Layout and component patterns for SwiftUI apps targeting iOS 26+ with Swift 6.3. Covers stack and grid layouts, list patterns, scroll views, forms, controls, search, and overlays. Patterns are backward-compatible to iOS 17 unless noted.
Fetches swiftui-layout-components from dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────
│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf
│ ●Cursor(selected)

Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/swiftui-layout-components
Restart Cursor to activate swiftui-layout-components. Access via /swiftui-layout-components in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
Layout and component patterns for SwiftUI apps targeting iOS 26+ with Swift 6.3. Covers stack and grid layouts, list patterns, scroll views, forms, controls, search, and overlays. Patterns are backward-compatible to iOS 17 unless noted.
Non-lazy stacks: Small, fixed content (headers, toolbars, forms with few fields)
Lazy stacks: Large or unknown-size collections, feeds, chat messages
Grid Layouts
Use LazyVGrid for icon pickers, media galleries, and dense visual selections. Use .adaptive columns for layouts that scale across device sizes, or .flexible columns for a fixed column count.
Use .aspectRatio for cell sizing. Never place GeometryReader inside lazy containers -- it forces eager measurement and defeats lazy loading. Use .onGeometryChange (iOS 18+) if you need to read dimensions.
Use @FocusState to manage keyboard focus in input-heavy forms. Wrap in NavigationStack only when presented standalone or in a sheet.

Implementation Guide
Prerequisites
›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
›Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
›Willingness to iterate and refine outputs
Time Estimate
15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity
Steps
1Install skill using provided installation command
2Test with simple use case relevant to your work
3Evaluate output quality and relevance
4Iterate on prompts to improve results
5Integrate into regular workflow if valuable
Common Pitfalls
⚠Expecting perfect results without iteration
⚠Not providing enough context in prompts
⚠Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
⚠Accepting outputs without review and validation
Best Practices
✓ Do
+Start with clear, specific prompts
+Provide relevant context and constraints
+Review and refine all outputs before using
+Iterate to improve output quality
+Document successful prompt patterns
✗ Don't
−Don't use without understanding skill limitations
−Don't skip validation of outputs
−Don't share sensitive information in prompts
−Don't expect skill to replace human judgment
💡 Pro Tips
★Be specific about desired format and style
★Ask for multiple options to choose from
★Request explanations to understand reasoning
★Combine AI efficiency with human expertise
When to Use This
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
Learning Path
1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
