How do I fix focus being stuck between two non-adjacent views?

This skill provides code patterns for using UIFocusGuide to create 'bridges' that direct the Focus Engine to the correct target when a user swipes in a specific direction.

Why use coordinated animations instead of standard UIView animations?

Coordinated animations via UIFocusAnimationCoordinator sync with the Focus Engine's internal timing, preventing visual glitches and conflicts during focus transitions.

How do I debug focus movement in my tvOS app?

The skill provides instructions for enabling -UIFocusLoggingEnabled in scheme arguments and using didUpdateFocus overrides to log focus transitions during development.

What is the tvOS Focus Engine skill for Claude?

It is a specialized capability providing AI-driven guidance on implementing and debugging the Apple TV navigation system, including UIKit and SwiftUI focus APIs.

Can this skill help with SwiftUI focus management on tvOS?

Yes, it includes implementation patterns for using @Namespace, focusScope, and the .focused() modifier to manage focus state within SwiftUI views.
