# Apple HIG: Platform Design Check for `.claude/apple-design-context.md` before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered. ## Key Principles 1. **Each platform has a distinct identity.** Do not port designs between platforms. Respect each platform's conventions, interaction models, and user expectations. 2. **iOS: touch-first.** Direct manipulation on a handheld screen. Optimize for one-handed use. Navigation uses tab bars and push/pop stacks. 3. **iPadOS: expanded canvas.** Support Split View, Slide Over, and Stage Manager. Use sidebars and multi-column layouts. Support pointer and keyboard alongside touch. 4. **macOS: pointer and keyboard.** Dense information display is acceptable. Use menu bars, toolbars, and keyboard shortcuts extensively. Windows are resizable with precise control. 5. **tvOS: remote and focus.** Viewed from a distance. Design for the Siri Remote with focus-based navigation.

Respect ergonomic comfort zones. 7. **watchOS:

Apple Human Interface Guidelines for platform-specific design.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill hig-platforms --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.
