Overview
Refactor and review SwiftUI view files to enforce a consistent file structure, apply MV-oriented patterns, and standardize how dependencies, view models, and the Observation framework are used—while preserving existing behavior and layout unless explicitly asked otherwise.
Key Advantages
1.Enforces a clear, repeatable top-to-bottom structure for SwiftUI views (environment, stored properties, computed properties, init, body, helpers).
2.Promotes lightweight, MV-style SwiftUI views that keep business logic out of the view and in models/services.
3.Encourages splitting large view bodies into smaller subviews or local computed views, improving readability and maintainability.
4.Standardizes view model handling by preferring non-optional @State view models initialized via the view’s init, reducing bootstrap/optional pitfalls.
5.Aligns with modern Observation patterns (@Observable + @State in the root view) and discourages redundant wrappers or optional observable state.
Keeps behavior intact by focusing on structural refines
Use Cases
- Cleaning up an overgrown SwiftUI view file where properties, body, and helpers are in an inconsistent order.
- Refactoring a complex view body into smaller subviews or computed view builders while preserving existing behavior.
- Standardizing how a view model is injected and stored (e.g., making an existing optional view model non-optional @State and initializing it in init).
- Migrating or aligning a codebase to modern Observation patterns (storing @Observable models as @State in root views and passing them down explicitly).
- Preparing SwiftUI view files to match a team-wide structure/style guide for readability and code review consistency.

**Judgement:** This skill is a focused, opinionated refactoring assistant for SwiftUI views, well-suited to enforcing consistent structure, MV-style patterns, and modern Observation usage in existing code.
**Strengths & benefits:**
- Produces a predictable file layout (env → properties → init → body → helpers), improving readability and team consistency.
- Encourages small, composable views and clear separation between view state and business logic.
- Normalizes view model handling around non-optional @State initialization and dependency injection through the view’s init.
- Promotes correct usage of the Observation framework for @Observable models.
**Key risks / limitations:**
- Opinionated toward modern SwiftUI/Observation patterns; may not align with projects targeting older OSes or using legacy patterns (e.g., @StateObject/@ObservedObject + Combine) as primary architecture.
- Structural refactors of large views can be intrusive, so diffs may be sizable and require careful review to ensure no subtle behavior changes.
- If the existing architecture intentionally uses heavier view models or different layering, the MV-first bias may conflict with project conventions.
**Recommended scenarios:**
- Use when you explicitly want to clean up, reorder, or standardize SwiftUI view files, especially those that have grown large or inconsistent.
- Use when migrating a codebase toward modern Observation-based patterns and clearer dependency injection in views.
- Avoid or use cautiously in legacy SwiftUI projects with strict architectural constraints or non-Observation-based patterns unless you plan to modernize those areas.
