What it does

Signals Lint is an agent skill from rodydavis/signals.dart. Standardized compiler diagnostics, static analysis lints, and automated IDE quick-fixes.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `CONTEXT.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Linting and formatting, Static analysis and SAST and 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.

Workflow steps

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 yaml).
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 Lint loads about 712 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~712

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.

signals_lint Tooling & Rules

This skill covers working with static code analysis, custom compiler warning diagnostics, and automated quick-fixes in the signals.dart ecosystem.

🚀 Activation & Setup

Ensure the plugin is active in your project to enable real-time IDE diagnostics and fixes:

yaml

# pubspec.yaml
dev_dependencies:
  custom_lint: ^0.8.1
  signals_lint: ^7.0.0

yaml

# analysis_options.yaml
analyzer:
  plugins:
    - custom_lint

🛡️ Lint Rules Reference

1. `signals_avoid_create_in_build_method`

Flags instances where a signal or computed variable is created inside a Flutter build method.

Problem: Creating state during build causes state to reset on every rebuild.
Solution: Move the creation to the class fields or initialize inside a state lifecycle hook.

2. `signals_avoid_deprecated_watch_extension`

Flags uses of deprecated BuildContext.watch() and BuildContext.unwatch() extensions.

Problem: Watch extensions can cause broad stateful widget lifecycle overhead.
Solution: Use localized SignalBuilder or inherit from SignalWidget/SignalStatefulWidget.

3. `signals_avoid_deprecated_signals_mixin`

Flags usage of deprecated with SignalsMixin mixins on StatefulWidget states.

Problem: Inherits stateful widget tracking hooks unnecessarily.
Solution: Inherit from SignalStatefulWidget instead.

4. `signals_prefer_named_builder`

Enforces named builder: callbacks in SignalBuilder and Watch elements instead of positional arguments.

Reason: Guarantees standard API parameters and readability.

5. `signals_prefer_unified_options`

Flags direct creator configuration arguments (e.g. autoDispose: true).

Solution: Bundle configuration properties under unified options classes (e.g., options: SignalOptions(autoDispose: true)).

💡 Automated IDE Code Assists (Quick-fixes)

Place your cursor on the relevant class name or widget instantiation inside your IDE to reveal these automatic assists via the quick-fix menu (Cmd+. or Alt+Enter):

WrapWithSignalBuilder: Wraps any widget expression inside SignalBuilder(builder: (context) => ...).
ConvertStatelessToSignalWidget: Refactors a standard StatelessWidget into a SignalWidget instantly.
ConvertStatefulToSignalStatefulWidget: Refactors a standard StatefulWidget to a SignalStatefulWidget.
MigrateSignalsMixinToSignalStatefulWidget: Strips the legacy SignalsMixin and converts the class structure to SignalStatefulWidget.
MigrateWatchToSignalBuilder: Converts legacy Watch(...) instances into clean SignalBuilder widgets.
