What this skill does


# Install Flutter from Git

This skill guides you through installing the Flutter SDK using `git clone` and setting up the environment for Web, Mobile, and Desktop development.

## 1. Prerequisites (All Platforms)

Ensure you have the following installed:
- **Git**: [Install Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- **Curl/Unzip** (macOS/Linux usually have these; Windows usually needs Git Bash or similar)

## 2. Install Flutter SDK

### macOS / Linux
Open your terminal and run the following commands to clone the stable branch of the Flutter SDK.

```bash
# Create a directory for development (e.g., ~/development)
mkdir -p ~/development
cd ~/development

# Clone the Flutter SDK
git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git -b stable
```

### Windows
Open PowerShell or Command Prompt.

```powershell
# Create a directory for development (e.g., C:\src)
mkdir C:\src
cd C:\src

# Clone the Flutter SDK
git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git -b stable
```

## 3. Add Flutter to PATH

To run `flutter` commands from any terminal, you must add the SDK's `bin` directory to your PATH.

### macOS (Zsh) / Linux (Bash/Zsh)
1.  Open your shell configuration file (e.g., `~/.zshrc`, `~/.bashrc`, or `~/.zshenv`).
2.  Add the following line (replace `~/development/flutter` with your actual path):

    ```bash
    export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/development/flutter/bin"
    ```
3.  Refresh your current terminal:
    ```bash
    source ~/.zshrc  # or ~/.bashrc
    ```

### Windows
1.  Press `Win + S`, type "env", and select **Edit the system environment variables**.
2.  Click **Environment Variables**.
3.  Under **User variables**, select **Path** and click **Edit**.
4.  Click **New** and add the full path to `flutter\bin` (e.g., `C:\src\flutter\bin`).
5.  Click **OK** on all windows.
6.  Restart your terminal/PowerShell.

## 4. Verify Installation

Run the following command to check for missing dependencies:

```bash
flutter doctor
```

## 5. Platform Setup

### Web (Chrome)
1.  **Install Chrome**: Ensure Google Chrome is installed.
2.  **Enable Web Support** (usually enabled by default):
    ```bash
    flutter config --enable-web
    ```
3.  **Verify**: Run `flutter devices` to see "Chrome" listed.

### Mobile (iOS & Android)

#### iOS (macOS only)
1.  **Install Xcode**: Download from the Mac App Store.
2.  **Configure Command Line Tools**:
    ```bash
    sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
    sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
    ```
3.  **Install CocoaPods** (for dependency management):
    ```bash
    sudo gem install cocoapods
    ```
4.  **Simulator**: Open via `open -a Simulator`.

#### Android (All Operating Systems)
1.  **Install Android Studio**: [Download here](https://developer.android.com/studio).
2.  **Install SDK Components**:
    - Open Android Studio -> SDK Manager.
    - Install **Android SDK Platform-Tools**.
    - Install **Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest)**.
3.  **Accept Licenses**:
    ```bash
    flutter doctor --android-licenses
    ```
    (Press `y` to accept all licences).
4.  **Emulator**: Create a device in AVD Manager.

### Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux)

#### macOS Desktop
1.  **Install Xcode**: (Same as iOS steps above).
2.  **Enable macOS**:
    ```bash
    flutter config --enable-macos-desktop
    ```

#### Windows Desktop
1.  **Install Visual Studio** (not VS Code): [Download VS Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/).
2.  **Workloads**: When installing, select **Desktop development with C++**.
3.  **Enable Windows**:
    ```bash
    flutter config --enable-windows-desktop
    ```

#### Linux Desktop
1.  **Install Dependencies** (Ubuntu/Debian example):
    ```bash
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev liblzma-dev
    ```
2.  **Enable Linux**:
    ```bash
    flutter config --enable-linux-desktop
    ```

## 6. Final Check

Run `flutter doctor` again to ensure all desired platforms have checkmarks.

```bash
flutter doctor -v
```

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
