Axiom Swiftui

SwiftUI

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

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

Automated Scanning

• Architecture audit → Launch swiftui-architecture-auditor agent
• Performance scan → Launch swiftui-performance-analyzer agent or /axiom:audit swiftui-performance
• Navigation audit → Launch swiftui-nav-auditor agent or /axiom:audit swiftui-nav
• Layout audit → Launch swiftui-layout-auditor agent or /axiom:audit swiftui-layout
• UX flow audit → Launch ux-flow-auditor agent or /axiom:audit ux-flow
• Liquid Glass scan → Launch liquid-glass-auditor agent or /axiom:audit liquid-glass (detects migration opportunities AND adoption-completeness gaps: variant discipline for media surfaces, glass-on-glass nesting, unstyled pre-26 fallbacks, semantic toolbar placement, Tab(role: .search), the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility opt-out; scores ADOPTED / PARTIAL / NOT ADOPTED)
• TextKit scan → Launch textkit-auditor agent or /axiom:audit textkit (detects fallback triggers, glyph APIs that corrupt complex scripts, missing Writing Tools wiring, AND architectural gaps like missing fallback observation, SwiftUI wrappers dropping TextKit 2 properties, missing isWritingToolsActive guards; scores MODERN / MIXED / LEGACY)
