Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00076 | $0.01365 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00038 | $0.00682 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00273 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) 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 12d 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 Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) Skill
Introduction
This skill provides comprehensive guidelines and actionable instructions for building applications that strictly adhere to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). The focus is on clarity, deference, and depth, ensuring native-feeling experiences across iOS, macOS, and visionOS.
Core Apple Design Principles
- Clarity: Text is legible at every size, icons are precise and lucid, adornments are subtle and appropriate, and a sharpened focus on functionality motivates the design. Negative space, color, fonts, graphics, and interface elements subtly highlight important content and convey interactivity.
- Deference: Fluid motion and a crisp, beautiful interface help people understand and interact with content without competing with it. Content typically fills the entire screen, while translucency and blurring often hint at more.
- Depth: Distinct visual layers and realistic motion convey hierarchy, impart vitality, and facilitate understanding. Touch and discoverability heighten delight and enable access to functionality and additional content without losing context.
Platform Conventions
iOS Conventions
- Tab Bars: Used for top-level navigation. Must contain between 2 and 5 items. Avoid hiding tab bars when navigating deep into a hierarchy unless absolutely necessary.
- Navigation Bars: Provide drill-down navigation. Use large titles for root views, reverting to standard titles upon scrolling.
- Modals & Sheets: Use sheets for non-blocking contextual tasks. Use full-screen modals for immersive content or complex tasks.
- Safe Areas: Always respect safe areas to prevent content from being clipped by the notch, Dynamic Island, or home indicator.
macOS Conventions
- Window Anatomy: Utilize toolbars, sidebars, and content areas effectively. Sidebars are typically translucent (
NSVisualEffectView). - Menus: Rely heavily on the global menu bar for application commands. Do not duplicate all menu bar actions in the window UI.
- Pointer Interactions: Design for hover states and precise clicking, contrasting with iOS's larger touch targets.
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.

Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) Design is a skill published in the GitHub repository GktuOktay/ai-skills (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,365 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
