apple-design

apple-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from f0d010c/stark. It costs 149 tokens per session (3,128 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design guide for building apps on Apple platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. It covers native Apple interfaces as well as several cross-platform approaches, and asks you to choose the app's technology and visual direction first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing SwiftUI, UIKit, AppKit, React Native, Flutter, Electron, or Tauri apps for Apple devices. It covers flows and interfaces such as settings, document apps, productivity tools, media apps, inspectors, and menu-bar utilities.
Why use it?
It helps match the design and implementation approach to the Apple platform and app type. It also accounts for Apple interface conventions, accessibility, screen sizes, keyboard use, and platform-specific behavior.

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-design 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 4d 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.

apple-design — pick the track first

Apple platforms have multiple stacks with different visual ceilings and cost. Ask the user which one before any code.

What This Skill Can Do

  • Choose the right Apple track: strict SwiftUI, branded SwiftUI, React Native, Flutter Cupertino, or Electron/Tauri for macOS.
  • Design iPhone task flows, iPad/macOS productivity surfaces, menu-bar utilities, document apps, settings, inspectors, media apps, and desktop-class workbenches.
  • Preserve UX briefs, state coverage, action hierarchy, keyboard flow, Dynamic Type, focus, accessibility, and safe areas.
  • Apply HIG, Liquid Glass, SF Symbols, SF typography, NavigationSplitView, DocumentGroup, inspectors, sheets, toolbars, and platform-specific motion.
  • Add originality through composition, content, and state treatment without replacing native controls with web-style chrome.

Step 0 (MANDATORY) — Ask the user which track

Which track for this app?

1. System-like native (SwiftUI strict + Liquid Glass + HIG) — feels like Settings, Notes, Reminders, Mail. Best for: utilities, productivity. Visual ceiling: medium. Stays App Store-friendly. Examples: Things 3, NetNewsWire, Soulver.

2. Branded native (SwiftUI + HIG + custom identity) — native chrome (Liquid Glass, SF Symbols, Dynamic Type) but bespoke content surface (custom typography, hero atmospheres, magazine layouts). Best for: consumer/media/creative apps that want fit-in and identity. Visual ceiling: high. Examples: Ivory, Reeder, Mela, Craft, CARROT Weather.

3. React Native (New Architecture + Fabric + Hermes) — real UIKit views, decent native feel, JavaScript codebase, cross-platform with Android. Liquid Glass partial via expo-glass-effect. Best for: cross-platform apps with web-team velocity. Examples: Discord mobile, Coinbase, Microsoft Office mobile.

4. Flutter Cupertino — Skia-painted UIKit-look. Always one OS behind, no Liquid Glass. Cross-platform. Best for: utility apps where pixel control beats native feel. Visual ceiling: high if you bring your own design language; low if you try to mimic iOS.

5. Electron / Tauri 2 (macOS only — no iOS) — web stack desktop apps. Tauri 2 (~5MB, WKWebView) or Electron (~150MB, bundled Chromium). Same React/Tailwind/Motion code as web. Best for: cross-platform desktop with brand-first identity. Examples: Spotify, Discord, VSCode, Slack, Figma desktop, Linear.

Which? Or describe priorities (App Store, brand vs HIG fit, cross-platform reach) and I'll pick.

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.
