Design principles for building polished, native-feeling SwiftUI apps and widgets. Use this skill when creating or modifying SwiftUI views, iOS widgets (WidgetKit), or any native Apple UI. Ensures proper spacing, typography, colors, and widget implementations that look and feel like quality apps rather than AI-generated slop.
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
This skill encodes design principles derived from comparing polished, production-quality SwiftUI apps against poorly-built ones. The patterns here represent what separates an app that feels "right" from one where the margins, spacing, and text sizes just look "off." Apply these principles whenever building or modifying SwiftUI interfaces, WidgetKit widgets, or any native Apple UI. ## Core Philosophy **Restraint over decoration.** Every pixel must earn its place. A polished app uses fewer colors, fewer font sizes, fewer spacing values, and fewer words — but uses them consistently. Over-engineering visual elements (custom gradients, decorative borders, bespoke dividers) creates visual noise. Native components and system colors create harmony. **Attention is scarce.** Keep UI copy shorter than you think it needs to be. Prefer one clear headline and one compact supporting block over repeated explanation in the title, subtitle, body, and footer. If a screen needs rationale, put it in one purposeful place instead of scattering it across the page. --- ## 1. Spacing System: Use a Consistent Grid **CRITICAL**: Use spacing values from a base-4/base-8 grid. Never use arbitrary values. …

How to install
mdr add jordancoin/ios-skills-collection/swiftui-design-principles@sha256:88e837f0ff8ebbf7The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
