Description
flutter-add-widget-test is an agent skill from Flutter's agent-plugins collection for writing component-level tests with WidgetTester, the tool in flutter_test that checks how a widget renders and how it responds to taps, scrolling and text entry. It is used when validating a widget's appearance or behaviour without running a full app. The skill sets out the setup: add flutter_test to the dev dependencies in pubspec.yaml, place every test file in the test directory at the project root, and give each file a name ending in _test.dart, such as widget_test.dart. It then describes the core components the agent uses to find and inspect widgets in the widget tree, and a workflow for implementing a widget test, followed by a section on interaction and state management, and examples. The skill is useful for Flutter developers who want widget tests that a coding agent writes in the conventional layout, so they run with flutter test without extra configuration. It is particularly suited to checking that a button triggers an action, a list scrolls to an item, or a text field accepts input and updates the screen. It is listed on skills.sh, where the page shows install counts and GitHub stars for the collection, and its security audits all pass, including Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/flutter/agent-plugins --skill flutter-add-widget-test.…
