Staged planning files before Flutter code generation for ADK clients
Teams building Flutter clients for ADK agents can require the coding agent to produce four reviewable files before it writes UI code: AGENT_INTERFACE_NOTES.md, FRONTEND_USAGE_NOTES.md, FRONTEND_ARCHITECTURE_NOTES.md, and FRONTEND_DESIGN_NOTES.md. This gives the developer a concrete place to check the backend interface, expected user behavior, state model, and visual plan while the cost of revision is still low.
The useful adoption change is a gate in the coding-agent workflow. The agent reads the ADK codebase, drafts the notes, pauses for review, and only then generates the Flutter app. A cheap test is to run the workflow on two existing ADK agents with no frontend and check whether the notes correctly identify streaming behavior, APIs, tool calls, and required client state before code is generated.
