What it does
Implement, review, or improve SwiftUI gesture handling. Use when adding tap, long press, drag, magnify, or rotate gestures, composing gestures with simultaneously/sequenced/exclusively, managing transient state with @GestureState, resolving parent/child gesture conflicts with highPriorityGesture or simultaneousGesture, building custom Gesture protocol conformances, or migrating from deprecated MagnificationGesture to MagnifyGesture or using the newer RotateGesture.
SwiftUI Gestures (iOS 26+)
Review, write, and fix SwiftUI gesture interactions. Apply modern gesture APIs with correct composition, state management, and conflict resolution using Swift 6.3 patterns.
Scope boundary: This skill owns SwiftUI gesture recognition, composition,
gesture state, and gesture-specific accessibility alternatives. Broader
SwiftUI architecture/state ownership belongs in swiftui-patterns; list,
scroll, form, and control layout belongs in swiftui-layout-components; broad
UIKit bridging belongs in swiftui-uikit-interop.
When correcting Apple API availability, deprecation, or behavior claims, cite the relevant Sosumi or official Apple documentation URL in the response.

Gesture Overview
| Gesture | Type | Value | Since |
|---|---|---|---|
TapGesture | Discrete | Void | iOS 13 |
LongPressGesture | Discrete | Bool | iOS 13 |
DragGesture | Continuous | DragGesture.Value | iOS 13 |
MagnifyGesture | Continuous | MagnifyGesture.Value | iOS 17 |
RotateGesture | Continuous | RotateGesture.Value | iOS 17 |
SpatialTapGesture | Discrete | SpatialTapGesture.Value | iOS 16 |
Discrete gestures fire once (.onEnded). Continuous gestures stream
updates (.onChanged, .onEnded, .updating).
TapGesture
Recognizes one or more taps. Use the count parameter for multi-tap.
