apple-hig-inspectors

apple-hig-inspectors is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aka-kika/akakika-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (2,169 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Design guidance for an Inspector panel in an Apple-platform app. An Inspector is a secondary panel showing details and safe editable properties for the item currently selected.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing property panels for tasks, files, agent runs, prompts, settings, or other selected items in macOS, iPadOS, or SwiftUI apps.
Why use it?
It helps keep selected-item details separate from navigation and main content, including when the panel must work at a narrow width.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apple-hig-inspectors scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 477 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apple HIG Inspectors

Design and review an inspector that shows contextual details and safe properties for the selected item — secondary to the main content, never primary navigation. Reach for this on macOS, iPadOS, SwiftUI .inspector, side detail panels, selected-item metadata, properties panels, AI run details, task details, file details, skill configuration, and project settings.

Core rule

Sidebar = where you go
Toolbar = what you do now
Inspector = details about what is selected
Command palette = fast global control

An inspector is not another sidebar. It should not contain primary navigation.

An inspector answers:

What is selected?
What details matter?
What can I adjust safely?
What metadata helps me understand this item?

When to use an inspector

Use an inspector when the user selects an item and needs supporting information or editable properties without leaving the main screen.

Good inspector use cases:

  • Task details
  • Project metadata
  • Agent run status
  • Agent configuration
  • Skill settings
  • Prompt metadata
  • File info
  • Note properties
  • Decision context
  • Report export settings

Avoid inspectors for:

  • App-wide navigation
  • Main content
  • Full dashboards
  • Long forms
  • Onboarding
  • Primary destructive actions
  • Complex workflows that deserve their own screen

Apple-style principles

1. Inspectors are contextual

The inspector should change based on the selected item.

Examples:

Selected project → project info, status, owner, files, linked skills
Selected run → model, status, logs summary, duration, outputs
Selected skill → path, category, enabled state, validation status
Selected note → tags, created date, related project, source

If nothing is selected, show a calm empty state.

No Item Selected
Select a task, project, run, or skill to inspect its details.

2. Inspectors are secondary

The inspector should never overpower the main content.

Rules:

  • Keep it narrower than main content.
  • Use grouped sections.
  • Keep labels short.
  • Show only relevant fields.
  • Avoid big hero cards.
  • Avoid repeating the main screen.
  • Avoid dashboard-style metrics unless directly related to the selected item.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
