Use when designing, reviewing, or implementing an Inspector panel for an Apple-platform app — contextual selected-item details and safe editable properties, grouped sections, ⌘I toggle, and a compact-width fallback.

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 Inspectors

Design and review an inspector that shows contextual details and safe properties for the selected item — secondary to the main content, never primary navigation. Reach for this on macOS, iPadOS, SwiftUI `.inspector`, side detail panels, selected-item metadata, properties panels, AI run details, task details, file details, skill configuration, and project settings.

## Core rule

```
Sidebar = where you go
Toolbar = what you do now
Inspector = details about what is selected
Command palette = fast global control
```

An inspector is not another sidebar. It should not contain primary navigation.

An inspector answers:

```
What is selected?
What details matter?
What can I adjust safely?
What metadata helps me understand this item?
```

## When to use an inspector

Use an inspector when the user selects an item and needs supporting information or editable properties without leaving the main screen.

Good inspector use cases:

- Task details
- Project metadata
- Agent run status
- Agent configuration
- Skill settings
- Prompt metadata
- File info
- Note properties
- Decision context
- Report export settings

Avoid inspectors for:

- App-wide navigation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aka-kika/akakika-skills/apple-hig-inspectors@sha256:36c98eaf42e9f8c9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.fbab501, 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.
