$ npx skills add https://github.com/dart-lang/skills --skill dart-use-pattern-matchingPattern matching in Dart enables developers to write more expressive and maintainable code by matching complex data structures and conditions in a single operation. This skill guides AI agents on when and how to apply switch expressions and pattern matching techniques across Dart projects, replacing verbose conditional logic with concise, readable patterns. Pattern matching excels at data validation, decomposing nested structures, and handling multiple cases elegantly. Developers benefit from reduced code complexity, improved readability, and fewer bugs. Use this skill when refactoring conditional logic or building new features that involve matching against structured data.
