Does it prefer Storyboards or programmatic UI?

This skill emphasizes programmatic UI with Auto Layout, as it is generally more maintainable, easier to review in git, and less prone to merge conflicts.

What architectural patterns does this skill support?

It primarily supports the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) and Coordinator patterns to ensure a clean separation of concerns and robust navigation logic.

Can this skill help with SwiftUI migration?

Yes, it includes specific best practices for hosting SwiftUI views within UIKit view controllers and wrapping UIKit views for use in SwiftUI projects.

How does it handle complex list views?

It implements modern practices such as UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout and UICollectionViewDiffableDataSource for high-performance, type-safe list management.

Mobile Development

Implements professional iOS architectural patterns and UIKit best practices including MVVM, Coordinators, and modern collection views.

About

This skill empowers Claude to architect robust, scalable iOS applications using UIKit by providing domain-specific guidance on industry-standard design patterns. It focuses on decoupling presentation logic via Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) and centralizing navigation through the Coordinator pattern to eliminate 'Massive View Controllers.' Additionally, it provides implementation patterns for programmatic UI with Auto Layout, modern collection views using Diffable Data Sources, and seamless interoperability between UIKit and SwiftUI, ensuring that mobile codebases remain testable and maintainable.
