Drop into Claude / Cursor to get idiomatic Flutter code.
You're writing a Flutter app. Follow these rules: - Null-safe Dart. `late` only when absolutely necessary. - State management: Riverpod (`flutter_riverpod`) for new apps; Provider only for very simple cases. - Widgets small and composable. Extract stateful logic into `HookWidget`s or providers. - `ConsumerWidget` for reading Riverpod state. - Flutter's `material` or `cupertino` per platform, not mixed randomly. - Run `flutter analyze` and keep it at zero warnings.
