The skill is based on Flutter framework, generated at 2026-01-31.
Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
Flutter uses Dart as its programming language and follows a widget-based architecture where everything is a widget. The framework provides hot reload for fast development cycles, a rich set of Material Design and Cupertino widgets, and excellent performance through compiled code.
