apple-design SKILL.md skillA

apple-design from asymmetric-al/core is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/apple-design@git:20261022.752a38b

Pins git:20261022.752a38b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Apple's approach to interface design and fluid, physical motion, translated for the web. Use when building or reviewing gesture-driven UI, spring animations, drag/swipe/sheet interactions, momentum and interruptible transitions, translucent materials and depth, typography (optical sizing, tracking, leading), reduced-motion, or the design foundations (feedback, spatial consistency, restraint) behind Apple-style interfaces.

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 Design

<!-- CORE-OVERLAY-START -->

## This repository (Asymmetric-al/core)

Use this upstream skill as a specialized physical-interaction reference. Core's
frontend architecture and motion contract remain authoritative. Reconcile this
overlay after upstream refreshes before running `bun run skills:sync`.

### Triggers

- Gesture-driven UI, momentum, rubber-banding, drag or swipe interactions.
- Interruptible springs, sheets, depth, translucent materials, or Apple-style
  interface critique.
- Do not load it merely because a task contains ordinary product animation.
- A concrete interface-design request should be answered directly. The upstream
  Initial Response applies only to a bare invocation with no question or task.

### Workflow

1. Read `docs/ai/rules/frontend.md`, then
   `docs/ai/skills/emil-design-engineering/SKILL.md` and
   `docs/ai/skills/anim/SKILL.md` as applicable.
2. Reuse Base UI primitives and Core motion tokens; never introduce Radix
   imports, `--radix-*` variables, or parallel duration/easing scales.
3. Keep the global reduced-motion baseline in
   `packages/ui/styles/globals.css`; TS motion must use the repo's
   `useReducedMotion()` contract.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/apple-design@sha256:9dded777dc332666

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.752a38b, 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.
