How to use flutter-drift on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with node --version
›Active project directory where you want to add flutter-drift

Run the install command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/madteacher/mad-agents-skills --skill flutter-drift

Fetches flutter-drift from madteacher/mad-agents-skills and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────

│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf

│ ●Cursor(selected)

│ · Cursor · Aider · Continue

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/flutter-drift

Restart Cursor to activate flutter-drift. Access via /flutter-drift in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Use Cases

User Story & Requirements Generation

Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs

Example

Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios

✓

Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage

Competitive Analysis

Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps

Example

Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities

✓

Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days

Roadmap Prioritization

Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs

Example

Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

Quick Start

Add dependencies to pubspec.yaml:

dependencies: drift: ^2.30.0 drift_flutter: ^0.2.8 path_provider: ^2.1.5 dev_dependencies: drift_dev: ^2.30.0 build_runner: ^2.10.4

Define database:

@DriftDatabase(tables: [TodoItems]) class AppDatabase extends _$AppDatabase { AppDatabase([QueryExecutor? e]) : super( e ?? driftDatabase( name: 'app_db', native: const DriftNativeOptions( databaseDirectory: getApplicationSupportDirectory, ), web: DriftWebOptions( sqlite3Wasm: Uri.parse('sqlite3.wasm'), driftWorker: Uri.parse('drift_worker.js'), ), ), ); @override int get schemaVersion => 1; }

Run code generator:

dart run build_runner build

Common Patterns

Reactive Todo List with StreamBuilder

class TodoList extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { final database = Provider.of<AppDatabase>(context); return StreamBuilder<List<TodoItem>>( stream: select(database.todoItems).watch(), builder: (context, snapshot) { final todos = snapshot.data ?? []; return ListView.builder( itemCount: todos.length, itemBuilder: (context, index) { final todo = todos[index]; return ListTile( title: Text(todo.title), trailing: Checkbox( value: todo.isCompleted, onChanged: (value) { database.update(database.todoItems).replace( TodoItem( id: todo.id, title: todo.title, isCompleted: value ?? false, ), ); }, ), ); }, ); }, ); } }

Add Item with Form

Future<void> showAddTodoDialog(BuildContext context) async { final controller = TextEditingController(); final database = Provider.of<AppDatabase>(context); await showDialog( context: context, builder: (context) { return AlertDialog( title: const Text('Add Todo'), content: TextField( controller: controller, decoration: const InputDecoration(labelText: 'Title'), ), actions: [ TextButton( onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context), child: const Text('Cancel'), ), TextButton( onPressed: () async { if (controller.text.isNotEmpty) { await database.into(database.todoItems).insert( TodoItemsCompanion.insert(title: controller.text), ); if (context.mounted) { Navigator.pop(context); } } }, child: const Text('Add'), ), ], ); }, ); controller.dispose(); }

Provider Setup

final databaseProvider = Provider<AppDatabase>((ref) { final database = AppDatabase(✓ Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster Stakeholder Communication Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations Example Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement ✓Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead Implementation Guide Prerequisites ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client ›Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.) ›Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.) ›Stakeholder contact information and communication channels Time Estimate 30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements Steps 1Install product management skill 2Start with user story generation for known feature 3Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors 4Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring 5Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback 6Build template library for recurring PM tasks 7Share effective prompts with product team Common Pitfalls ⚠Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing ⚠Accepting user stories without involving engineering team ⚠Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment ⚠Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style ⚠Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements Best Practices ✓ Do +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition ✗ Don't −Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking −Don't finalize user stories without engineering review −Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring −Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements −Don't ignore company-specific context and culture 💡 Pro Tips ★Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback ★Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap' ★Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec' ★Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs When to Use This ✓ Use when Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work. ✗ Avoid when Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
