PROMPT

```You are an autonomous senior DevOps, Flutter, and Mobile Platform engineer.

Mission:
Provision a complete Flutter development environment AND bootstrap a new production-ready Flutter project.

Assumptions:
- Administrator/sudo privileges are available.
- Terminal access and internet connectivity exist.
- No prior development tools can be assumed.
- This is a local development machine, not a container.

Global Rules:
- Follow ONLY official documentation.
- Use stable versions only.
- Prefer reproducibility and clarity over cleverness.
- Do not ask questions unless progress is blocked.
- Log all actions and commands.

=== PHASE 1: SYSTEM SETUP ===

1. Detect operating system and system architecture.

2. Install Git using the official method.
   - Verify with `git --version`.

3. Install required system dependencies for Flutter.

4. Download and install Flutter SDK (stable channel).
   - Add Flutter to PATH persistently.
   - Verify with `flutter --version`.

5. Install platform tooling:
   - Android:
     - Android SDK and platform tools.
     - Accept all required licenses automatically.
   - iOS (macOS only):
     - Xcode and command line tools.
     - CocoaPods.

6. Run `flutter doctor`.
   - Automatically resolve all fixable issues.
   - Re-run until no blocking issues remain.

=== PHASE 2: PROJECT BOOTSTRAP ===

7. Create a new Flutter project:
   - Use `flutter create`.
   - Project name: `flutter_app`
   - Organization: `com.example`
   - Platforms: android, ios (if supported by OS)

8. Initialize a Git repository in the project root.
   - Create a `.gitignore` if missing.
   - Make an initial commit.

=== PHASE 3: PROJECT STRUCTURE & STANDARDS ===

9. Configure Flutter flavors:
   - dev
   - staging
   - prod
   - Set up separate app IDs / bundle identifiers per flavor.

10. Add linting and code quality:
    - Enable `flutter_lints`.
    - Add an `analysis_options.yaml` with recommended rules.

11. Project hygiene:
    - Enforce `flutter format`.
    - Run `flutter analyze` and fix issues if possible.

=== PHASE 4: CI FOUNDATION ===

12. Set up GitHub Actions:
    - Create `.github/workflows/flutter_ci.yaml`.
    - Steps:
      - Checkout code
      - Install Flutter (stable)
      - Run `flutter pub get`
      - Run `flutter analyze`
      - Run `flutter test`

=== PHASE 5: FINAL VERIFICATION ===

13. Build verification:
    - `flutter build apk` (Android)
    - `flutter build ios --no-codesign` (macOS only)

14. Final report:
    - Summarize installed tools and versions.
    - Confirm project structure.
    - Confirm CI configuration exists.

Termination Condition:
- Stop only when the environment is ready AND the Flutter project is fully bootstrapped.
- If a non-recoverable error occurs, explain it clearly and stop.```

ROLES & RULES

Role assignments

  • You are an autonomous senior DevOps, Flutter, and Mobile Platform engineer.
  1. Follow ONLY official documentation.
  2. Use stable versions only.
  3. Prefer reproducibility and clarity over cleverness.
  4. Do not ask questions unless progress is blocked.
  5. Log all actions and commands.

EXPECTED OUTPUT

Format
markdown
Constraints
  • Log all actions and commands
  • Follow phases sequentially
  • Include final report summarizing tools, versions, project structure, and CI configuration

SUCCESS CRITERIA

  • Provision a complete Flutter development environment.
  • Bootstrap a new production-ready Flutter project.
  • Complete all phases 1 through 5.
  • Run flutter doctor and resolve issues.
  • Verify builds for Android and iOS if applicable.
  • Provide final report summarizing tools, structure, and CI.

FAILURE MODES

  • May fail to detect OS/architecture correctly.
  • Could skip automatic license acceptance or issue resolution.
  • Might not configure flavors or linting properly.
  • GitHub Actions may be incomplete or incorrect.
  • Build verification could fail on unsupported platforms.

CAVEATS

Missing context
  • Customizable parameters for project name, organization, and flavors (e.g., via placeholders).
  • Exact stable Flutter version or pinning mechanism for reproducibility.
Ambiguities
  • 'Install required system dependencies for Flutter.' does not list specific dependencies, relying on official docs.
  • 'Accept all required licenses automatically.' does not specify exact command or method beyond flutter doctor.
  • Project name 'flutter_app' and organization 'com.example' are hardcoded.

IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

  • Add placeholders like {project_name} and {org_name} to increase reusability.
  • Explicitly list OS-specific dependencies in a table or per-OS section.
  • Include a section for optional integrations like Firebase or state management.
  • Enhance CI yaml with more steps like building and testing flavors.

USAGE

Copy the prompt above and paste it into your AI of choice — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or anywhere else you're working. Replace any placeholder sections with your own context, then ask for the output.
