Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: developer.apple.com, www.apple.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

The apple-hig-designer skill enables AI agents to apply Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) when designing user interfaces. It ensures that designs are consistent with Apple’s standards, including layout principles, typography, color usage, and accessibility features.

When to use it

  • Designing apps for iOS or macOS platforms where adherence to Apple HIG is required.
  • Creating UI mockups or prototypes that align with Apple's design language.
  • Reviewing existing designs to ensure they meet Apple’s usability and aesthetic standards.

Key capabilities

  • Applies Apple-specific layout and spacing rules.
  • Ensures proper use of typography as defined by Apple HIG.
  • Enforces accessibility guidelines for color contrast, text size, and touch targets.
  • Suggests appropriate iconography and visual elements consistent with Apple’s design system.

Example prompts

  • "Design a settings screen for an iOS app following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines."
  • "Check this UI layout against Apple HIG standards and suggest improvements."
  • "Generate a button style that complies with Apple's accessibility and design guidelines."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure the AI agent has access to up-to-date documentation on Apple’s HIG for accurate results.
  • This skill is best used in conjunction with design tools like Figma or Sketch for visual implementation.
