state.	Disposes the lazy signal on widget unmount.
useLinkedSignal	`LinkedSignal<T>`	Creates a new LinkedSignal that resets its value when its source changes.	Disposes the linked signal on widget unmount.
useFutureSignal	`FutureSignal<T>`	Creates a reactive future signal with auto-disposal and race protection.	Disposes the future signal on widget unmount.
useStreamSignal	`StreamSignal<T>`	Creates a reactive stream signal with key-based resubscription.	Cancels stream subscription and disposes signal on unmount.
useAsyncSignal	`AsyncSignal<T>`	Wraps an asynchronous task state inside a manageable AsyncSignal.	Disposes the async signal on widget unmount.
useAsyncComputed	`AsyncSignal<T>`	Creates an async computed signal re-evaluated on dependency change.	Disposes the async signal on widget unmount.
useValueNotifierToSignal	`Signal<T>`	Bridges a standard Flutter ValueNotifier to a mutable reactive Signal.	Detaches subscription on unmount (does not dispose).
useValueListenableToSignal	`ReadonlySignal<T>`	Bridges a standard Flutter ValueListenable to a read-only Signal.	Detaches subscription on unmount (does not dispose).
useListSignal	`ListSignal<T>`	Creates a reactive list with deep item-level mutation tracking.	Disposes the list signal on widget unmount.
useSetSignal	`SetSignal<T>`	Creates a reactive set with deep element-level mutation tracking.	Disposes the set signal on widget unmount.
useMapSignal	`MapSignal<K, V>`	Creates a reactive map with deep key-value mutation tracking.	Disposes the map signal on widget unmount.
useIterableSignal	`IterableSignal<T>`	Creates a reactive iterable with element-level mutation tracking.	Disposes the iterable signal on widget unmount.
useTrackedSignal	`TrackedSignal<T>`	Creates a tracked signal remembering its historical value state.	Disposes the tracked signal on widget unmount.
useQueueSignal	`QueueSignal<T>`	Creates a reactive queue for FIFO collection management.	Disposes the queue signal on widget unmount.
useChangeStackSignal	`ChangeStackSignal<T>`	Creates a change-stack signal for robust undo/redo history tracking.	Disposes the change-stack signal on widget unmount.

🧪 Testing State Hooks

To verify hook state components, use flutter_test along with a HookBuilder to execute the hooks safely under test frameworks:

dart

testWidgets('useSignal test', (tester) async {
  late Signal<int> state;
  await tester.pumpWidget(
    HookBuilder(builder: (context) {
      state = useSignal(42);
      return Text('$state', textDirection: TextDirection.ltr);
    }),
  );

  expect(state.value, 42);
  expect(find.text('42'), findsOneWidget);

  state.value = 43;
  await tester.pumpAndSettle();

  expect(find.text('43'), findsOneWidget);
});
