Install target

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 johnrogers/claude-swift-engineering at 1dc2cf4d02.

    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

The iOS Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) skill provides AI agents with deep knowledge of Apple’s design standards, enabling them to generate code that strictly adheres to native iOS conventions. It ensures generated Swift or SwiftUI interfaces align with official guidelines regarding layout, typography, and user interaction patterns.

When to use it

  • Building new iOS applications from scratch to ensure immediate compliance with Apple's ecosystem expectations.
  • Refactoring existing codebases to migrate legacy UI components into modern, guideline-compliant structures.
  • Generating documentation or design specs that accurately reflect current iOS best practices.
  • Debugging layout issues where standard Auto Layout or SwiftUI stack modifiers behave unexpectedly.

Key capabilities

  • Access to the latest Human Interface Guidelines for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
  • Knowledge of specific UI component behaviors like navigation bars, tab bars, and sheet presentations.
  • Guidance on accessibility features including Dynamic Type, VoiceOver compatibility, and safe area handling.
  • Understanding of animation principles and motion design standards used in native Apple apps.

Example prompts

"Generate a SwiftUI login screen that follows the latest iOS Human Interface Guidelines for input fields and buttons." "Explain how to implement a custom tab bar controller while maintaining strict adherence to Apple's navigation patterns." "What are the best practices for handling safe areas when creating an app with notched displays?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when paired with specific framework knowledge (e.g., SwiftUI or UIKit) since HIG principles apply across different implementation layers. Always verify that generated code accounts for the latest iOS version updates, as Apple frequently adjusts guidelines to match new OS features.
