generators-state-restoration

What problem does it solve?

When users leave an app or the system terminates a scene, the app can lose navigation context, selected tabs, scroll offsets, and in-progress form data; rebuilding that state manually is error-prone and leads to a poor user experience. This skill provides a repeatable, production-ready approach to capture and restore UI state so apps resume exactly where users left off.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Navigation path persistence: Encode and restore NavigationStack paths so deep-linked or multi-step flows return to the correct screen.
• Tab selection and scene-aware storage: Persist TabView selection across launches and support per-scene @SceneStorage or shared UserDefaults/file backends.
• Scroll position and form draft autosave: Track top-visible items and debounce form drafts to Application Support or UserDefaults with clear-on-submit behavior.
• Restore policies and safety: Time-limited restores, ask-before-restore prompts, state versioning and graceful fallbacks for schema changes.
• Use Case: Resume a multi-window iPad app with each window restoring its own navigation stack, selected tab, and unsaved draft text after an update or background termination.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to generate a StateRestorationManager, AppState model, and optional modifiers for NavigationStack, TabView, scroll views, and form drafts targeted to your SwiftUI app.
