What it does

Swiftui Patterns is an agent skill from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills. Builds and reviews SwiftUI views with modern MV architecture, state, composition, isolated previews, and migration guidance. Covers @Observable ownership, @State/@Bindable/@Environment wiring, view decomposition, ViewModifiers, environment values, .task loading, iOS 26+ handoffs, Writing Tools, clipboard availability, and performance. Use when structuring SwiftUI state, managing @Observable, composing views, previewing meaningful UI states, or correcting SwiftUI patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/architecture-patterns.md` and `references/deprecated-migration.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with SwiftUI and iOS. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for iOS 26+, Swift 6.3, SwiftUI, and modern Apple frameworks.

When your agent uses it

  • Structuring SwiftUI state
  • Managing @Observable
  • Composing views
  • Previewing meaningful UI states

Example prompts

  • “Use the swiftui-patterns skill to build and reviews SwiftUI views with modern MV architecture, state, composition, isolated previews, and migration…”
  • “/swiftui-patterns”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Record the current state ownership, actions, side effects, navigation, and lifecycle behavior.
  2. Choose the smallest MV/state/composition change that preserves that contract.
  3. Build after each structural step; fix compiler and isolation errors before continuing.
  4. Render deterministic previews for loaded, loading, empty, and error states as applicable, including required environment dependencies.
  5. Exercise important interactions and side effects. If behavior changes, restore the fixture, fix the smallest boundary, and rerun the same…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d90fd1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are swift).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • sosumi.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Swiftui Patterns loads about 4.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~30k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,723 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~123
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~30k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,723 words (~4,947 tokens).

“Modern SwiftUI patterns targeting iOS 26+ with Swift 6.3. Covers architecture, state management, view composition, environment wiring, async loading, design polish, and platform/share integration. Navigation, layout, animation, and Liquid Glass patterns live in dedicated sibling skills. Patterns are backward-compatible to…”
