Flutter Riverpod State Management

Use this skill when building Flutter state management with riverpod and flutter_riverpod.

Core Rule

• Use Provider for read-only values and dependency wiring.
• Use StateProvider for small mutable state.
• Use FutureProvider for one-shot async loading.
• Use StreamProvider for reactive streams.
• Use Notifier or AsyncNotifier for feature state that needs mutation methods.
• Use autoDispose for short-lived state.
• Use family when provider output depends on an argument.
• Use flutter_riverpod in Flutter apps.
• If you use flutter_riverpod, you usually do not add riverpod separately because the Flutter package brings it in transitively.
• Current stable line is Riverpod 3.x (riverpod 3.2.1, flutter_riverpod 3.3.1).
