Use when designing, reviewing, or implementing Settings/Preferences for Apple-platform apps — what belongs in Settings vs Inspector/Toolbar, grouped forms, native controls, secure storage, launch at login, and destructive actions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Apple HIG Settings

Use this skill when designing, reviewing, or implementing Settings/Preferences for Apple-platform apps. It covers macOS `Settings`, iOS Settings screens, app preferences, model configuration, shortcuts, launch at login, folders, privacy, accounts, appearance, and advanced options.

## Core rule

```
Settings are for persistent preferences, not one-time actions or navigation.
```

## When to use this skill

Use for:

- Default model
- API keys
- Ollama URL
- Project folder
- Launch at Login
- Theme / appearance
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Notification preferences
- Privacy and local-only controls
- Data retention
- Export/import settings
- Advanced debug settings

## When not to use this skill

Do not put these in Settings:

- Current selected item metadata; use Inspector
- Main app navigation; use Sidebar
- Current-screen actions; use Toolbar
- One-time commands; use Command Palette or menu
- Full dashboards

## Recommended settings sections

```
General
Models
Projects
Keyboard
Notifications
Privacy
Appearance
Advanced
About
```

For an agent-driven app:

```
General
- Launch at Login
- Show Dock icon
- Start hidden

Models
- Provider: Ollama / OpenAI / Other

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aka-kika/akakika-skills/apple-hig-settings@sha256:8a0c087211397a10

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260620.bb2e91d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
