Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    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.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned raintree-technology/apple-hig-skills at 3ec08f5a6f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides foundational knowledge of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). It enables AI agents to understand and apply principles related to user interface design, accessibility, and overall usability within the Apple ecosystem. The skill covers core concepts like navigation, controls, and visual design conventions for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS applications.

When to use it

  • Designing a new app: Ensure your application adheres to Apple's established design patterns and guidelines.
  • Reviewing existing UI designs: Evaluate current interfaces against HIG principles to identify areas for improvement in usability and accessibility.
  • Creating documentation for developers: Generate clear and concise guidance on implementing Apple’s UI standards.
  • Automating UI testing: Verify that new features or design changes comply with the HIG.

Key capabilities

  • Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) knowledge base
  • macOS UI conventions
  • iOS UI conventions
  • watchOS UI conventions
  • tvOS UI conventions
  • Accessibility guidelines

Example prompts

  • "Explain how to implement a tab bar in iOS according to HIG."
  • "What are the recommended font sizes for labels on macOS?"
  • "Describe best practices for designing navigation menus in watchOS apps based on Apple's guidelines."
  • “How does HIG address accessibility concerns for users with visual impairments?”

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes a basic understanding of UI/UX principles. While it provides guidance, always refer to the official Apple Human Interface Guidelines documentation for the most up-to-date and comprehensive information.
