Add flutter-app-runtime rule for proactive hot reload - #220
Conversation
dart-lang/ai#498 Add proactive Flutter hot reload rules (flutter-app-runtime.md and flutter-app-runtime.mdc) to automate the hot reload and runtime error verification loop when editing Dart and Flutter files. Problem: The sub-second Stateful Hot Reload cycle is the cornerstone of the Flutter development experience. However, during AI-driven workflows: - Out-of-Sync Execution: Agents modify source code on disk but fail to update the active session, leaving the simulator/device screen stale. - Friction in Context Switching: Users must exit the chat interface to manually initiate a reload via the CLI ('r') or IDE tooling. - Latent Feedback on Regressions: Build failures and layout issues (e.g., RenderFlex overflows) are only revealed after manual intervention, leading to fragmented multi-turn debugging sessions.

Code Review
This pull request replaces the old hot reload rules with new proactive Flutter hot reload rules in rules/flutter-app-runtime.md and rules/flutter-app-runtime.mdc. The feedback suggests retaining the trigger: glob field in the frontmatter of the new rule file, and points out that the referenced flutter-app-runtime skill needs to be defined in resources/flutter_skills.yaml to ensure it can be resolved properly.

The previous rule file rules/hot_reload.md included trigger: glob in its frontmatter. If the rule parser requires this field to trigger the rule on glob matches, it should be retained in the new rules/flutter-app-runtime.md file.

| Whenever you edit or modify any `.dart` file in this project, adhere to the runtime management procedures in the `flutter-app-runtime` skill: | ||

The rule references the flutter-app-runtime skill, but this skill is currently not defined in resources/flutter_skills.yaml. Please make sure to define the flutter-app-runtime skill in resources/flutter_skills.yaml so that the skill can be generated and successfully resolved by the agent.
