Mobile Development

Implements Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for app layout, navigation patterns, and adaptive components across iOS, macOS, and visionOS.

This skill provides Claude with expert-level knowledge of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) specifically focused on layout and navigation architecture. It enables the AI to recommend appropriate structures—such as sidebars for hierarchical navigation or tab bars for peer sections—and ensures seamless adaptation across diverse devices including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. By leveraging system-standard components like NavigationSplitView and TabView, the skill helps developers build apps that feel native, remain accessible, and respond gracefully to multitasking environments and size class changes.
