Automated summary

Guides management of WebF controllers through WebFControllerManager — lifecycle, reuse, pre-render and multiple controllers — using the OpenWebF documentation as reference.

Strengths

  • Starts by detecting the existing controller strategy (ad-hoc vs manager) and the navigation pattern before suggesting changes
  • Queries OpenWebF docs and templates over MCP to confirm best practices and safe defaults
  • Explicitly addresses multi-screen setups, preloading/pre-render and complex lifecycle requirements
  • Aims for minimal code changes paired with clear verification steps

Limitations

  • Most effective when the openwebf MCP servers (docs and templates) are available; without them, access to best practices is limited
  • Focuses on controller management rather than the full WebF host integration
  • Assumes an existing Flutter/WebF project with controller code already in place
When to use it

Use it when an existing WebF app needs to handle multiple screens, pre-rendering, or a complex controller lifecycle.

When not to use it

Avoid it for a first, simple WebF integration where a single ad-hoc controller is already enough.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score85/100

The skill uses Bash for legitimate development tasks (code changes, verification) and does not contain malicious instructions, but the presence of Bash warrants a caution rating because it can perform system-level operations if misused.

Findings
  • •Allowed-tools include Bash, which can execute arbitrary commands, though the skill itself does not instruct destructive or exfiltrating actions.
  • •The skill guides code modifications and verification steps, which may involve running build or test commands via Bash.

Examples

Migrate to WebFControllerManager
Our Flutter app has three WebF pages and each one creates its own WebFController. Can you refactor them to use WebFControllerManager instead, keeping the current navigation?
Pre-render a WebF page
How do I pre-render a WebF controller with WebFControllerManager so the page appears instantly when the user navigates to it?
Multiple WebF screens lifecycle
We have several WebF subviews in one screen and the lifecycle handling is getting messy — what's the recommended WebFControllerManager setup?

OpenWebF Host: Controller Management

Instructions

  1. Detect current controller strategy (ad-hoc vs manager) and the navigation pattern.
  2. Prefer WebFControllerManager when you have:
    • multiple WebF screens/subviews
    • preloading/pre-render needs
    • complex lifecycle requirements
  3. Use MCP docs to confirm best practices and safe defaults.
  4. Provide minimal code changes and verification steps.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn/download' --output '.skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, Edit, Write, mcp__openwebf__project_profile, mcp__openwebf__docs_search, mcp__openwebf__docs_get_section, mcp__openwebf__templates_get, mcp__openwebf__templates_render

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

test -f '.skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/openwebf-host-controller-manager' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn' '.claude/skills/openwebf-host-controller-manager'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn'

openskills read 'webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/webf-controller-management-mtpag6pn/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
