SwiftUI Expert Skill workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs Write, review, or improve SwiftUI code following best practices for state management, view composition, performance, and iOS 26+ Liquid Glass adoption. Use when building new SwiftUI features, refactoring existing views, reviewing code quality, or adopting modern SwiftUI patterns and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.

SwiftUI Expert Skill

Overview

This public intake copy packages

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/swiftui-expert-skill
from
https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills
into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses

metadata.json
plus
ORIGIN.md
as the provenance anchor for review.

SwiftUI Expert Skill

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Review Checklist, Philosophy, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

  • You are building, reviewing, or refactoring SwiftUI code and need current best practices.
  • The task involves state management, view composition, performance, accessibility, or iOS 26+ Liquid Glass adoption.
  • You need a fact-based SwiftUI guidance layer without locking into a specific application architecture.
  • Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Write, review, or improve SwiftUI code following best practices for state management, view composition, performance, and iOS 26+ Liquid Glass adoption. Use when building new SwiftUI features, refactoring existing....
  • Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
  • Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

  1. First, consult references/latest-apis.md to ensure only current, non-deprecated APIs are used
  2. Check property wrapper usage against the selection guide (see references/state-management.md)
  3. Verify view composition follows extraction rules (see references/view-structure.md)
  4. Check performance patterns are applied (see references/performance-patterns.md)
  5. Verify list patterns use stable identity (see references/list-patterns.md)
  6. Check animation patterns for correctness (see references/animation-basics.md, references/animation-transitions.md)
  7. Review accessibility: proper grouping, traits, Dynamic Type support (see references/accessibility-patterns.md)

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: Workflow Decision Tree

1) Review existing SwiftUI code

  • First, consult
    references/latest-apis.md
    to ensure only current, non-deprecated APIs are used
  • Check property wrapper usage against the selection guide (see
    references/state-management.md
    )
  • Verify view composition follows extraction rules (see
    references/view-structure.md
    )
  • Check performance patterns are applied (see
    references/performance-patterns.md
    )
  • Verify list patterns use stable identity (see
    references/list-patterns.md
    )
  • Check animation patterns for correctness (see
    references/animation-basics.md
    ,
    references/animation-transitions.md
    )
  • Review accessibility: proper grouping, traits, Dynamic Type support (see
    references/accessibility-patterns.md
    )
  • Inspect Liquid Glass usage for correctness and consistency (see
    references/liquid-glass.md
    )
  • Validate iOS 26+ availability handling with sensible fallbacks

2) Improve existing SwiftUI code

  • First, consult
    references/latest-apis.md
    to replace any deprecated APIs with their modern equivalents
  • Audit state management for correct wrapper selection (see
    references/state-management.md
    )
  • Extract complex views into separate subviews (see
    references/view-structure.md
    )
  • Refactor hot paths to minimize redundant state updates (see
    references/performance-patterns.md
    )
  • Ensure ForEach uses stable identity (see
    references/list-patterns.md
    )
  • Improve animation patterns (use value parameter, proper transitions, see
    references/animation-basics.md
    ,
    references/animation-transitions.md
    )
  • Improve accessibility: use
    Button
    over tap gestures, add
    @ScaledMetric
    for Dynamic Type (see
    references/accessibility-patterns.md
    )
  • Suggest image downsampling when
    UIImage(data:)
    is used (as optional optimization, see
    references/image-optimization.md
    )
  • Adopt Liquid Glass only when explicitly requested by the user

3) Implement new SwiftUI feature

  • First, consult
    references/latest-apis.md
    to use only current, non-deprecated APIs for the target deployment version
  • Design data flow first: identify owned vs injected state (see
    references/state-management.md
    )
  • Structure views for optimal diffing (extract subviews early, see
    references/view-structure.md
    )
  • Keep business logic in services and models for testability (see
    references/layout-best-practices.md
    )
  • Use correct animation patterns (implicit vs explicit, transitions, see
    references/animation-basics.md
    ,
    references/animation-transitions.md
    ,
    references/animation-advanced.md
    )
  • Use
    Button
    for tappable elements, add accessibility grouping and labels (see
    references/accessibility-patterns.md
    )
  • Apply glass effects after layout/appearance modifiers (see
    references/liquid-glass.md
    )
  • Gate iOS 26+ features with
    #available
    and provide fallbacks

Imported: Overview

Use this skill to build, review, or improve SwiftUI features with correct state management, optimal view composition, and iOS 26+ Liquid Glass styling. Prioritize native APIs, Apple design guidance, and performance-conscious patterns. This skill focuses on facts and best practices without enforcing specific architectural patterns.

Imported: Review Checklist

Latest APIs (see
references/latest-apis.md
)

  • No deprecated modifiers used (check against the quick lookup table)
  • API choices match the project's minimum deployment target

State Management

  • @State
    properties are
    private
  • @Binding
    only where child modifies parent state
  • @StateObject
    for owned,
    @ObservedObject
    for injected
  • iOS 17+:
    @State
    with
    @Observable
    ,
    @Bindable
    for injected
  • Passed values NOT declared as
    @State
    or
    @StateObject
  • Nested
    ObservableObject
    avoided (or passed directly to child views)

Sheets & Navigation (see
references/sheet-navigation-patterns.md
)

  • Using
    .sheet(item:)
    for model-based sheets
  • Sheets own their actions and dismiss internally

ScrollView (see
references/scroll-patterns.md
)

  • Using
    ScrollViewReader
    with stable IDs for programmatic scrolling

View Structure (see
references/view-structure.md
)

  • Using modifiers instead of conditionals for state changes
  • Complex views extracted to separate subviews
  • Container views use
    @ViewBuilder let content: Content

Performance (see
references/performance-patterns.md
)

  • View
    body
    kept simple and pure (no side effects)
  • Passing only needed values (not large config objects)
  • Eliminating unnecessary dependencies
  • State updates check for value changes before assigning
  • Hot paths minimize state updates
  • No object creation in
    body
  • Heavy computation moved out of
    body

List Patterns (see
references/list-patterns.md
)

  • ForEach uses stable identity (not
    .indices
    )
  • Constant number of views per ForEach element
  • No inline filtering in ForEach
  • No
    AnyView
    in list rows

Layout (see
references/layout-best-practices.md
)

  • Avoiding layout thrash (deep hierarchies, excessive GeometryReader)
  • Gating frequent geometry updates by thresholds
  • Business logic kept in services and models (not in views)
  • Action handlers reference methods (not inline logic)
  • Using relative layout (not hard-coded constants)
  • Views work in any context (context-agnostic)

Animations (see
references/animation-basics.md
,
references/animation-transitions.md
,
references/animation-advanced.md
)

  • Using
    .animation(_:value:)
    with value parameter
  • Using
    withAnimation
    for event-driven animations
  • Transitions paired with animations outside conditional structure
  • Custom
    Animatable
    has explicit
    animatableData
    implementation
  • Preferring transforms over layout changes for animation performance
  • Phase animations for multi-step sequences (iOS 17+)
  • Keyframe animations for precise timing (iOS 17+)
  • Completion handlers use
    .transaction(value:)
    for reexecution

Accessibility (see
references/accessibility-patterns.md
)

  • Button
    used instead of
    onTapGesture
    for tappable elements
  • @ScaledMetric
    used for custom values that should scale with Dynamic Type
  • Related elements grouped with
    accessibilityElement(children:)
  • Custom controls use
    accessibilityRepresentation
    when appropriate

Liquid Glass (iOS 26+)

  • #available(iOS 26, *)
    with fallback for Liquid Glass
  • Multiple glass views wrapped in
    GlassEffectContainer
  • .glassEffect()
    applied after layout/appearance modifiers
  • .interactive()
    only on user-interactable elements
  • Shapes and tints consistent across related elements

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @swiftui-expert-skill to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @swiftui-expert-skill against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @swiftui-expert-skill for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @swiftui-expert-skill using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

  • @State must be private; use for internal view state
  • @Binding only when a child needs to modify parent state
  • @StateObject when view creates the object; @ObservedObject when injected
  • iOS 17+: Use @State with @Observable classes; use @Bindable for injected observables needing bindings
  • Use let for read-only values; var + .onChange() for reactive reads
  • Never pass values into @State or @StateObject — they only accept initial values
  • Nested ObservableObject doesn't propagate changes — pass nested objects directly; @Observable handles nesting fine

Imported Operating Notes

Imported: Core Guidelines

State Management

  • @State
    must be
    private
    ; use for internal view state
  • @Binding
    only when a child needs to modify parent state
  • @StateObject
    when view creates the object;
    @ObservedObject
    when injected
  • iOS 17+: Use
    @State
    with
    @Observable
    classes; use
    @Bindable
    for injected observables needing bindings
  • Use
    let
    for read-only values;
    var
    +
    .onChange()
    for reactive reads
  • Never pass values into
    @State
    or
    @StateObject
    — they only accept initial values
  • Nested
    ObservableObject
    doesn't propagate changes — pass nested objects directly;
    @Observable
    handles nesting fine

View Composition

  • Extract complex views into separate subviews for better readability and performance
  • Prefer modifiers over conditional views for state changes (maintains view identity)
  • Keep view
    body
    simple and pure (no side effects or complex logic)
  • Use
    @ViewBuilder
    functions only for small, simple sections
  • Prefer
    @ViewBuilder let content: Content
    over closure-based content properties
  • Keep business logic in services and models; views should orchestrate UI flow
  • Action handlers should reference methods, not contain inline logic
  • Views should work in any context (don't assume screen size or presentation style)

Performance

  • Pass only needed values to views (avoid large "config" or "context" objects)
  • Eliminate unnecessary dependencies to reduce update fan-out
  • Check for value changes before assigning state in hot paths
  • Avoid redundant state updates in
    onReceive
    ,
    onChange
    , scroll handlers
  • Minimize work in frequently executed code paths
  • Use
    LazyVStack
    /
    LazyHStack
    for large lists
  • Use stable identity for
    ForEach
    (never
    .indices
    for dynamic content)
  • Ensure constant number of views per
    ForEach
    element
  • Avoid inline filtering in
    ForEach
    (prefilter and cache)
  • Avoid
    AnyView
    in list rows
  • Consider POD views for fast diffing (or wrap expensive views in POD parents)
  • Suggest image downsampling when
    UIImage(data:)
    is encountered (as optional optimization)
  • Avoid layout thrash (deep hierarchies, excessive
    GeometryReader
    )
  • Gate frequent geometry updates by thresholds
  • Use
    Self._logChanges()
    or
    Self._printChanges()
    to debug unexpected view updates

Animations

  • Use
    .animation(_:value:)
    with value parameter (deprecated version without value is too broad)
  • Use
    withAnimation
    for event-driven animations (button taps, gestures)
  • Prefer transforms (
    offset
    ,
    scale
    ,
    rotation
    ) over layout changes (
    frame
    ) for performance
  • Transitions require animations outside the conditional structure
  • Custom
    Animatable
    implementations must have explicit
    animatableData
  • Use
    .phaseAnimator
    for multi-step sequences (iOS 17+)
  • Use
    .keyframeAnimator
    for precise timing control (iOS 17+)
  • Animation completion handlers need
    .transaction(value:)
    for reexecution
  • Implicit animations override explicit animations (later in view tree wins)

Accessibility

  • Prefer
    Button
    over
    onTapGesture
    for tappable elements (free VoiceOver support)
  • Use
    @ScaledMetric
    for custom numeric values that should scale with Dynamic Type
  • Group related elements with
    accessibilityElement(children: .combine)
    for joined labels
  • Provide
    accessibilityLabel
    when default labels are unclear or missing
  • Use
    accessibilityRepresentation
    for custom controls that should behave like native ones

Liquid Glass (iOS 26+)

Only adopt when explicitly requested by the user.

  • Use native
    glassEffect
    ,
    GlassEffectContainer
    , and glass button styles
  • Wrap multiple glass elements in
    GlassEffectContainer
  • Apply
    .glassEffect()
    after layout and visual modifiers
  • Use
    .interactive()
    only for tappable/focusable elements
  • Use
    glassEffectID
    with
    @Namespace
    for morphing transitions

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/swiftui-expert-skill
, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open
metadata.json
,
ORIGIN.md
, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Load only the files that materially change the answer, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated

SKILL.md
, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported: Philosophy

This skill focuses on facts and best practices, not architectural opinions:

  • We don't enforce specific architectures (e.g., MVVM, VIPER)
  • We do encourage separating business logic for testability
  • We optimize for performance and maintainability
  • We follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and API design patterns

Imported: Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
