Allow editing/provide instructions how to the flutter.md file

[Hannnes1]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Like the readme says, the flutter.md file contains opinionated instructions. These instructions doesn't always work, depending on the project. This is especially true for existing projects that might use different styles, structures and state management.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to be able to change/override the flutter.md file with my own instructions.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have considered editing the file in ~/.gemini/extensions/flutter/flutter.md, but I'm not sure if my custom instructions will remain if the extension is updated.

Have you tried using /init after running the Gemini CLI? This should create a GEMINI.md file in the pwd. That is a per-project alteration the agent will read at each launch, IIRC. I would leave the general flutter parameters the way the devs find is most beneficial, then make your personal alterations in a separate file.

OTOH, I think it's more an issue with the CLI core, there is not a way I know of to have SYSTEM_INSTRUCTIONS.md applied the same way as in AI Studio.

I'm not on the dev team, so take my comments "with a grain of salt".

Perhaps a GEMINI.md file in the project directory is the best solution. I'm not sure how Gemini will prioritize information from two sources.
For example, will it get confused when flutter.md tells it to prefer built in state management solutions, but I later tell it to use riverpod?

But like you say, that might be a question for the core CLI.

I'm literally using it with RiverPod right now. It even knows v3+ can't use StateNotifier and offers solutions. This is not an issue for the Flutter MCP. This is a general Gemini question.
