What it does

Hig Project Context is an agent skill from raintree-technology/hig-doctor. Create or update a shared Apple design context document that other HIG skills use to tailor guidance. Use when the user says "set up my project context," "what platforms am I targeting," "configure HIG settings," or when starting a new Apple platform project. Also activates when other HIG skills need project context but none exists yet. This skill creates .claude/apple-design-context.md so that hig-foundations, hig-platforms, hig-components-, hig-inputs, and hig-technologies can provide targeted advice without…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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, macOS and SwiftUI. The repository describes itself as: Apple HIG reference and cross-framework UI audit tooling for agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tailor guidance
  • The user says set up my project context
  • What platforms am I targeting
  • Configure HIG settings

Example prompts

  • “set up my project context,”
  • “what platforms am I targeting,”
  • “configure HIG settings,”
  • “/hig-project-context”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Product Overview
  2. Target Platforms
  3. Technology Stack
  4. Design System
  5. Accessibility Requirements
  6. User Context
  7. Existing Design Assets

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3ec08f5. 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 markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • raintree.technology

    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

Hig Project Context loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 140 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~140
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Apple HIG: Project Context

Create and maintain .claude/apple-design-context.md so other HIG skills can skip redundant questions.

Check for .claude/apple-design-context.md before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered.

Gathering Context

Before asking questions, auto-discover context from:

  1. README.md -- Product description, platform targets
  2. Package.swift / .xcodeproj -- Supported platforms, minimum OS versions, dependencies
  3. Info.plist -- App category, required capabilities, supported orientations
  4. Existing code -- Import statements reveal frameworks (SwiftUI vs UIKit, HealthKit, etc.)
  5. Assets.xcassets -- Color assets, icon sets, dark mode variants
  6. Accessibility audit -- Grep for accessibility modifiers/attributes

Present findings and ask the user to confirm or correct. Then gather anything still missing:

1. Product Overview
  • What does the app do? (one sentence)
  • Category (productivity, social, health, game, utility, etc.)
  • Stage (concept, development, shipped, redesign)
2. Target Platforms
  • Which Apple platforms? (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS)
  • Minimum OS versions
  • Universal or platform-specific?
3. Technology Stack
  • UI framework: SwiftUI, UIKit, AppKit, or mixed?
  • Architecture: single-window, multi-window, document-based?
  • Apple technologies in use? (HealthKit, CloudKit, ARKit, etc.)
4. Design System
  • System defaults or custom design system?
  • Brand colors, fonts, icon style?
  • Dark mode and Dynamic Type support status
5. Accessibility Requirements
  • Target level (baseline, enhanced, comprehensive)
  • Specific considerations (VoiceOver, Switch Control, etc.)
  • Regulatory requirements (WCAG, Section 508)
6. User Context
  • Primary personas (1-3)
  • Key use cases and environments (desk, on-the-go, glanceable, immersive)
  • Known pain points or design challenges
7. Existing Design Assets
  • Figma/Sketch files?
  • Apple Design Resources in use?
  • Existing component library?

Updating Context

When updating an existing context document:

  1. Read the current .claude/apple-design-context.md
  2. Ask what has changed
  3. Update only the changed sections
  4. Preserve all unchanged information
  • hig-platforms -- Platform-specific guidance
  • hig-foundations -- Color, typography, layout decisions
  • hig-patterns -- UX pattern recommendations
  • hig-components-* -- Component recommendations
  • hig-inputs -- Input method coverage
  • hig-technologies -- Apple technology relevance
