hig-components-search

hig-components-search is a skill for Claude Code from raintree-technology/hig-doctor. It costs 115 tokens per session (711 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Apple Human Interface Guidelines for navigation controls such as search fields, page controls, and path controls. Path controls are navigation bars that show a file or folder's location and let users move to a parent location.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing search, breadcrumbs, pagination, photo galleries, onboarding pages, file navigation, or other navigation controls in an Apple-platform app.
Why use it?
It helps users find content, understand where they are, and move through either a flat sequence of pages or a hierarchy. It also explains empty search results, result filtering, and keyboard support.

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

hig-components-search 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 13d 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 HIG: Navigation Components

Check for .claude/apple-design-context.md before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered.

Key Principles

  1. Search: discoverable with instant feedback. Place search fields where users expect them (top of list, toolbar/navigation bar). Show results as the user types.

  2. Page controls: position in a flat page sequence. For discrete, equally weighted pages (onboarding, photo gallery). Show current page and total count.

  3. Path controls: file hierarchy navigation. macOS path controls display location within a directory structure and allow jumping to any ancestor.

  4. Search scopes narrow large result sets. Provide scope buttons so users can filter without complex queries.

  5. Clear empty states for search. Helpful message suggesting corrections or alternatives, not a blank screen.

  6. Page controls are not for hierarchical navigation. Flat, linear sequences only. Use navigation controllers, tab bars, or sidebars for hierarchy.

  7. Keep path controls concise. Show meaningful segments only. Users can click any segment to navigate directly.

  8. Support keyboard for search. Command-F and system search shortcuts should activate search.

Reference Index

Reference Topic Key content
search-fields.md Search fields Scopes, tokens, instant results, placement
page-controls.md Page controls Dot indicators, flat page sequences
path-controls.md Path controls Breadcrumbs, ancestor navigation

Output Format

  1. Component recommendation -- search field, page control, or path control, and why.
  2. Behavior specification -- interaction model (search-as-you-type, swipe for pages, click-to-navigate for paths).
  3. Platform differences across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS.

Questions to Ask

  1. What type of content is being searched or navigated?
  2. Which platforms?
  3. How large is the dataset?
  4. Is search the primary interaction?
