Complete Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and Apple Design System standard. Use when designing, building, or auditing UI/UX for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, or Apple-styled web and mobile applications.

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 System & Human Interface Guidelines (HIG)

This skill equips AI coding agents with the exact principles, visual specifications, component architectures, typography metrics, color tokens, motion curves, and automated compliance auditing defined by **Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG)** across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, and modern Apple-grade Web UI.

## 🎯 Operational Modes

### Mode 1 — Design & Build from Scratch
When tasked with creating new screens, apps, or web interfaces in Apple style:
1. Choose the platform-native navigation paradigm (e.g. Bottom Tab Bar for iOS, Sidebar for macOS/iPad, Ornaments for visionOS).
2. Establish the 8pt spatial grid and continuous squircle curvature (`G2 continuity`).
3. Apply the SF Pro / New York typography scale with optical tracking rules.
4. Implement semantic Dynamic Colors (Light & OLED Dark mode) and Liquid Frosted Glass materials.
5. Apply Apple spring physics (`cubic-bezier(0.25, 1, 0.5, 1)`) and tactile active feedback (`scale(0.97)`).

### Mode 2 — Apple HIG Compliance Audit & Scoring
When reviewing an existing codebase, mockup, or component:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add xoviet-game/apple-design-skill/apple-design@sha256:69e470d5426b9ca5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
