Clean architecture template
Flutter clean architecture without the ceremony
Clean architecture in Flutter often means layers of interfaces and dependency injection that slow down small teams. Flutter Agent Kit implements the useful core: feature-first modularity with clear boundaries, kept intact by agent rules.
The kit's take on clean architecture
Classical clean architecture stacks onboarding cost onto every project: repository interfaces, use case classes, DI containers. For solo developers and small teams shipping mobile apps, that ceremony often costs more than it returns.
Flutter Agent Kit keeps the boundaries that pay off and drops the ceremony: features are self-contained modules, data flows through service classes, state lives in Riverpod providers, and models are plain Dart.
Feature-first structure
Each feature owns its models, services, providers and widgets. Adding a feature means adding a folder, not threading changes through five type-based layers. Removing one is a folder delete.
This matters disproportionately with AI agents: a feature-first layout constrains where the agent writes code, so generated changes stay reviewable and scoped.
How the architecture stays clean
Architecture erodes through small exceptions: an http call in a widget, a model import in a view, a service reaching into another feature's state. Each seems reasonable at the time.
The kit's AGENTS.md forbids these explicitly, and the agent reads the rules on every task. The architecture is enforced where the code is written, which is the only place enforcement actually works.
When to choose this template
- Choose it if: You want clear boundaries and scalable structure without enterprise ceremony, and you build with AI agents.
- Look elsewhere if: You need enforced multi-team layer boundaries or a specific corporate architecture standard. The kit is a starting point you can extend, not a lock-in.
Frequently asked questions
Is feature-first or layer-first better for Flutter?
For mobile app teams, feature-first wins in practice: changes stay local, features are deletable, and AI agents scope their edits naturally. Layer-first makes sense for large backend codebases with many teams.
Can I add use case classes and repositories?
Yes. The kit is a starting point, not a constraint. You can add layers where your project needs them; the AGENTS.md conventions make it clear where they belong.
