swiftui-advanced

swiftui-advanced is a skill for Claude Code from johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering. It costs 60 tokens per session (637 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to advanced SwiftUI, Apple's framework for building app interfaces with Swift. It covers combining gestures, adapting layouts to different screen sizes, choosing app architecture, and improving performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building multi-touch interactions, layouts that adapt across devices or window sizes, or deciding between MVVM, TCA, and simpler designs.
Why use it?
It helps resolve design and performance problems that go beyond basic SwiftUI views.

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-advanced 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SwiftUI Advanced

Advanced SwiftUI patterns for gesture composition, adaptive layouts, architecture decisions, and performance optimization.

Reference Loading Guide

ALWAYS load reference files if there is even a small chance the content may be required. It's better to have the context than to miss a pattern or make a mistake.

Reference Load When
Gestures Composing multiple gestures, GestureState, custom recognizers
Adaptive Layout ViewThatFits, AnyLayout, size classes, iOS 26 free-form windows
Architecture MVVM vs TCA decision, State-as-Bridge, property wrapper selection
Performance Instruments 26, view body optimization, unnecessary updates

Core Workflow

  1. Identify pattern category from user's question
  2. Load relevant reference for detailed patterns and code examples
  3. Apply pattern following the decision trees and anti-patterns
  4. Verify using provided checklists or profiling guidance

Decision Trees

Gesture Composition

  • Both gestures at same time? -> .simultaneously
  • One must complete before next? -> .sequenced
  • Only one should win? -> .exclusively

Layout Adaptation

  • Pick best-fitting variant? -> ViewThatFits
  • Animated H/V switch? -> AnyLayout
  • Need actual dimensions? -> onGeometryChange

Architecture Selection

  • Small app, Apple patterns? -> @Observable + State-as-Bridge
  • Complex presentation logic? -> MVVM with @Observable
  • Rigorous testability needed? -> TCA

Common Mistakes

  1. Gesture composition order matters.simultaneously and .sequenced have different trigger timing. Swapping them silently changes behavior. Understand gesture semantics before using.

  2. ViewThatFits over-used — ViewThatFits remeasures on every view change. For animated H/V switches, use AnyLayout instead. Use ViewThatFits only for static variant selection.

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.
