What it does

Apple Hig Helper is an agent skill from shepherdjerred/monorepo. Apple Human Interface Guidelines - comprehensive design guidance for iOS, macOS, visionOS, watchOS, tvOS, and Apple technologies with summaries of 174 topics. Use when the user asks about Apple design guidelines, HIG, platform UI patterns, Apple UI components, or accessibility guidance.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 353 other files (for example `README.md`, `markdown/accessibility/index.md` and `markdown/action-button/index.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering iOS development and Accessibility. It works with iOS and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Monorepo for all of my projects. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about Apple design guidelines
  • Platform UI patterns
  • Apple UI components
  • Accessibility guidance

Example prompts

  • “/apple-hig-helper”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Quick Summary: Read the button summary from this skill
  2. Full Details: Read markdown/buttons/index.md
  3. Response: A button initiates an instantaneous action. (Provide platform-specific guidance from Markdown)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d66c497. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Helper loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,665 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k

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.

Data Location: markdown/ Format: 174 Markdown documentation pages

Quick Reference: Major Topics with Summaries

Design Foundations
Color

Path: markdown/color/index.md

Judicious use of color can enhance communication, evoke your brand, provide visual continuity, communicate status and feedback, and help people understand information.

Typography

Path: markdown/typography/index.md

Your typographic choices can help you display legible text, convey an information hierarchy, communicate important content, and express your brand or style.

Icons

Path: markdown/icons/index.md

An effective icon is a graphic asset that expresses a single concept in ways people instantly understand.

Layout

Path: markdown/layout/index.md

A consistent layout that adapts to various contexts makes your experience more approachable and helps people enjoy their favorite apps and games on all their devices.

Materials

Path: markdown/materials/index.md

A material is a visual effect that creates a sense of depth, layering, and hierarchy between foreground and background elements.

Branding

Path: markdown/branding/index.md

Apps and games express their unique brand identity in ways that make them instantly recognizable while feeling at home on the platform and giving people a consistent experience.

Dark Mode

Path: markdown/dark-mode/index.md

Dark Mode is a systemwide appearance setting that uses a dark color palette to provide a comfortable viewing experience tailored for low-light environments.

Images

Path: markdown/images/index.md

To make sure your artwork looks great on all devices you support, learn how the system displays content and how to deliver art at the appropriate scale factors.

Accessibility & Inclusion
Accessibility

Path: markdown/accessibility/index.md

Accessible user interfaces empower everyone to have a great experience with your app or game.

Inclusion

Path: markdown/inclusion/index.md

Inclusive apps and games put people first by prioritizing respectful communication and presenting content and functionality in ways that everyone can access and understand.

Common UI Components
Buttons

Path: markdown/buttons/index.md

A button initiates an instantaneous action.

Menus

Path: markdown/menus/index.md

A menu reveals its options when people interact with it, making it a space-efficient way to present commands in your app or game.

Alerts

Path: markdown/alerts/index.md

An alert gives people critical information they need right away.

Sheets

Path: markdown/sheets/index.md

A sheet helps people perform a scoped task that's closely related to their current context.

Lists and Tables

Path: markdown/lists-and-tables/index.md

Lists and tables present data in one or more columns of rows.

Pickers

Path: markdown/pickers/index.md

A picker displays one or more scrollable lists of distinct values that people can choose from.

Sliders

Path: markdown/sliders/index.md

A slider is a horizontal track with a control, called a thumb, that people can adjust between a minimum and maximum value.

Toggles

Path: markdown/toggles/index.md

A toggle lets people choose between a pair of opposing states, like on and off, using a different appearance to indicate each state.

Text Fields

Path: markdown/text-fields/index.md

A text field is a rectangular area in which people enter or edit small, specific pieces of text.

Design Patterns
Modality

Path: markdown/modality/index.md

Modality is a design technique that presents content in a separate, dedicated mode that prevents interaction with the parent view and requires an explicit action to dismiss.

Path: markdown/navigation-and-search/index.md

Help people navigate and find content efficiently.

Feedback

Path: markdown/feedback/index.md

Feedback helps people know what's happening, discover what they can do next, understand the results of actions, and avoid mistakes.

Loading

Path: markdown/loading/index.md

The best content-loading experience finishes before people become aware of it.

Settings

Path: markdown/settings/index.md

People expect apps and games to just work, but they also appreciate having ways to customize the experience to fit their needs.

Onboarding

Path: markdown/onboarding/index.md

Onboarding can help people get a quick start using your app or game.

Platform-Specific Guidelines
Designing for iOS

Path: markdown/designing-for-ios/index.md

People depend on their iPhone to help them stay connected, play games, view media, accomplish tasks, and track personal data in any location and while on the go.

Designing for iPadOS

Path: markdown/designing-for-ipados/index.md

People value the power, mobility, and flexibility of iPad as they enjoy media, play games, perform detailed productivity tasks, and bring their creations to life.

Designing for macOS

Path: markdown/designing-for-macos/index.md

People rely on the power, spaciousness, and flexibility of a Mac as they perform in-depth productivity tasks, view media or content, and play games, often using several apps at once.

Designing for tvOS

Path: markdown/designing-for-tvos/index.md

People enjoy the vibrant content, immersive experiences, and streamlined interactions that tvOS delivers in media and games, as well as in fitness, education, and home utility apps.

Designing for visionOS

Path: markdown/designing-for-visionos/index.md

When people wear Apple Vision Pro, they enter an infinite 3D space where they can engage with your app or game while staying connected to their surroundings.

Designing for watchOS

Path: markdown/designing-for-watchos/index.md

When people glance at their Apple Watch, they know they can access essential information and perform simple, timely tasks whether they're stationary or in motion.

# Get title
grep -oP '(?<=<title>)[^<]+' markdown/buttons/index.md | head -1

# Get description
grep -oP '(?<=<meta name="description" content=")[^"]+' markdown/buttons/index.md | head -1

# Get both
echo "Title:" && grep -oP '(?<=<title>)[^<]+' markdown/buttons/index.md | head -1
echo "Description:" && grep -oP '(?<=<meta name="description" content=")[^"]+' markdown/buttons/index.md | head -1
Read Full Topic Content

For detailed guidance, read the complete Markdown file:

bash
# Read entire file (may be large - 50-250KB per file)
cat markdown/buttons/index.md

# Read with Bash tool through Read tool (preferred for large files)
Read markdown/buttons/index.md
Search Across Multiple Topics
bash
# Extract metadata from multiple related topics
for topic in buttons menus alerts sheets; do
  echo "=== $topic ==="
  grep -oP '(?<=<meta name="description" content=")[^"]+' markdown/$topic/index.md
  echo ""
done

# Search for topics by category
ls markdown/ | grep -E "(button|menu|alert|sheet)"
