Use when setting up firebase_ai, generating text/chat with Gemini, streaming AI output, building multimodal prompts, or handling AI errors.

This skill defines how to correctly use Firebase AI Logic in Flutter applications.
Use this skill when:
flutter pub add firebase_ai
import 'package:firebase_ai/firebase_ai.dart';
import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'firebase_options.dart';
// Initialize FirebaseApp
await Firebase.initializeApp(
options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
);
// Initialize the Gemini Developer API backend service
final model =
FirebaseAI.googleAI().generativeModel(model: 'gemini-2.5-flash');
FirebaseAI.googleAI() for the Gemini Developer API backend (recommended starting point).Platform support:
| Platform | Support |
|---|---|
| iOS | Full |
| Android | Full |
| Web | Full |
| macOS / other Apple | Beta |
| Windows | Not supported |
final response = await model.generateContent([
Content.text('Summarize the benefits of Flutter for mobile development'),
]);
final text = response.text; // The generated summary string
final chat = model.startChat();
final response = await chat.sendMessage(
Content.text('What is the difference between StatelessWidget and StatefulWidget?'),
);
print(response.text);
// Follow-up in the same conversation
final followUp = await chat.sendMessage(
Content.text('When should I use StatefulWidget?'),
);
print(followUp.text);
Use streaming to display partial results as they arrive:
final stream = model.generateContentStream([
Content.text('Write a step-by-step guide to implementing dark mode in Flutter'),
]);
await for (final chunk in stream) {
// Append chunk.text to the UI progressively
setState(() => _output += chunk.text ?? '');
}
final imageBytes = await File('photo.jpg').readAsBytes();
final response = await model.generateContent([
Content.multi([
TextPart('Describe what you see in this image'),
InlineDataPart('image/jpeg', imageBytes),
]),
]);
Wrap AI calls in structured error handling:
try {
final response = await model.generateContent([Content.text(prompt)]);
return response.text;
} on FirebaseAIException catch (e) {
if (e.message?.contains('quota') ?? false) {
// Handle rate limiting — show retry message or queue the request
return 'Service is busy. Please try again shortly.';
}
return 'AI service error: ${e.message}';
} catch (e) {
return 'Unexpected error: $e';
}
final model = FirebaseAI.googleAI().generativeModel(
model: 'gemini-2.5-flash',
safetySettings: [
SafetySetting(HarmCategory.harassment, HarmBlockThreshold.medium),
SafetySetting(HarmCategory.dangerousContent, HarmBlockThreshold.high),
],
);
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.
Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
Take evanca/firebase-ai from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
