Refactor a SwiftUI view file for consistent property ordering, MV patterns, view model handling, and Observation usage; split an oversized body via same-file computed view properties or MARK-organized extensions. Use when asked to clean up a SwiftUI view's layout, reorder its properties, or standardize dependency/view-model initialization. For extracting reusable subviews, @ViewBuilder, container patterns, AnyView, or ZStack vs overlay/background composition, use swiftui-expert-skill instead.
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
# SwiftUI View Refactor
## View Ordering (top to bottom)
1. Environment properties
2. `private`/`public` `let` constants
3. `@State` / other stored properties
4. Computed `var` (non-view)
5. `init`
6. `body`
7. Computed view builders / view helpers
8. Helper / async functions
## Core Guidelines
### 1) Prefer MV (Model-View) Patterns
- Default to MV: views are lightweight state expressions; models/services own business logic
- Favor `@State`, `@Environment`, `@Query`, `task`, and `onChange` for orchestration
- Inject services and shared models via `@Environment`
- Split large views into smaller views instead of introducing a view model
### 2) Split Large Bodies
If `body` grows beyond a screen or has multiple logical sections, split it within this file:
```swift
var body: some View {
VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 16) {
HeaderSection(title: title, isPinned: isPinned)
DetailsSection(details: details)
ActionsSection(onSave: onSave, onCancel: onCancel)
}
}
```
Or use computed view properties in the same file:
```swift
var body: some View {
List {
header
filters
results
footer
}
}
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/swiftui-view-refactor@sha256:8af59d4b4abacc94The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260725.3f0d943, 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.
