What it does
Apple Hig is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Apple Human Interface Guidelines as 14 agent skills covering platforms, foundations, components, patterns, inputs, and technologies for iOS, macOS, visionOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
Its SKILL.md is about 330 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with iOS and macOS. The repository describes itself as: 🎨 Best DeepSeek Harness Design Plugin. The open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Local-first desktop app. 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve iOS development
Example prompts
- “/apple-hig”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 17e2559. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Apple Hig loads about 332 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 99 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/raintree-technology/apple-hig-skillsThen ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (apple-hig) or with
one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
