SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

macOS app teams struggle to bootstrap, audit, migrate, and ship native Mac apps using the Glass design language without a cohesive, end‑to‑end workflow. This Skill provides a integrated framework to scaffold macOS apps, enforce HIG and Glass compliance, apply migration patterns, and wire in quality tooling and cloud-sync hooks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bootstrap new macOS apps with Glass-ready scaffolding, repository references, and a coherent gating strategy for macOS 26 APIs.
  • Audit existing macOS apps for HIG conformance, Glass usage, accessibility readiness, and CI quality integration, with actionable remediation.
  • Migrate legacy code to Liquid Glass patterns, including background extension, GlassEffectContainer usage, and AppKit bridging considerations.
  • Install and manage SwiftLint/SwiftFormat pre-commit hooks, CI workflows, and per-project tooling to raise ongoing code quality.
  • Provide a ship/checklist workflow with scaffolds for tests, snapshots, and optional Convex+Clerk cloud-sync integration where applicable.
  • Deliver references, assets, and script templates to accelerate adoption and maintain consistency across projects.

Quick Start

Boot a macOS app scaffold, audit for Glass, and ship with a defined checklist.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate an existing macOS app to the Liquid Glass design language?

To migrate an existing macOS app to Liquid Glass, you transition legacy interfaces using backgroundExtensionEffect, GlassEffectContainer, and NavigationSplitView, while addressing AppKit bridging considerations for compatibility.

What is the best way to audit a macOS app for HIG conformance and Glass compliance?

Auditing a macOS app for HIG conformance and Glass compliance involves checking accessibility readiness, CI quality integration, and Glass usage, generating actionable remediation paths for any identified design or structural issues.

Does this macOS app workflow support availability gating for macOS 26 APIs?

Yes, this macOS app workflow supports availability gating for macOS 26 APIs, enforcing a coherent gating strategy during scaffolding to ensure safe integration of new Glass features.

Can I use SwiftLint and SwiftFormat pre-commit hooks to raise macOS app code quality?

Yes, you can install and manage SwiftLint and SwiftFormat pre-commit hooks, CI workflows, and per-project tooling to enforce code quality standards and automate formatting for your macOS app.

How do I integrate Convex and Clerk cloud sync into a native macOS app?

You integrate Convex and Clerk cloud sync into a native macOS app by wiring optional cross-platform patterns during the ship workflow, providing authentication and synchronized data capabilities.

When should I use NavigationSplitView and GlassEffectContainer in macOS app scaffolding?

You should use NavigationSplitView and GlassEffectContainer in macOS app scaffolding when bootstrapping new apps to ensure native Liquid Glass design compliance and proper hierarchical navigation from the start.
