admin b723e2bd7d Reorganize: Move all skills to skills/ folder
- Created skills/ directory
- Moved 272 skills to skills/ subfolder
- Kept agents/ at root level
- Kept installation scripts and docs at root level

Repository structure:
- skills/           - All 272 skills from skills.sh
- agents/           - Agent definitions
- *.sh, *.ps1       - Installation scripts
- README.md, etc.   - Documentation

description: Best practices and example-driven guidance for building SwiftUI views and components. Use when creating or refactoring SwiftUI UI, designing tab architecture with TabView, composing screens, or needing component-specific patterns and examples.

# SwiftUI UI Patterns
## Quick start
Choose a track based on your goal:
### Existing project
- Identify the feature or screen and the primary interaction model (list, detail, editor, settings, tabbed).
- Find a nearby example in the repo with `rg "TabView\("` or similar, then read the closest SwiftUI view.
- Apply local conventions: prefer SwiftUI-native state, keep state local when possible, and use environment injection for shared dependencies.
- Choose the relevant component reference from `references/components-index.md` and follow its guidance.
- Build the view with small, focused subviews and SwiftUI-native data flow.
### New project scaffolding
- Start with `references/app-scaffolding-wiring.md` to wire TabView + NavigationStack + sheets.
- Add a minimal `AppTab` and `RouterPath` based on the provided skeletons.
- Choose the next component reference based on the UI you need first (TabView, NavigationStack, Sheets).
- Expand the route and sheet enums as new screens are added.
## General rules to follow
- Use modern SwiftUI state (`@State`, `@Binding`, `@Observable`, `@Environment`) and avoid unnecessary view models.
- Prefer composition; keep views small and focused.
- Use async/await with `.task` and explicit loading/error states.
- Maintain existing legacy patterns only when editing legacy files.
- Follow the project's formatter and style guide.
- **Sheets**: Prefer `.sheet(item:)` over `.sheet(isPresented:)` when state represents a selected model. Avoid `if let` inside a sheet body. Sheets should own their actions and call `dismiss()` internally instead of forwarding `onCancel`/`onConfirm` closures.
## Workflow for a new SwiftUI view
1. Define the view's state and its ownership location.
2. Identify dependencies to inject via `@Environment`.
3. Sketch the view hierarchy and extract repeated parts into subviews.
4. Implement async loading with `.task` and explicit state enum if needed.
5. Add accessibility labels or identifiers when the UI is interactive.
6. Validate with a build and update usage callsites if needed.
## Component references
Use `references/components-index.md` as the entry point. Each component reference should include:
- Intent and best-fit scenarios.
- Minimal usage pattern with local conventions.
- Pitfalls and performance notes.
- Paths to existing examples in the current repo.
## Sheet patterns
### Item-driven sheet (preferred)
```swift
@State private var selectedItem: Item?
.sheet(item: $selectedItem) { item in
EditItemSheet(item: item)
}
```
### Sheet owns its actions
```swift
struct EditItemSheet: View {
@Environment(\.dismiss) private var dismiss
@Environment(Store.self) private var store
let item: Item
@State private var isSaving = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button(isSaving ? "Saving…" : "Save") {
Task { await save() }
}
}
}
private func save() async {
isSaving = true
await store.save(item)
dismiss()
}
}
```
## Adding a new component reference
- Create `references/<component>.md`.
- Keep it short and actionable; link to concrete files in the current repo.
- Update `references/components-index.md` with the new entry.
