What it does

Swiftui Advanced is an agent skill from johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering. Use when implementing gesture composition (simultaneous, sequenced, exclusive), adaptive layouts (ViewThatFits, AnyLayout, size classes), or choosing architecture patterns (MVVM vs TCA vs vanilla, State-as-Bridge). Covers advanced SwiftUI patterns beyond basic views.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/adaptive-layout.md`, `references/architecture.md` and `references/gestures.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development, Responsive design and Software architecture. It works with SwiftUI. The repository describes itself as: A collection of agents and skills to aid in the planning, implementation, documentation and testing of Swift/TCA code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing gesture composition (simultaneous
  • Adaptive layouts (ViewThatFits
  • Choosing architecture patterns (MVVM vs TCA vs vanilla
  • State-as-Bridge)

Example prompts

  • “/swiftui-advanced”

Workflow steps

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

  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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1dc2cf4. 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.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Advanced loads about 757 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 301 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~757
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.6k

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.

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.

ReferenceLoad When
GesturesComposing multiple gestures, GestureState, custom recognizers
Adaptive LayoutViewThatFits, AnyLayout, size classes, iOS 26 free-form windows
ArchitectureMVVM vs TCA decision, State-as-Bridge, property wrapper selection
PerformanceInstruments 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.

  3. onGeometryChange triggering unnecessary updates — Reading geometry changes geometry, which triggers updates, which changes geometry... circular. Use .onGeometryChange only with proper state management to avoid loops.

  4. Architecture mismatch mid-project — Starting with @Observable + State-as-Bridge then realizing you need TCA is expensive. Choose architecture upfront based on complexity (small app = @Observable, complex = TCA).

  5. Ignoring view body optimization — Computing expensive calculations in view body repeatedly kills performance. Move calculations to properties or models. Profile with Instruments 26 before optimizing prematurely.
