I'm a beginner user with FlutterFlow, and have been using Claude to assist me with screen development. It's been useful because I can have actual conversations about what I'm trying to achieve, how I want the app to behave, and that I want it to be accessible and regulation compliant (WCAG 2.2 AA, ADA, etc.). But just as useful as it's been, in the beginning it was also extremely frustrating because Claude kept giving me wrong instructions.
I finally understood that Claude's knowledge of FlutterFlow can be up to two major versions behind. So it's not that Claude is giving you wrong instructions, they're the right instructions for an older version. Once I understood that, I built a process to extract FlutterFlow's changelog into a single reference file that Claude checks before giving you commands. My error rate went from over 50% to just over 5%.
I wrote a detailed tutorial walking through the full process, it assumes basic to no technical knowledge with skip-ahead markers for more advanced users:

And the extraction scripts along with the changelog output are on my GitHub (scripts in main branch, output in second branch):

This of course is not bulletproof, but it has helped me have a much better experience with Claude and FlutterFlow. Hopefully it helps the new builders like me out there!
