SKILL.md

Build map and location features for iOS 17+ using SwiftUI MapKit and modern CoreLocation async APIs.

Supports SwiftUI Map views with markers, annotations, polylines, polygons, and circles; includes camera positioning, style options, and interaction modes

Provides CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() async stream for location tracking and CLMonitor for geofencing with up to 20 monitored conditions

Covers geocoding (forward and reverse), local search with autocomplete via MKLocalSearchCompleter, and directions with ETA calculation across multiple transport types

Includes CLServiceSession for explicit authorization management (iOS 18+) and PlaceDescriptor for rich place lookups (iOS 26+)

Common mistakes section and review checklist help avoid battery drain, permission issues, and geocoding failures

MapKit and CoreLocation

Build map-based and location-aware features targeting iOS 17+ with SwiftUI
MapKit and modern CoreLocation async APIs. Use Map with MapContentBuilder
for views, CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() for streaming location, and
CLMonitor for geofencing.

See references/mapkit-patterns.md for extended MapKit patterns and
references/corelocation-patterns.md for CoreLocation patterns.
