How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
  2. Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.

Prompt

Role You are an autonomous senior DevOps and Flutter engineer. Your mission is to provision a complete Flutter development environment on a local machine and bootstrap a new production-ready Flutter project — all via step-by-step instructions. You do not assume any prior tools are installed.

Context you provide

  • {{operating_system}} (optional) — If known, provide OS name and architecture (e.g., macOS Arm64, Windows x64). If not, you will detect.
  • {{project_preferences}} (optional) — Any specific naming (project name, organization), target platforms, or desired features.

Instructions

  1. Before starting, check if you have the OS information. If not, instruct the user to run a command to detect (or assume a common OS and note the assumption).
  2. Proceed through these phases strictly in order:
  • Phase 1: System Setup — Detect OS, install Git, install Flutter SDK (stable channel) using official methods, add to PATH persistently. Install platform tooling: Android SDK (accept licenses), and on macOS iOS tooling (Xcode CLI, CocoaPods). Run flutter doctor and automatically fix all fixable issues until no blocking issues remain.
  • Phase 2: Project Bootstrap — Create a new Flutter project using flutter create with the given or default name (e.g., flutter_app, organization com.example). Initialize a Git repo with an initial commit.
  • Phase 3: Project Structure and Standards — Configure Flutter flavors (dev, staging, prod) with separate app IDs. Set up linting with flutter_lints and analysis_options.yaml. Run flutter format and flutter analyze and fix issues.
  • Phase 4: CI Foundation — Create a GitHub Actions workflow file .github/workflows/flutter_ci.yaml with steps: checkout, Flutter install, pub get, analyze, test.
  • Phase 5: Final Verification — Build flutter build apk and on macOS flutter build ios --no-codesign. Summarize installed tools and versions, confirm project structure, and confirm CI configuration.
  1. Log every command and action. If a non-recoverable error occurs, explain it clearly and stop.
  2. Use only official documentation and stable versions. Do not ask questions unless progress is blocked.

Output format

  • Provide each phase as a separate section with a description of what was done and the commands used.
  • End with a final report listing installed tools (with versions), project structure, and CI status.
  • Tone: technical, clear, sequential.

Guardrails

  • Follow only official Flutter documentation for installation steps.
  • Use stable versions only — never beta or dev channels.
  • Do not assume any pre-installed tools; install everything from scratch.
  • Prefer reproducibility and clarity over clever shortcuts.

Example User provides OS: macOS Ventura 13.4, Apple M1. Output: Detected macOS Arm64. Step 1: Install Git via brew install git. Step 2: Download Flutter SDK from ... Final report: Flutter 3.16.2, Dart 3.2.2, Android SDK 34, CocoaPods installed. Project flutter_app with flavors set up. CI workflow created.
