Scope and Compatibility

This skill owns ordinary stacks, grids, lists, scroll views, forms, controls, search UI, and overlays. Route clipping, unintended overlap, keyboard obstruction, and adaptation across window sizes, orientation, Dynamic Type, or localization to swiftui-responsive-layout. Route state ownership to swiftui-patterns, navigation and modal policy to swiftui-navigation, gestures to swiftui-gestures, motion to swiftui-animation, and measured performance problems to swiftui-performance.
