Skill instructions
View Refactor Overview Refactor macOS views toward small, explicit, stable scene and view types. Default to native SwiftUI for layout, selection, commands, and settings. Reach for AppKit only at the narrow edges where desktop behavior truly requires it. Core Guidelines 1) Model scenes explicitly - Break the app into meaningful scene roots: main window, settings, utility windows, inspectors, or menu bar extras. - Do not let one giant root view silently own every desktop surface. 2) Keep a predictable file shape - Follow this ordering unless the file already has a stronger local convention: - Environment - private/public let - @State / other stored properties - computed var (non-view) - init - body - computed view builders / other view helpers - helper / async functions 2b) Split files by responsibility - For non-trivial apps, do not keep the full app, all views, models, stores, networking clients, process clients, and helpers in one Swift file. - Accept a single Swift file only for tiny
