Check for context first:
If product-context.md or ios-design-context.md exists, read it before asking questions.
Gather this context:
This skill supports 2 primary modes:
When starting fresh. Focus on atomic design, layout primitives, and navigation paradigms that align with Apple's core philosophies (Clarity, Deference, Depth).
When reviewing mockups or code. Use the templates/hig-audit-template.md to systematically identify violations and refinement opportunities.
Modern Apple design emphasizes translucency and fluid motion.
Design for everyone from Day 1.
Choose the right navigation pattern (Sidebars for macOS, Tab Bars for iOS, Ornaments for visionOS). See references/platform-specifics.md for details.
Apply typography (San Francisco family) and semantic colors. See references/visual-design.md.
Run the hig_checker.py tool to automate contrast and layout checks.
Surface these issues WITHOUT being asked:
| When you ask for... | You get... |
|---|---|
| "Audit my iOS app" | Detailed HIG Scorecard (0-100) with prioritized fixes. |
| "Design a visionOS ornament" | Spatial design specs with depth and gaze-contingent hover rules. |
| "Accessibility check" | Compliance report for VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Contrast. |
All output follows the structured communication standard:
