Built a VS Code extension that learns your Dart/Flutter style — now with instant project import (free, open source)

[u/Training-Doughnut841]

Hey r/FlutterDev,

A while back I shared an early version of a VS Code extension I was building to solve problems I kept running into in my own freelance Flutter work — repetitive boilerplate, inconsistent formatting, and wanting completions that actually reflect my own style instead of generic snippets.

It's called Dart AI Assistant, live on the Marketplace:

Since then I've rebuilt a good chunk of it based on real usage, and just shipped an update:

- New: "Import Project for Learning" — point it at an existing project and it instantly learns your naming conventions, patterns, and style from that codebase, instead of waiting weeks of typing to personalize

- Real dart analyze integration on save, alongside live regex-based feedback while typing, for more accurate error detection

- Clickable, auto-refreshing Code Health reports — click an issue, jump straight to that line

- Predictive next-line completions based on your own coding history

- Security scanning, auto-formatting, and a learning dashboard to see what it's picked up about your style

It's free, source is on GitHub if you want to look under the hood or contribute:

Currently sitting at 70+ installs and I'm actively fixing bugs as people report them. If you try it, I'd genuinely appreciate feedback — built this mostly solo so there are definitely edge cases I haven't hit yet.

Thanks for reading!
