Update Examples Dependencies & Code Fixes

This skill provides a systematic and automated workflow to update dependencies in all Dart/Flutter examples located in the ./examples directory and fix any code compilation, deprecation, or linter warnings that arise.

Objective

Ensure all ./examples packages are upgraded to target the latest core package versions (e.g. signals) of the repository, run a full pub upgrade on third-party dependencies to prevent stale locks, and repair any broken code or deprecation warnings under analysis.

Workflow

1. Run the Automated Update Script

Locate the helper script at scripts/update_dependencies.dart or within this skill's scripts directory:

dart run .agents/skills/update-examples-dependencies/scripts/update_dependencies.dart

This script will:

• Read packages/signals/pubspec.yaml to detect the current package version of signals.
• Recursively find all pubspec.yaml files inside ./examples/.
• Replace the signals dependency version constraint with the exact latest version constraint (e.g., ^6.3.1).
• Execute flutter pub upgrade or dart pub upgrade on each example package.

2. Bootstrap the Workspace

After upgrading individual package pubspecs, link the workspace packages and ensure they resolve successfully by running:

melos bootstrap

3. Analyze and Fix Code Issues

With all packages upgraded, run static analysis to check for breaking changes or new warnings:

melos run analyze

For any deprecations (such as v6 to v7 API transitions or external package changes):

• Inspect the file and reference standard migration rules (e.g., migration-6-to-7 if migrating to v7).
• Refactor the code in place to use modern, non-deprecated APIs.
• Fix all compiler errors and static analysis warnings until melos run analyze succeeds cleanly.
