SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Build, update, and apply iOS design specifications using Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) source data. Use when a task asks for iOS UI/UX rules, Apple design standards, component behavior, accessibility constraints, interaction patterns, or feature-level design-spec writing grounded in official HIG pages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sync and translate official HIG pages into concise, implementable design specs.
  • Generate curated, iOS-focused guidance for UI components, accessibility, typography, and layout.
  • Use cases include preparing design specs for a new iOS feature, updating an existing component to comply with HIG, or creating consistent style guidance across teams.

Quick Start

Write a precise, iOS-focused design spec from the latest HIG data using the included sync workflow.
