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 access to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) patterns. It allows AI agents to understand and apply these guidelines for creating user interfaces that are consistent with the Apple ecosystem, improving usability and aesthetics. The skill facilitates adherence to established design principles across various platforms like macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

When to use it

  • Designing a new app: Ensure your application follows Apple's UI conventions from the start.
  • Porting an existing app to iOS/macOS: Quickly adapt designs to match platform-specific guidelines.
  • Creating UI components: Generate code snippets or design suggestions that align with HIG patterns.
  • Auditing a user interface: Evaluate an existing design against Apple's best practices for consistency and usability.

Key capabilities

  • Access to Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) documentation.
  • Pattern identification based on descriptions of UI elements.
  • Guidance on implementing specific HIG patterns in code or designs.
  • Platform-specific considerations (macOS, iOS, watchOS, tvOS).

Example prompts

  • "How should I implement a table view on iOS according to Apple's guidelines?"
  • "What is the recommended way to display an alert dialog on macOS?"
  • "Describe the best practices for using navigation bars in watchOS."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill’s effectiveness depends on accurately describing the UI element or desired behavior. Be as specific as possible in your prompts.
  • HIG guidelines evolve; ensure you're referencing the latest version of the documentation for accurate results.
