Design and build native-feeling macOS application UIs. Use this skill whenever the user asks to create a desktop app, macOS app, Mac-style interface, Apple-style UI, system utility, or anything that should look and feel like a native Mac application. Also trigger when users mention "native feel", "desktop app design", "Apple design patterns", "sidebar layout", "traffic lights", or want to build tools/utilities that feel like they belong on macOS. This skill covers layout, composition…
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
# macOS Native App Design Skill Build interfaces that feel like they belong on the user's computer — not websites crammed into a window. ## Core Philosophy A native app is not a destination. It is a **system tool** that lives where the user needs it. Design every interaction around this principle: appear when needed, get out of the way immediately after. ## Before You Code Read these references based on what you're building: - **All macOS apps** → Read `references/layout-and-composition.md` (required) - **Apps with keyboard shortcuts, panels, toasts, popovers** → Read `references/interaction-patterns.md` - **Light/dark mode, color, typography** → Read `references/visual-design.md` ## Quick-Start Checklist Use this as a pre-flight before writing any code: 1. **Layout**: Top bar for global actions, sidebar for navigation (skip if nav is minimal), center for content 2. **Traffic lights**: Integrate into the UI — top bar or sidebar, never floating awkwardly 3. **Window drag zone**: Top ~50px must be draggable, keep it uncluttered 4. **Empty states**: Show them. Progressive disclosure — only reveal UI when it's useful …

How to install
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/macos-design@sha256:37d9136b183888c1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260603.0c841ed, 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.
