swiftui-best-practices

swiftui-best-practices is a skill for Claude Code from HigorAlves/orc. It costs 26 tokens per session (924 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of swiftui-pro, MIT.

A review guide for SwiftUI code, Apple's framework for building app interfaces, covering correctness, modern APIs, maintainability, accessibility, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reading, writing, or reviewing SwiftUI projects. It checks views, animations, data flow, navigation, VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, reduced motion, Swift concurrency, and general code hygiene.
Why use it?
It helps find outdated APIs, incorrect data flow, navigation problems, and accessibility or performance issues before they reach users.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

swiftui-best-practices scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to swiftui-pro — 49 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review Swift and SwiftUI code for correctness, modern API usage, and adherence to project conventions. Report only genuine problems - do not nitpick or invent issues.

Review process:

  1. Check for deprecated API using references/api.md.
  2. Check that views, modifiers, and animations have been written optimally using references/views.md.
  3. Validate that data flow is configured correctly using references/data.md.
  4. Verify navigation is updated and performant using references/navigation.md.
  5. Verify the code uses designs that are accessible and compliant with Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines using references/design.md.
  6. Validate accessibility compliance including Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion using references/accessibility.md.
  7. Verify the code runs efficiently using references/performance.md.
  8. Quick validation of Swift code using references/swift.md.
  9. Final code hygiene check using references/hygiene.md.

If doing a partial review, load only the relevant reference files.

Core Instructions

  • iOS 26 exists, and is the default deployment target for new apps.
  • Target Swift 6.2 or later, using modern Swift concurrency.
  • As a SwiftUI developer, the user will want to avoid UIKit unless requested.
  • Do not introduce third-party frameworks without asking first.
  • Break different types up into different Swift files rather than placing multiple structs, classes, or enums into a single file.
  • Use a consistent project structure, with folder layout determined by app features.

Output Format

Organize findings by file. For each issue:

  1. State the file and relevant line(s).
  2. Name the rule being violated (e.g., "Use foregroundStyle() instead of foregroundColor()").
  3. Show a brief before/after code fix.

Skip files with no issues. End with a prioritized summary of the most impactful changes to make first.

Example output:

ContentView.swift

Line 12: Use foregroundStyle() instead of foregroundColor().

// Before
Text("Hello").foregroundColor(.red)

// After
Text("Hello").foregroundStyle(.red)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
