Research direction

Start by clarifying with @jwren or @johnpryan how the IDEs should look up the latest skills version, as the issue identifies this information as missing. Then determine how VS Code and IntelliJ/Android Studio should compare skill modification dates and prompt users; done means the supported IDEs notify users when their Flutter skills are stale.

Description

P3 Tools

Flutter's officially supported IDEs (VS Code & IntelliJ / Android Studio) should prompt users to upgrade their skills when they are stale. This is similar to how the IDE prompts users to run flutter pub get when their dependencies have changed or how the IDE notifies users that a new flutter release is available.

This should be possible since the skills have a last modified field and the IDE can fetch information about the most up to date skills to compare the dates. Additional information is needed from @jwren or @johnpryan about how the IDEs should lookup the most up to date skills version.
