Focus Engine

Focus behavior for SwiftUI and UIKit apps targeting iOS 26+, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS connected-input paths. Covers keyboard focus, directional focus, scene-focused values, focus restoration, and UIKit focus guides. focusSection() guidance in this skill applies to macOS and tvOS. visionOS gaze-driven hover is an input affordance, not focus. Accessibility-specific focus for VoiceOver and Switch Control lives in the ios-accessibility skill.

When a request mixes focus with accessibility or spatial input, keep the boundary explicit:

• Use this skill for keyboard, remote, game-controller, and scene focus behavior.
• For visionOS, describe gaze, direct touch, and pointer targeting as hover/input affordances, not focus.
• For VoiceOver, Switch Control, Voice Control, or accessibility element ordering, give only a brief handoff to ios-accessibility.
