description: Clinic-architecture-aligned iOS animation craft guidelines for SwiftUI (iOS 26 / Swift 6.2) covering motion tokens, spring physics, gesture continuity, spatial transitions, micro-interactions, and accessibility. Enforces @Equatable on animated views and keeps animation state aligned with Domain/Data feature boundaries. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring SwiftUI animation code under the clinic modular MVVM-C architecture.

# dot-skills — Airbnb iOS SwiftUI Animations Best Practices

Opinionated, strict animation craft guide for SwiftUI iOS 26 / Swift 6.2 apps. Contains 50 rules across 8 categories, prioritized by impact. Derived from Airbnb Engineering motion patterns, Apple WWDC sessions, and Apple Human Interface Guidelines. Mandates @Equatable on every animated view, motion tokens for all spring/timing values, and design system tokens for layout.

## Mandated Architecture Alignment

This skill is designed to work alongside `swift-ui-architect` and `ios-design-system`. All code examples follow the same non-negotiable constraints:

- `@Equatable` macro on every view (Airbnb measured 15% scroll hitch reduction)
- `@Observable` for complex animation state that involves business logic triggers
- `@State` for view-owned animation state (toggle booleans, drag offsets)
- Design system tokens: `Spacing.xs/sm/md/lg`, `Radius.sm/md/lg` — zero hardcoded layout numbers
- Motion tokens: `Motion.standard/responsive/playful` — zero scattered spring literals
- Semantic colors: `.backgroundSurface`, `.accentPrimary` — no raw Color literals in views
- Feature animations remain presentation-only; data/network concerns stay in Data package

## Scope & Relationship to Sibling Skills

This skill is the **motion layer** — it teaches how to BUILD fluid, performant animations. When loaded alongside sibling skills:

| Sibling Skill | Its Focus | This Skill's Focus |
|---------------|-----------|-------------------|
| `swift-ui-architect` | **Architecture** (modular MVVM-C, route shells, protocol boundaries) | **Animation architecture** (motion tokens, spring selection, orchestration) |
| `ios-design-system` | **Design system infrastructure** (tokens, styles, governance) | **Motion tokens and animated component patterns** |
| `ios-hig` | **HIG compliance** patterns | **Motion-specific HIG** (reduce motion, spatial continuity) |

**Out of scope:** Designer-authored vector animations (use [Lottie](https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios) for After Effects exports). Complex UIKit transition controllers (see Airbnb's [declarative transition framework](https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/motion-engineering-at-scale-5ffabfc878)). This skill covers programmatic SwiftUI animations only.


## Clinic Architecture Contract (iOS 26 / Swift 6.2)

All guidance in this skill assumes the clinic modular MVVM-C architecture:

- Feature modules import `Domain` + `DesignSystem` only (never `Data`, never sibling features)
- App target is the convergence point and owns `DependencyContainer`, concrete coordinators, and Route Shell wiring
- `Domain` stays pure Swift and defines models plus repository, `*Coordinating`, `ErrorRouting`, and `AppError` contracts
- `Data` owns SwiftData/network/sync/retry/background I/O and implements Domain protocols
- Read/write flow defaults to stale-while-revalidate reads and optimistic queued writes
- ViewModels call repository protocols directly (no default use-case/interactor layer)

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:
- Adding animations to SwiftUI views or transitions
- Building gesture-driven interactions (drag, swipe, pan)
- Connecting views with spatial transitions (expand/collapse, navigation morphs)
- Designing micro-interactions (button press, toggle, loading states)
- Making content changes feel physical (number rolls, symbol replacements)
- Choreographing multi-element animation sequences (KeyframeAnimator, PhaseAnimator)
- Defining motion tokens for a design system
- Reviewing animation code for performance, accessibility, and architecture compliance
