haptics-design

haptics-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mwd1234/ios-agentic-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (455 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for designing touch sensations, called haptics, in iPhone and Apple Watch apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review reminders, transitions, completion signals, warnings, intensity settings, and haptic behavior during long sessions.
Why use it?
It helps make vibrations easy to tell apart, comfortable, brief, and appropriate to the user’s situation. It also accounts for differences between Watch and iPhone feedback.

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

haptics-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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Haptics Design

Create haptic patterns that are distinct, readable, and respectful of user context.

When to use this skill

  • When adding or editing haptic patterns
  • Before App Store submission
  • After feedback about confusing or overwhelming haptics
  • When expanding watchOS support

Core Principles

  • Distinctiveness: each pattern must feel meaningfully different
  • Clarity: short sequences over long, complex patterns
  • Comfort: avoid intense or rapid sequences
  • Respect context: don’t interrupt focus unnecessarily

Step 1: Pattern Taxonomy

Define and document a small set of “pattern types”:

  • Gentle reminder
  • Segment transition
  • Final completion
  • Warning/overrun

Each pattern should be:

  • Short (under ~2.5s)
  • Unique in rhythm (not just stronger intensity)

Step 2: Intensity & Sharpness Bounds

Guidelines:

  • Avoid max intensity by default
  • Avoid frequent sharp taps for long sessions
  • Provide a “soft” mode if needed

Step 3: Watch vs iPhone Haptics

  • watchOS haptics are more noticeable—use lower frequency
  • Avoid rapid multi-tap patterns on Watch
  • Ensure Always On Display (AOD) respects reduced activity

Step 4: User Control

  • Offer a quick preview of patterns
  • Allow per-pattern intensity scaling
  • Respect silent mode / system haptic settings

Step 5: Battery Impact

  • Avoid haptic loops or frequent timers
  • Prefer event-driven haptics
  • Pause haptics when app is not active

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.
