Swiftui Patterns

The swiftui-patterns skill enables AI agents to generate, refactor, and debug SwiftUI code using established design patterns. It helps developers implement complex UI architectures like MVVM or state management without manual boilerplate.

When to use it

• You need to rapidly prototype a new iOS app screen with specific layout requirements.
• Your team requires consistent architectural standards across multiple SwiftUI projects.
• You are refactoring legacy UIKit code into modern, declarative SwiftUI views.
• An AI agent needs to suggest performance optimizations for heavy UI lists or animations.

Key capabilities

• Generates production-ready SwiftUI views adhering to best practices.
• Implements common design patterns such as ViewModels and Combine publishers.
• Refactors existing Swift code into cleaner, more maintainable SwiftUI syntax.
• Provides unit test scaffolding for generated view logic.

Example prompts

• "Create a reusable SwiftUI UserCard component that handles image caching and error states using the MVVM pattern."
• "Refactor this UIKit table view controller to use a SwiftUI List with ForEach and state management via an ObservableObject."
• "Generate a SwiftUI navigation stack for a settings app, including form validation and secure storage integration."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to the latest Xcode SDK documentation to avoid deprecated API usage. When requesting complex patterns, explicitly specify the data flow strategy (e.g., Combine vs. Async/Await) to prevent architectural drift.
