Overview

This skill targets tvOS platform development with a focus on large-screen UI, the focus system, Siri Remote interactions, and robust media playback. It provides practical guidance and patterns for building Apple TV apps, streaming experiences, and living-room interactions. Use it to accelerate implementation of tvOS 26 features like Liquid Glass and AVKit integration.

How this skill works

Before implementation, spawn three agents via TeamCreate to analyze the codebase, verify tvOS 26 documentation, and check platform patterns: fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase, fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert, and mcp__apple-docs__search_apple_docs. Use the skill to inspect focus management, large UI layout, remote gesture handling, and AVKit playback integration, then implement view and control patterns accordingly. After development, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper to validate patterns, focus behavior, and media flows across devices.

When to use it

Building native Apple TV applications or tvOS-specific features
Creating video and audio streaming apps with AVKit or custom playback
Designing focus-based navigation and large-screen interfaces
Implementing Siri Remote gestures and remote-friendly controls
Supporting multi-user sign-in, profiles, and user switching
Adding game controller input or living-room interactions

Best practices

Design large, legible UI elements readable from 10 feet
Provide clear focus feedback and animated states for navigation
Keep navigation shallow and predictable for remote control users
Optimize media-first experiences with seamless AVKit integration
Ensure remote gestures and voice interactions are discoverable
Support multi-user flows and fast user switching where relevant

Example use cases

A streaming app with a focus-aware home grid, Liquid Glass highlights, and resume playback
A video-on-demand app using AVKit for adaptive playback and picture-in-picture
A catalog browsing experience optimized for Siri Remote gestures and minimal navigation depth
A multi-profile living-room app that switches users and remembers playback positions
An interactive media app that scales UI elements and provides prominent focus states
A game hub that adds game controller support alongside remote navigation

FAQ

Yes. Update controls to use larger hit targets, adopt Liquid Glass effects where appropriate, and verify focus states under tvOS 26 guidelines.

How should I validate focus behavior?

Use the required agent workflow to analyze patterns, implement focusable components with FocusState, and run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper to validate real-device focus transitions and animations.
