native-vs-flutter-decision

native-vs-flutter-decision is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from makifbaysal/tasktrooper. It costs 35 tokens per session (590 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A decision guide for choosing Flutter or native iOS and Android development at the start of a mobile task. It considers the app's existing technology and whether the feature needs deep platform integration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a mobile app or feature that could use Flutter, SwiftUI, or Jetpack Compose, especially in a new app or one needing platform-specific capabilities.
Why use it?
Choosing a different technology from the existing app can create a costly half-migration. Making the choice early avoids incompatible architecture and duplicated work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

native-vs-flutter-decision scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Native vs Flutter Decision

Overview

Flutter is the default for cross-platform mobile; native (SwiftUI / Jetpack Compose) is chosen when a task needs deep platform integration or the app is already native. Decide at the start — you cannot half-migrate an app mid-task.

Core principle: The existing app's stack wins by default. Only greenfield apps or the analiz task's direction open the choice.

Decision

digraph m {
    "App already single-stack?" [shape=diamond];
    "Follow the app's stack" [shape=box];
    "Needs deep platform integration?" [shape=diamond];
    "Native (SwiftUI / Compose)" [shape=box];
    "Flutter (default)" [shape=box];

    "App already single-stack?" -> "Follow the app's stack" [label="yes"];
    "App already single-stack?" -> "Needs deep platform integration?" [label="greenfield"];
    "Needs deep platform integration?" -> "Native (SwiftUI / Compose)" [label="yes"];
    "Needs deep platform integration?" -> "Flutter (default)" [label="no"];
}

Choose Flutter when

  • Cross-platform (iOS + Android) from one codebase, standard UI + platform-channel-level device access.
  • Greenfield app with no hard native requirement.
  • The app is already Flutter — always.

Choose native when

  • The task needs platform capabilities Flutter exposes poorly: advanced widgets/animations tied to the OS, deep HealthKit/CarPlay/WidgetKit, App Clips, live activities, tight ARKit/CameraX use.
  • The app is already native (SwiftUI for iOS, Compose for Android) — always follow it.
  • The analiz task specifies native.

Hard Rule

Never introduce a second UI stack into a single-stack app. A Flutter app that "needs one native screen" embeds it via a platform view (PlatformView/AndroidView/UiKitView) or talks to it through a MethodChannel/Pigeon — it does not gain a parallel SwiftUI module on your initiative. Going the other way (a native app needing a Flutter module) is Flutter add-to-app, not a rewrite. Flag genuine cross-stack needs in a task comment for the architect.
