# axiom-swiftui A routing skill for SwiftUI work: takes a symptom like a stale view or janky scroll and points to the right reference, auditor or debugging path. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 1500 installs · ★ 1229 - Author: CharlesWiltgen - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom/tree/HEAD/axiom-codex/skills/axiom-swiftui/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-20 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/axiom-swiftui ## What it does It works as a dispatcher. Describe the problem — view not updating, layout breaking on rotation, laggy scrolling — and the skill sends you to one of its own reference files: `skills/debugging.md`, `skills/nav.md`, `skills/layout.md`, `skills/swiftui-performance.md`. Separate branches cover animations, gestures, toolbars, sheets and detents, search, previews, iOS 26 APIs and iPhone Duo foldable poses. Under the hood there is a symptom table, a decision tree and a set of auditors such as `axiom-audit-swiftui-layout`, `axiom-audit-swiftui-nav` and `axiom-audit-liquid-glass`. On Claude, tools can be called from the plugin root when hooks are off or `--bare` is set. Auditors that shell out — builds, tests, simulators, crash symbolication — need shell access. The scope stops at SwiftUI. UIKit layout, Liquid Glass adoption, SF Symbols, HIG, TextKit, tvOS and watchOS live in other Axiom packages, and the skill hands you off instead of guessing. When UI is slow, the author suggests trying this skill before profiling, because view identity and `@State` fixes often land faster. Worth checking before you reach for Instruments. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-swiftui -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/axiom-swiftui/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/axiom-swiftui/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-swiftui -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/axiom-swiftui/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-swiftui -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/axiom-swiftui/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install CharlesWiltgen/Axiom axiom-swiftui ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/axiom-swiftui/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-swiftui -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --path axiom-codex/skills/axiom-swiftui ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/axiom-swiftui/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-swiftui -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom/tree/HEAD/axiom-codex/skills/axiom-swiftui/SKILL.md ## When to use it - Trace why a view stops updating after a state change - Repair navigation that still misbehaves after debugging - Keep scroll position and selection alive through iPad rotation - Untangle gesture conflicts between nested components - Speed up list scrolling with view-level fixes before profiling ## Example prompts - My view isn't updating after @State changes — walk through it with axiom-swiftui - Layout breaks on iPad rotation and the list loses its selection. Run axiom-swiftui - List scrolling is janky. Check axiom-swiftui first, profiling after ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
