Audit and improve SwiftUI runtime performance from code review and architecture. Use for requests to diagnose slow rendering, janky scrolling, high CPU/memory usage, excessive view updates, or layout thrash in SwiftUI apps, and to provide guidance for user-run Instruments profiling when code review alone is insufficient.

Implement, review, or improve SwiftUI features using the iOS 26+ Liquid Glass API. Use when asked to adopt Liquid Glass in new SwiftUI UI, refactor an existing feature to Liquid Glass, or review Liquid Glass usage for correctness, performance, and design alignment.

Best practices and example-driven guidance for building SwiftUI views and components, including navigation hierarchies, custom view modifiers, and responsive layouts with stacks and grids. Use when creating or refactoring SwiftUI UI, designing tab architecture with TabView, composing screens with VStack/HStack, managing @State or @Binding, building declarative iOS interfaces, or needing component-specific patterns and examples.

Refactor and review SwiftUI view files with strong defaults for small dedicated subviews, MV-over-MVVM data flow, stable view trees, explicit dependency injection, and correct Observation usage. Use when cleaning up a SwiftUI view, splitting long bodies, removing inline actions or side effects, reducing computed `some View` helpers, or standardizing `@Observable` and view model initialization patterns.

Use XcodeBuildMCP to build, run, launch, and debug the current iOS project on a booted simulator. Trigger when asked to run an iOS app, interact with the simulator UI, inspect on-screen state, capture logs/console output, or diagnose runtime behavior using XcodeBuildMCP tools.

Swift Concurrency review and remediation for Swift 6.2+. Use when asked to review Swift Concurrency usage, improve concurrency compliance, or fix Swift concurrency compiler errors in a feature or file. Concrete actions include adding Sendable conformance, applying @MainActor annotations, resolving actor isolation warnings, fixing data race diagnostics, and migrating completion handlers to async/await.

Scaffold, build, and package SwiftPM-based macOS apps without an Xcode project. Use when you need a from-scratch macOS app layout, SwiftPM targets/resources, a custom .app bundle assembly script, or signing/notarization/appcast steps outside Xcode.

Analyze and optimize React component performance issues (slow renders, re-render thrash, laggy lists, expensive computations). Use when asked to profile or improve a React component, reduce re-renders, or speed up UI updates in React apps.

Interact with GitHub using the `gh` CLI. Use `gh issue`, `gh pr`, `gh run`, and `gh api` for issues, PRs, CI runs, and advanced queries. Use when the user asks about GitHub issues, pull requests, workflows, or wants to interact with GitHub repositories from the command line — including tasks like check CI status, create PR, list issues, or query the GitHub API.
