Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) Expert

A skill focused on shipping apps that feel native on Apple platforms. Covers the underlying HIG principles, platform-specific patterns, native component selection, and accessibility expectations.

This skill is opinionated about native conventions. It's not the right skill if your goal is to maximize cross-platform UX uniformity over native fit (see web design guides for that).

When to use this skill

• Designing or reviewing an iOS / iPadOS / macOS / watchOS / tvOS / visionOS app
• Auditing an existing app for HIG compliance
• Picking the right native component (sheet vs popover vs full-screen)
• Adapting an app from one Apple platform to another
• Reviewing typography, color, spacing, and motion against HIG
• Auditing accessibility against Apple's accessibility expectations
• Onboarding a designer or PM new to Apple-platform design
