At a glance

Upgrades every package under ./examples to the repository's latest signals version, runs pub upgrade on third-party dependencies, and fixes the resulting analysis problems.

  • Works in 3 steps: Run the Automated Update Script → Bootstrap the Workspace → Analyze and Fix Code Issues
  • Bumping the signals version across all example apps
  • SKILL.md covers Objective and Workflow
  • Runs Dart scripts from its folder; calls dart and flutter

What it does

This skill keeps the Dart and Flutter examples in the signals.dart repository current. Its helper script, scripts/update_dependencies.dart, reads the current signals package version from packages/signals/pubspec.yaml, finds every pubspec.yaml under ./examples recursively, sets the signals constraint to the exact latest version, and runs flutter pub upgrade or dart pub upgrade in each example.

Afterward the agent links the workspace with melos bootstrap and runs melos run analyze to find breaking changes, deprecations and warnings. For deprecations, such as the move from the v6 to the v7 API, it inspects the file, follows the migration rules, refactors to non-deprecated APIs, and keeps going until analysis passes cleanly.

When your agent uses it

  • Bumping the signals version across all example apps
  • Refreshing stale lockfiles with a full pub upgrade
  • Fixing deprecation warnings after a package upgrade

Example prompts

  • “Update all the examples to the latest signals version and fix anything that breaks.”
  • “Run the dependency update script, then bootstrap and analyze the workspace.”
  • “Fix the deprecation warnings that appeared in the examples after the v7 upgrade.”

Requirements

  • The Dart or Flutter SDK
  • melos

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Run the Automated Update Script
  2. Bootstrap the Workspace
  3. Analyze and Fix Code Issues

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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Dart), which the agent can run.

    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

Update Dart Examples Dependencies loads about 514 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 235 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~514

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Update all the `./examples` dependencies to the latest repository/third-party versions and fix any compiler or analysis issues.

Update Examples Dependencies & Code Fixes

This skill provides a systematic and automated workflow to update dependencies in all Dart/Flutter examples located in the ./examples directory and fix any code compilation, deprecation, or linter warnings that arise.

Objective

Ensure all ./examples packages are upgraded to target the latest core package versions (e.g. signals) of the repository, run a full pub upgrade on third-party dependencies to prevent stale locks, and repair any broken code or deprecation warnings under analysis.

Workflow

1. Run the Automated Update Script

Locate the helper script at scripts/update_dependencies.dart or within this skill's scripts directory:

bash
dart run .agents/skills/update-examples-dependencies/scripts/update_dependencies.dart

This script will:

  • Read packages/signals/pubspec.yaml to detect the current package version of signals.
  • Recursively find all pubspec.yaml files inside ./examples/.
  • Replace the signals dependency version constraint with the exact latest version constraint (e.g., ^6.3.1).
  • Execute flutter pub upgrade or dart pub upgrade on each example package.
2. Bootstrap the Workspace

After upgrading individual package pubspecs, link the workspace packages and ensure they resolve successfully by running:

bash
melos bootstrap
3. Analyze and Fix Code Issues

With all packages upgraded, run static analysis to check for breaking changes or new warnings:

bash
melos run analyze

For any deprecations (such as v6 to v7 API transitions or external package changes):

  • Inspect the file and reference standard migration rules (e.g., migration-6-to-7 if migrating to v7).
  • Refactor the code in place to use modern, non-deprecated APIs.
  • Fix all compiler errors and static analysis warnings until melos run analyze succeeds cleanly.
