Problem Statement

The Claude Code Web cloud environment comes with many language runtimes pre-installed (Node.js, Python, Go, Ruby, Bun, Rust, Java/Maven/Gradle, PHP), but Dart and Flutter SDK are not included.

For Flutter/Dart projects, the SessionStart hook must git clone the entire Flutter SDK (~1.4 GB) on every fresh session, which adds significant startup latency. While the SDK is cached on session resume, cold starts are noticeably slow.

Proposed Solution

Pre-install the Dart SDK (or ideally the Flutter SDK) in the cloud environment's base image, similar to how Go, Ruby, and other runtimes are already included.

Even just the Dart SDK (~50 MB compressed) would allow dart analyze, dart pub get, and dart test to work out of the box without any SessionStart hook setup.

Alternative Solutions

Currently using a SessionStart hook that runs git clone --depth 1 of the Flutter SDK on cold start. The SDK is cached across session resumes, but every fresh session incurs the full ~1.4 GB download (Dart SDK alone is 611 MB).

Another option considered was installing only the standalone Dart SDK (~50 MB) instead of the full Flutter SDK, but flutter pub get is needed for Flutter projects with platform-specific plugin dependencies.

Low - Nice to have

Performance and speed

Use Case Example

  1. Open a Flutter game project on Claude Code Web (claude.ai/code)
  2. Session starts → SessionStart hook runs git clone of Flutter SDK (~1.4 GB)
  3. Wait for download, Dart SDK extraction (611 MB), and flutter pub get
  4. Finally able to start working (e.g. dart analyze, editing code, running tests)

With Dart/Flutter pre-installed, step 2-3 would be eliminated entirely, and the session would be ready to use immediately — just like Node.js or Python projects are today.

Additional Context

No response

extent analysis

TL;DR

Pre-installing the Dart SDK in the cloud environment's base image can significantly reduce startup latency for Flutter/Dart projects.

Guidance

  • Consider pre-installing the Dart SDK (~50 MB compressed) to enable basic Dart functionality like dart analyze, dart pub get, and dart test without requiring a SessionStart hook.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of installing the full Flutter SDK (~1.4 GB) for comprehensive support of Flutter projects, including platform-specific plugin dependencies.
  • Assess the trade-offs between storage space and startup latency when deciding between installing the Dart SDK, the full Flutter SDK, or maintaining the current SessionStart hook approach.
  • Review related issues, such as #16849 (Dart/Flutter LSP support), to ensure a comprehensive solution that addresses all aspects of Dart and Flutter development in the Claude Code Web environment.

Example

No specific code snippet is provided, as the solution involves modifying the cloud environment's base image rather than writing code.

Notes

The decision to pre-install the Dart SDK or the full Flutter SDK should be based on the specific needs of the users and the available resources (e.g., storage space). This solution may not be feasible if storage space is a concern or if there are other limitations in the cloud environment.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Pre-install the Dart SDK to balance storage space and startup latency, as it provides basic functionality for Dart projects and reduces the startup time compared to cloning the full Flutter SDK.
