Stitch → SwiftUI (Native iOS)

You are a Swift/SwiftUI engineer. You convert Stitch mobile designs (deviceType: MOBILE) into native iOS SwiftUI views — .swift files that build and run in Xcode. You follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and produce code that feels like it belongs on iOS.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when:

• The user wants native iOS output from a Stitch design
• The user mentions "SwiftUI", "Xcode", "iOS", "native iOS app"
• The design was generated with deviceType: MOBILE

Note: This skill targets iOS 16+ with SwiftUI. For cross-platform (iOS + Android), use stitch-react-native-components instead.

Prerequisites

• Stitch design with deviceType: MOBILE
• Xcode 15+ on macOS
• Swift 5.9+

Step 1: Retrieve the design

1. list_tools → find Stitch MCP prefix
2. [prefix]:get_screen → fetch metadata
3. Download HTML: bash scripts/fetch-stitch.sh "[htmlCode.downloadUrl]" "temp/source.html"
4. Check screenshot.downloadUrl — confirm mobile layout before converting

Only convert MOBILE designs. Desktop Stitch designs don't map well to SwiftUI without significant layout rethinking.

Step 2: Xcode project structure

MyApp/
├── MyApp.swift              ← @main entry point
├── ContentView.swift        ← Root view (TabView or NavigationStack)
├── Theme/
│   ├── ThemeTokens.swift    ← Design token constants
│   └── Color+App.swift      ← Color extension with semantic names
├── Views/
│   ├── [ScreenName]View.swift   ← One file per Stitch screen
│   └── Components/
│       └── [Name]View.swift     ← Reusable component views
├── Models/
│   └── MockData.swift       ← Static preview data
└── Assets.xcassets/
    └── Colors/              ← Color assets for light/dark mode

Step 3: The HTML/CSS → SwiftUI layout mapping

This is the core translation. Apply these rules to every element in the Stitch HTML:

Layout containers

Spacing mapping

SwiftUI uses points (1pt ≈ 1dp on non-retina, 2px on Retina @2x):

// Spacing from Tailwind → SwiftUI points
// p-1(4px)→4  p-2(8px)→8  p-3(12px)→12  p-4(16px)→16
// p-6(24px)→24  p-8(32px)→32  p-12(48px)→48  p-16(64px)→64

Geometry mapping

// Tailwind rounded- → SwiftUI cornerRadius
// rounded-sm → .cornerRadius(4)
// rounded-md → .cornerRadius(8)
// rounded-lg → .cornerRadius(12)
// rounded-xl → .cornerRadius(16)
// rounded-full → .clipShape(Capsule())  or .cornerRadius(9999)

Content elements

Navigation patterns

Step 4: Design tokens in SwiftUI

Color extension (semantic tokens)

// Theme/Color+App.swift

import SwiftUI

extension Color {
  // Extract these hex values from the Stitch HTML's tailwind.config

  // Backgrounds
  static let appBackground = Color("AppBackground")    // Asset catalog
  static let appSurface = Color("AppSurface")

  // Brand
  static let appPrimary = Color("AppPrimary")
  static let appPrimaryFg = Color("AppPrimaryForeground")

  // Text
  static let appText = Color("AppText")
  static let appTextMuted = Color("AppTextMuted")

  // Borders
  static let appBorder = Color("AppBorder")
}

Color asset catalog (light + dark)

Create named Color Sets in Assets.xcassets/Colors/:

For each color (e.g., AppPrimary):

• Any Appearance: #6366F1 (the light mode value)
• Dark Appearance: #818CF8 (lighter shade for dark bg)

Alternatively, define programmatically (no asset catalog needed):

// Theme/ThemeTokens.swift

import SwiftUI

struct ThemeTokens {
  let background: Color
  let surface: Color
  let primary: Color
  let primaryFg: Color
  let text: Color
  let textMuted: Color
  let border: Color

  static let light = ThemeTokens(
    background: Color(hex: "#FFFFFF"),
    surface:    Color(hex: "#F4F4F5"),
    primary:    Color(hex: "#6366F1"),
    primaryFg:  Color(hex: "#FFFFFF"),
    text:       Color(hex: "#09090B"),
    textMuted:  Color(hex: "#71717A"),
    border:     Color(hex: "#E4E4E7")
  )

  static let dark = ThemeTokens(
    background: Color(hex: "#09090B"),
    surface:    Color(hex: "#18181B"),
    primary:    Color(hex: "#818CF8"),   // Lightened for dark bg
    primaryFg:  Color(hex: "#09090B"),
    text:       Color(hex: "#FAFAFA"),
    textMuted:  Color(hex: "#A1A1AA"),
    border:     Color(hex: "#27272A")
  )
}

// Convenience: Color from hex string
extension Color {
  init(hex: String) {
    let hex = hex.trimmingCharacters(in: CharacterSet.alphanumerics.inverted)
    var int: UInt64 = 0
    Scanner(string: hex).scanHexInt64(&int)
    let r = Double((int & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255
    let g = Double((int & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255
    let b = Double(int & 0x0000FF) / 255
    self.init(red: r, green: g, blue: b)
  }
}

Environment-based theme access

// Anywhere in a view — automatic dark mode
@Environment(\.colorScheme) var colorScheme

var theme: ThemeTokens {
  colorScheme == .dark ? .dark : .light
}

// Usage
Text("Hello")
  .foregroundStyle(theme.text)
  .background(theme.surface)

Step 5: Component template

// Views/Components/StitchComponentView.swift

import SwiftUI

/// StitchComponent — [describe purpose in one sentence]
struct StitchComponentView: View {
  // MARK: - Properties (equivalent to props)
  let title: String
  var description: String = ""
  var onAction: (() -> Void)? = nil

  // MARK: - Environment
  @Environment(\.colorScheme) private var colorScheme

  private var theme: ThemeTokens {
    colorScheme == .dark ? .dark : .light
  }

  // MARK: - State
  @State private var isPressed = false

  // MARK: - Body
  var body: some View {
    VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 8) {
