Review a macOS or iOS app's UI against Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and produce prioritized, actionable design/UX/accessibility recommendations. Use this whenever the user wants a design review ("ביקורת עיצוב", "נראה כמו אפליקציית אפל"), asks if their UI "feels native" or follows Apple's conventions, mentions the Human Interface Guidelines or HIG, wants to improve accessibility (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, contrast), check Dark Mode / layout / typography / spacing / navigation…

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 Design Review

> **Conversational language:** talk to the user — questions, summaries, reports — in **the language the user writes in** — unless a `conversational language` is set in the hub `DATA.md` (`$APP_HUB/DATA.md`), which overrides it. This sets the *conversation* language only — content/deliverables follow the app's target locales.

Apple's Human Interface Guidelines describe what makes an app feel native, clear
and accessible on Apple platforms. Unlike the App Store *Review* Guidelines,
HIG conformance is rarely binary and rarely a rejection basis on its own — it's
a spectrum of quality. So this skill produces a **prioritized design review**
(what would most improve the experience), not a pass/fail verdict.

Be a thoughtful design reviewer, not a linter. Many HIG "rules" are defaults
with legitimate exceptions; a deliberate, well-executed choice that departs from
convention can be better than rote conformance. Explain the *why* behind each
recommendation (what the user gains) so the user can judge, and call out what's
already done well — a review that's all criticism is less useful and less
trusted.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yybd/app-factory/apple-hig-design-review@sha256:57f3790aea5c234a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.a7fd8b7, 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.
