Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides access to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) platforms. It allows AI agents to retrieve and present information about specific platform guidelines, ensuring consistency with Apple’s design standards for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The agent can answer questions related to UI elements, interaction patterns, and accessibility considerations across these operating systems.
When to use it
- Design QA: Verify that a user interface adheres to Apple's HIG for a specific platform (e.g., iOS 17).
- Development Guidance: Get clarification on best practices for implementing UI components in macOS applications.
- Accessibility Review: Determine the correct accessibility implementation for a control within watchOS.
- Platform Migration: Understand differences between guidelines across platforms when migrating an application (e.g., from iOS to iPadOS).
Key capabilities
- Access to Apple HIG documentation.
- Platform-specific guideline retrieval (iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS).
- Information on UI elements and interaction patterns.
- Accessibility guidance for various platforms.
Example prompts
- "What are the guidelines for using tab bars in iOS 17?"
- "How should I implement a date picker in macOS Ventura according to Apple's HIG?"
- "What accessibility considerations apply to buttons on watchOS?"
- “Explain the best practices for alert presentation on tvOS.”
Tips & gotchas
The accuracy of responses depends on the completeness and currency of the underlying HIG documentation. Be aware that guidelines can change with new operating system releases, so always verify information against official Apple resources when possible.
