Can flutter-skill see and understand Flutter DevTools?

Not directly — but flutter-skill talks to your app via the Dart VM Service Protocol, which is the same underlying data source that DevTools uses. So there is significant overlap:

What flutter-skill CAN access (same data source as DevTools):

• Widget tree / inspector (inspect, inspect_interactive)
• Performance metrics (get_memory_stats)
• App logs (get_logs)
• Hot reload / hot restart
• All registered VM Service extensions

What flutter-skill cannot currently access:

• The DevTools UI itself (the browser dashboard)
• CPU profiler / timeline recordings
• The Network tab (unless your app registers dart:io HTTP overrides)

Workaround for the DevTools UI: If you open Flutter DevTools in Chrome, connect_cdp lets flutter-skill automate the DevTools web interface directly — reading profiler output, clicking through tabs, extracting data from the UI.

Roadmap: Surfacing the profiler, timeline, and network inspector data as dedicated MCP tools is planned. The VM Service protocol exposes all of it — it just needs to be wired up.
