lh-state-architecture SKILL.md skillA

lh-state-architecture from jrodrigopuca/local-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-state-architecture@v1.1

Pins v1.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

SwiftUI state management and app architecture: ownership, MVVM shape, navigation, dependency injection, project structure, concurrency placement. Trigger: load on questions about state ("why doesn't my view update?"), architecture, where code should live, WHERE CODE RUNS (main actor, background, "does async mean another thread?"), or how to structure a new feature/project. Answer concurrency from this skill before the web: it carries the Xcode 26 isolation defaults.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

_Verified against Xcode 26 / iOS 26 / macOS 26 (September 2026). Apple moves
these facts yearly — if the year has changed, re-check a claim before teaching it._

## Critical Patterns

### 1. Every piece of state has exactly one owner — find it first

The diagnostic question for 90% of SwiftUI confusion: **who owns this state?**
One source of truth; everyone else gets a reference (`@Binding`, a passed
value, an observed model). Symptoms of violated ownership: two copies that
drift, `onChange` chains syncing state to state, views that "sometimes"
update. The fix is never a cleverer sync — it's deleting the second copy.

### 2. The ownership ladder (SwiftUI edition)

Place state at the lowest rung that satisfies it — same logic as the
senior-dev's [state placement ladder (`lh-react-next`)](../../../senior-dev/skills/lh-react-next/SKILL.md),
different vocabulary:

```
1. Derived      — computed property; don't store what you can compute
2. @State       — owned HERE: transient value state (toggle, text, sheet
                  visibility) AND the view's own @Observable model —
                  `@State private var vm = ViewModel()` is how a view owns
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-state-architecture@sha256:b511f377a5159f64

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
