## What it does

The skill guides work with Liquid Glass surfaces, including button styles, tint, interactive effects, and `GlassEffectContainer` grouping. It also covers transitions between changing views, scroll boundary styling, background extension, and toolbar spacing.

Its review checklist considers what each element does, modifier order, availability, and accessibility settings. Earlier iOS releases need a fallback because the covered effects target iOS 26 and later. The guidance distinguishes tappable controls from static status elements, so a decorative badge does not get treated like an action.

## When to use it
- style a SwiftUI button with Liquid Glass
- group glass views in a shared container
- animate glass elements as views appear or disappear
- review availability and fallback behavior for older iOS releases

## Example prompts
- Add Liquid Glass styling to this button and keep an alternative for iOS versions before 26.
- Review whether these glass views belong in one `GlassEffectContainer`.
- Add a morphing transition when this panel reveals its extra control.
