Design Better Apple Input Experiences
Apple applications must support different input methods without breaking platform conventions or accessibility. This skill produces focused recommendations based on Apple Human Interface Guidelines.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "hig-inputs" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-hig-inputs.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-hig-inputs/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "hig-inputs". Review zoom controls for an iPad drawing application that supports touch, trackpad, and Apple Pencil.
Expected outcome:
- Use pinch to zoom with touch and trackpad.
- Keep Pencil input dedicated to drawing unless the user selects another tool.
- Provide visible zoom controls and keyboard shortcuts as alternatives.
- Preserve the zoom focal point and show immediate visual feedback.
Using "hig-inputs". Recommend navigation inputs for a media application on tvOS and visionOS.
Expected outcome:
- Use predictable focus movement and a clear focus indicator on both platforms.
- Support the Siri Remote clickpad and Back button conventions on tvOS.
- Use look and pinch with generous targets on visionOS.
- Avoid sustained gaze activation and provide an alternate way to complete every task.
Security Audit
SafeAll 64 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown paths, documentation links, screenshots, and Apple HIG terminology. The skill contains design guidance only; no command execution, upload behavior, reconnaissance, exfiltration, or prompt injection was found.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Plan Cross-Platform Inputs
Map touch, keyboard, pointer, Pencil, and controller support across an Apple application.
Review Interaction Specifications
Check gestures, focus behavior, shortcuts, and feedback before implementation.
Audit Accessible Alternatives
Identify tasks that require alternate controls for different devices, abilities, or interaction modes.
Try These Prompts
Review this interaction for [platform]: [interaction]. Recommend the expected input behavior, feedback, and one accessible alternative.
Compare input requirements for [feature] on [platforms]. Cover primary inputs, keyboard or pointer support, feedback, and platform-specific constraints.
Create an input specification for [product flow]. Include platform recommendations, a gesture table, keyboard shortcuts, focus behavior, and accessibility alternatives.
Audit this input design: [design details]. Find convention conflicts, inaccessible dependencies, destructive actions, discoverability gaps, and device-specific failures. Prioritize fixes by user impact.
Best Practices
- State the target platforms, supported devices, and primary user tasks.
- Describe custom gestures and destructive actions so the review can assess discoverability and recovery.
- Validate recommendations on physical devices with keyboard, pointer, and assistive technologies.
Avoid
- Do not request one universal interaction model without identifying platform differences.
- Do not make custom gestures the only way to complete an essential task.
- Do not treat guidance as proof that an interaction works on every device or accessibility configuration.
