 ## Notes
 
 ### Style
 
-Flutter packages follow [Flutter's style
-guide](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Style-guide-for-Flutter-repo), with the
-exception that code is formatted with `dart format`.
+Flutter packages and plugins follow Google style—or Flutter style for Dart—for the languages they
+use, and use auto-formatters:
+- [Dart](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Style-guide-for-Flutter-repo) formatted
+  with `dart format`
+- [C++](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html) formatted with `clang-format`
+  - **Note**: The Linux plugins generally follow idiomatic GObject-based C
+    style. See [the engine style
+    notes](https://github.com/flutter/engine/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#style)
+    for more details, and exceptions.
+- [Java](https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html) formatted with
