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 ehmo/platform-design-skills at dc2be825d8.

    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 ipados-design-guidelines skill provides access to Apple's official Human Interface Guidelines specifically tailored for iPadOS. It enables AI agents to retrieve detailed specifications on layout, typography, and interaction patterns unique to the iPad ecosystem.

When to use it

  • Designing apps that leverage split-view multitasking or slide-over interfaces.
  • Ensuring text and UI elements meet accessibility standards for larger touch targets.
  • Implementing dynamic type scaling to accommodate various font sizes on iPad screens.
  • Creating consistent navigation structures across different iPadOS versions.

Key capabilities

  • Access to layout constraints specific to tablet form factors.
  • Guidelines for touch interaction and gesture support.
  • Typography rules optimized for readability on large displays.
  • Visual design standards including color usage and iconography.

Example prompts

  • "What are the recommended touch target sizes for buttons in iPadOS applications?"
  • "How should I structure a split-view interface according to Apple's iPad guidelines?"
  • "List the typography scaling rules for dynamic type on iPad."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent queries specific sections of the guidelines relevant to the current iPadOS version, as features like Stage Manager may have unique requirements. Always verify that design choices prioritize the distinct use cases of tablets over mobile phones or desktops.
