hig-foundationsApple Human Interface Guidelines design foundations. An agent skill from raintree-technology/hig-doctor.
Hig Foundations is an agent skill from raintree-technology/hig-doctor. Apple Human Interface Guidelines design foundations. Use this skill when the user asks about "HIG color", "Apple typography", "SF Symbols", "dark mode guidelines", "accessible design", "Apple design foundations", "app icon", "layout guidelines", "materials", "motion", "privacy", "right to left", "RTL", "inclusive design", branding, images, spatial layout, or writing style. Also use when the user says "my colors look wrong in dark mode", "what font should I use", "is my app accessible enough", "how do I support…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including reference files (for example `references/accessibility.md`, `references/app-icons.md` and `references/branding.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering iOS development, Accessibility and Theming and dark mode. The repository describes itself as: Apple HIG reference and cross-framework UI audit tooling for agents. The licence is MIT.
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3ec08f5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
raintree.technologyFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Hig Foundations loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 211 tokens; SKILL.md has 666 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.
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.

Prioritize content over chrome. Reduce visual clutter. Use system-provided materials and subtle separators rather than heavy borders and backgrounds.
Build in accessibility from the start. Design for VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast, and Switch Control from day one. Every interactive element needs an accessible label.
Use system colors and materials. System colors adapt to light/dark mode, increased contrast, and vibrancy. Prefer semantic colors (label, secondaryLabel, systemBackground) over hard-coded values.
Use platform fonts and icons. SF Pro, SF Compact, SF Mono by default. New York for serif. Follow the type hierarchy at recommended sizes. Use SF Symbols for iconography.
Match platform conventions. Align look and behavior with system standards. Provide direct, responsive manipulation and clear feedback for every action.
Respect privacy. Request permissions only when needed, explain why clearly, provide value before asking for data. Design for minimal data collection.
Support internationalization. Accommodate text expansion, right-to-left scripts, and varying date/number formats. Use Auto Layout for dynamic content sizing.
Use motion purposefully. Animation should communicate meaning and spatial relationships. Honor Reduce Motion by providing crossfade alternatives.
| Reference | Topic | Key content |
|---|---|---|
| accessibility.md | Accessibility | VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, color contrast, motor accessibility, Switch Control, audio descriptions |
| app-icons.md | App Icons | Icon grid, platform-specific sizes, single focal point, no transparency |
| branding.md | Branding | Integrating brand identity within Apple's design language, subtle branding, custom tints |
| color.md | Color | System colors, Dynamic Colors, semantic colors, custom palettes, contrast ratios |
| dark-mode.md | Dark Mode | Elevated surfaces, semantic colors, adapted palettes, vibrancy, testing in both modes |
| icons.md | Icons | Glyph icons, SF Symbols integration, custom icon design, icon weights, optical alignment |
| images.md | Images | Image resolution, @2x/@3x assets, vector assets, image accessibility |
| immersive-experiences.md | Immersive Experiences | AR/VR design, spatial immersion, comfort zones, progressive immersion levels |
| inclusion.md | Inclusion | Diverse representation, non-gendered language, cultural sensitivity, inclusive defaults |
| layout.md | Layout | Margins, spacing, alignment, safe areas, adaptive layouts, readable content guides |
| materials.md | Materials | Vibrancy, blur, translucency, system materials, material thickness |
| motion.md | Motion | Animation curves, transitions, continuity, Reduce Motion support, physics-based motion |
| privacy.md | Privacy | Permission requests, usage descriptions, privacy nutrition labels, minimal data collection |
| right-to-left.md | Right-to-Left | RTL layout mirroring, bidirectional text, icons that flip, exceptions |
| sf-symbols.md | SF Symbols | Symbol categories, rendering modes, variable color, custom symbols, weight matching |
| spatial-layout.md | Spatial Layout | visionOS window placement, depth, ergonomic zones, Z-axis design |
| typography.md | Typography | SF Pro, Dynamic Type sizes, text styles, custom fonts, font weight hierarchy, line spacing |
| writing.md | Writing | UI copy guidelines, tone, capitalization rules, error messages, button labels, conciseness |
Consider how principles interact:
Color + Dark Mode + Accessibility -- Custom palettes must work in both modes while maintaining WCAG contrast ratios. Start with system semantic colors.
Typography + Accessibility + Layout -- Dynamic Type must scale without breaking layouts. Use text styles and Auto Layout for the full range of type sizes.
Icons + Branding + SF Symbols -- Custom icons should match SF Symbols weight and optical sizing. Brand elements should integrate without overriding system conventions.
Motion + Accessibility + Feedback -- Every animation must have a Reduce Motion alternative. Motion should reinforce spatial relationships, not decorate.
Privacy + Writing + Onboarding -- Permission requests need clear, specific usage descriptions. Time them to when the user will understand the benefit.
