## Description

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.

# SwiftUI Patterns

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 iOS 17 unless noted.

**Scope boundary:** This skill covers architecture, state ownership, composition, environment wiring, async loading, and related SwiftUI app structure patterns. Detailed navigation patterns are covered in the `swiftui-navigation` skill, including `NavigationStack`, `NavigationSplitView`, sheets, tabs, and deep-linking patterns. Detailed layout, container, and component patterns are covered in the `swiftui-layout-components` skill, including stacks, grids, lists, scroll view patterns, forms, controls, search UI with `.searchable`, overlays, and related layout components. Detailed animation choreography is covered in `swiftui-animation`. Liquid Glass adoption, custom glass controls, scroll edge effects, `.scrollEdgeEffectStyle`, and `.backgroundExtensionEffect` are covered in `swiftui-liquid-glass`.
