Axiom Swiftui

SwiftUI

You MUST use this skill for ANY SwiftUI work including views, state, navigation, layout, animations, architecture, gestures, and debugging.

<!-- AXIOM_AUDITOR_INLINE_BEGIN — auto-maintained by scripts/build-inlined-auditors.ts; do not hand-edit -->

Not on Claude Code? Where this router says "Launch some-auditor agent", read that auditor's file in this suite and follow it inline — the same procedure, needing only file search and read. Available here: skills/swiftui-architecture-auditor.md, skills/swiftui-layout-auditor.md, skills/swiftui-nav-auditor.md, skills/swiftui-performance-analyzer.md, skills/textkit-auditor.md, skills/ux-flow-auditor.md. Homed in another suite: axiom-design/skills/liquid-glass-auditor.md. Agents that need Bash — builds, tests, simulators, crash symbolication — stay Claude Code-only; there is no inline equivalent for those.

Quick Reference

Non-SwiftUI UI Routes

These topics are part of the broader iOS UI domain but live in separate suites:

UIKit issues

• Auto Layout conflicts → See axiom-uikit (skills/auto-layout-debugging.md)
• Animation timing → See axiom-uikit (skills/uikit-animation-debugging.md)
• SwiftUI ↔ UIKit bridging → See axiom-uikit (skills/uikit-bridging.md)

Design & guidelines

• Liquid Glass adoption → See axiom-design (skills/liquid-glass.md)
• SF Symbols → See axiom-design (skills/sf-symbols.md)
• HIG compliance → See axiom-design (skills/hig.md)
• Typography → See axiom-design (skills/typography-ref.md)
• TextKit/rich text → See axiom-uikit (skills/textkit-ref.md)

Other

• tvOS (focus, remote, text input) → See axiom-swift (skills/tvos.md)
• App-level composition (root, auth, scenes) → See axiom-design (skills/app-composition.md)
• Drag/drop, sharing, copy/paste → See axiom-swift (skills/transferable-ref.md)
• VoiceOver, Dynamic Type → /skill axiom-accessibility
• UI test flakiness → /skill axiom-testing
• UX dead ends, dismiss traps → Launch ux-flow-auditor agent

watchOS-specific patterns

• Glanceable UI, watch navigation, Smart Stack widgets → See axiom-watchos

Conflict Resolution

axiom-swiftui vs axiom-performance: When UI is slow (e.g., "SwiftUI List slow"):

1. Try axiom-swiftui FIRST — Domain-specific fixes (LazyVStack, view identity, @State optimization) often solve UI performance in 5 minutes
2. Only use axiom-performance if domain fixes don't help — Profiling takes longer and may confirm what domain knowledge already knows
