Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Apple HIG: Status Components Check for `.claude/apple-design-context.md` before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered. ## Key Principles ### Progress Indicators 1. **Show progress for operations longer than a second or two.** 2. **Determinate when duration/percentage is known.** A filling progress bar gives users a clear sense of remaining work. Use for downloads, uploads, or any measurable process. 3. **Indeterminate when duration is unknown.** A spinner communicates work is happening without promising a timeframe. Use for unpredictable network requests. 4. **Prefer progress bars over spinners.** Determinate progress feels faster and more trustworthy. 5. **Place indicators where content will appear.** Inline progress near the content area, not modal or distant. 6. **Don't stack multiple indicators.** Aggregate simultaneous operations into one representation or show the most relevant. ### Status Bars 7. **Don't hide the status bar without good reason.** Reserve hiding for immersive experiences (full-screen media, games, AR). 8. **Match status bar style to your content.** Light or dark for adequate contrast. 9. **Respect safe areas

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill hig-components-status --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
