Design Apple Experiences with HIG Patterns

Apple interaction decisions can become inconsistent across flows and platforms. This skill recommends HIG-aligned patterns, implementation steps, platform variations, and common pitfalls.

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "hig-patterns" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-hig-patterns.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-hig-patterns/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-patterns". Recommend an onboarding pattern for an iPhone budgeting app that needs notification permission.

Expected outcome:

Start with the primary budgeting task and defer permission requests. Ask for notifications when alerts become relevant, explain the value, and provide a skip path.

Using "hig-patterns". Review a permanent delete action that uses a confirmation alert.

Expected outcome:

Prefer immediate deletion with a visible undo action when recovery is feasible. Keep confirmation for irreversible loss, then state the consequence and destructive action clearly.

Using "hig-patterns". Adapt a video playback flow for tvOS and visionOS.

Expected outcome:

Use familiar playback controls and preserve continuity on tvOS. In visionOS, let people enter immersion and keep transport controls visible and unobstructed.

What You Can Build

Plan a New Interaction

Select suitable patterns and define screens, states, feedback, and recovery before visual design begins.

Prepare an Implementation

Translate a feature flow into platform-aware interaction requirements and edge cases for engineering.

Review an Existing Flow

Compare onboarding, settings, media, or account flows with HIG guidance and prioritize corrections.

Try These Prompts

Choose a Pattern
Recommend an Apple HIG pattern for [user goal] on [platform]. Explain the rationale and list the core screens or states.
Improve a Flow
Review this [flow] for [platform]: [description]. Identify HIG issues and recommend changes for feedback, loading, recovery, and user control.
Adapt Across Platforms
Adapt [interaction] for [Apple platforms]. Detail differences in modality, input, layout, interruptions, and system behavior.
Write an Interaction Specification
Create an implementation-ready interaction specification for [feature] across [platforms]. Include state transitions, edge cases, permissions, undo, accessibility considerations, and reference topics.

Best Practices

  • Provide the target platform, user goal, preceding state, and following state.
  • Describe destructive actions, permissions, payments, and other sensitive moments explicitly.
  • Validate recommendations against current Apple documentation and test them with representative users.

Avoid

  • Do not request generic HIG advice without describing the feature or workflow.
  • Do not apply one platform interaction unchanged across every Apple device.
  • Do not treat guideline recommendations as proof of accessibility or App Review approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which platforms does this skill cover?
It covers interaction guidance for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS.
Can it review an existing product flow?
Yes. Provide the current screens, states, platform, user goal, and known constraints.
Does it generate production code?
No. It produces interaction recommendations and implementation guidance, not production interface code.
Does it cite relevant guidance?
Yes. The requested output format cites the relevant bundled reference topic.
Is its guidance guaranteed to be current?
No. Confirm important decisions against the latest Apple Human Interface Guidelines and platform documentation.
What information produces the best result?
Provide the target platforms, user goal, surrounding flow, sensitive actions, constraints, and whether the work is new or existing.
