What it does
Implement, review, or improve WidgetKit widgets and controls. Use when building Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy, or CarPlay widgets with timeline providers; configurable widgets with AppIntentTimelineProvider; interactive widgets or Control Center controls with Button/Toggle wiring; WidgetKit push reloads, refresh budgets, deep links, Smart Stack relevance, Liquid Glass/accented rendering, widget extension setup, WidgetBundle, App Groups, and entitlements.
WidgetKit
Build home screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, Control Center controls, and StandBy or CarPlay widget surfaces for iOS 26+.
Keep adjacent-framework guidance scoped to WidgetKit integration. Include
ActivityKit and App Intents only where they connect directly to WidgetKit
surfaces; hand off full lifecycle, APNs content-state, Siri/Shortcuts/Spotlight,
or entity-modeling work to sibling activitykit or app-intents skills.
See references/widgetkit-advanced.md for timeline strategies, push-based updates, Xcode setup, and advanced patterns.
