hig-patternsApple Human Interface Guidelines interaction and UX patterns.
Hig Patterns is an agent skill from raintree-technology/hig-doctor. Apple Human Interface Guidelines interaction and UX patterns. Use this skill when the user asks about "onboarding flow", "user onboarding", "app launch", "loading state", "drag and drop", "search pattern", "settings design", "notifications", "modality", "multitasking", "feedback pattern", "haptics", "undo redo", "file management", data entry, sharing, collaboration, full screen, audio, video, haptic feedback, ratings, printing, help, or account management in Apple apps. Also use when the user says "how should…
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 26 other files, including reference files (for example `references/charting-data.md`, `references/collaboration-and-sharing.md` and `references/drag-and-drop.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development, Customer success and File organization. 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 Patterns loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 230 tokens; SKILL.md has 683 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.

Minimize modality. Use modality only when it is critical to get attention, a task must be completed or abandoned, or saving changes is essential. Prefer non-modal alternatives.
Provide clear feedback. Every action should produce visible, audible, or haptic response. Activity indicators for indeterminate waits, progress bars for determinate, haptics for physical confirmation.
Support undo over confirmation dialogs. Destructive actions should be reversible when possible. Undo is almost always better than "Are you sure?"
Launch quickly. Display a launch screen that transitions seamlessly into the first screen. No splash screens with logos. Restore previous state.
Defer sign-in. Let users explore before requiring account creation. Support Sign in with Apple and passkeys.
Keep onboarding brief. Three screens max. Let users skip. Teach through progressive disclosure and contextual hints.
Use progressive disclosure. Show essentials first, let users drill into details. Don't overwhelm with every option on one screen.
Respect user attention. Consolidate notifications, minimize interruptions, give users control over alerts. Never use notifications for marketing.

Run `npx skills add raintree-technology/hig-doctor --skill hig-patterns -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/hig-patterns in raintree-technology/hig-doctor) into .claude/skills/hig-patterns in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add raintree-technology/hig-doctor --skill hig-patterns -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/hig-patterns in raintree-technology/hig-doctor) into .agents/skills/hig-patterns in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add raintree-technology/hig-doctor --skill hig-patterns -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/hig-patterns, .gemini/skills/hig-patterns, .github/skills/hig-patterns and .opencode/skills/hig-patterns in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Hig Patterns is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: raintree.technology. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Hig Patterns is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 13k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
