What gets created
Default
Features/<Feature>/
├── <Feature>View.swift # Main view
├── <Feature>ViewModel.swift # ViewModel with state + intents
└── <Feature>Row.swift # List row component (if list-based)
Tests/UnitTests/
└── <Feature>ViewModelTests.swift # ViewModel tests
With --with-detail
Features/<Feature>/
├── <Feature>View.swift
├── <Feature>ViewModel.swift
├── <Feature>DetailView.swift # Detail view
└── <Feature>DetailViewModel.swift

Conventions
File naming
- Views:
<Feature>View.swift - ViewModels:
<Feature>ViewModel.swift - Rows/cells:
<Feature>Row.swift - Tests:
<Feature>ViewModelTests.swift
ViewModel pattern
@MainActor final class@Published private(set)for state- Public methods for intents
- Dependencies injected via init
- Uses
PersistenceStoreprotocol (not SwiftData directly)
View pattern
@StateObjectfor owned ViewModel@EnvironmentObjectfor shared services- No business logic in views
- Accessibility labels on controls
Test pattern (Swift Testing)
struct(notXCTestCaseclass)init()for setup (notsetUp())@Test func methodName()(notest_prefix)#expect(condition)for assertions@Test(arguments:)for parameterized tests
Workflow
- Create feature folder under
Features/ - Create View with basic layout
- Create ViewModel with state and intents
- Wire up to DependencyContainer
- Create tests for ViewModel
- Run
./scripts/lint.shand tests to verify
Output
Summarize: files created, how to access the feature, test coverage.
