SwiftUI Skills
Focused SwiftUI framework skills — each sub-skill covers one API area in depth.

- Builds custom layouts or containers, or fights lazy-stack/scroll performance (layout)
- Wants alarms or timers with AlarmKit (custom UI, Live Activities, snooze)
- Is creating 3D data visualizations with Swift Charts (Chart3D, SurfacePlot)
- Needs styled text or rich text editing (Text, AttributedString, TextEditor)
- Is implementing or customizing toolbars (customizable toolbars, search integration)
- Wants to embed web content (WebView, WebPage, JavaScript interop)
