flutter-flame-harness
English | 한국어
A Claude Code plugin that takes a Flutter/Flame game from raw idea all the way to the app stores. The harness orchestrates a structured pipeline of skills — research, planning, design, contract negotiation, and a generator–evaluator build loop — so every stage produces a verified, hand-off-ready artifact before the next one begins.
Why
AI coding tools usually skip the boring parts — they code before pinning requirements, skip tests, and stop while it's half-done. This harness delegates the process, not just the code: guardrails → plan → a generator↔evaluator build loop with a skeptical QA that runs the game before judging → human review. And it isn't theory — the fixes earned shipping real Flame games (audio pooling, haptics, app-lifecycle, performance, store/build pitfalls) are baked in, so a generated game doesn't re-walk the same traps.
Games
A mix of games I've shipped and games built with this harness — Flutter + Flame.

Phases
Phase A (complete): research → plan → design → contract → generator ↔ evaluator → playable game
The generator and evaluator negotiate completion criteria before any code is written, then build the Flutter/Flame project in three sub-phases (scaffold → API wiring → UI polish), with the evaluator gating each hand-off.
See docs/SMOKE-TEST.md for the full manual smoke-test procedure.
Phase B (complete): admob, build, screenshot, submit, retro
Automates AdMob integration, release builds (Android + iOS), App Store / Play Store screenshots, submission, and a post-launch retrospective.
See docs/SMOKE-TEST-phaseB.md for the full manual deploy dry-run procedure.
Install
/plugin marketplace add tjdrhs90/flutter-flame-harness
/plugin install flutter-flame-harness@flutter-flame-harness
Updating
The plugin is copied into a cache at install time, so editing the source doesn't take effect until
you re-sync. After pulling new commits (the version bumps each release):
/plugin marketplace update flutter-flame-harness # re-sync the latest version into the cache
/reload-plugins # apply it in the current session
Confirm the new version in /plugin. If a change doesn't appear, reinstall:
/plugin uninstall flutter-flame-harness@flutter-flame-harness
/plugin install flutter-flame-harness@flutter-flame-harness
(Last resort if the cache is stuck: rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache, then restart Claude Code.)
Usage
/flame-harness "<idea>"
/flame-harness
Run with a quoted idea to seed the pipeline directly. Run with no idea and the AI researches the
market, recommends 2-3 game concepts, and waits for you to pick one before proceeding. Add
--auto-idea to skip that prompt: no idea + --auto-idea → AI generates, scores, and auto-picks
a concept with no prompts (fully hands-off).
Flags:
| Flag | Default | Description |
|---|
--strict | off | Run the evaluator in strict 3-phase QA mode |
--rounds N | 3 | Maximum generator–evaluator negotiation rounds |
--skip-research | off | Skip the market-research phase |
--skip-admob | off | Skip the AdMob phase |
--auto-idea | off | Research scores its generated concepts and auto-picks the best — no pick prompt |
--auto-deploy | off | Skip the post-QA human-review pause; PASS continues straight to deploy |
--resume | — | Resume a paused run |
By default, after the build passes QA the harness pauses for you to play and approve the game
(cd <slug> && flutter run) before any deploy work; /flame-harness --resume continues to
admob→build→screenshot→submit. --auto-deploy skips this gate, and --auto-idea --auto-deploy
together run fully hands-off from idea to deploy.

Security
Credentials and secrets never enter this repository. The .gitignore permanently excludes credentials/, secrets/, *.jks, *.p8, play-store-key.json, and sheets-key.json. Never commit signing keys, API credentials, or service-account files — pass them via environment variables or a secrets manager at runtime.
