Can I use this for non-mobile Apple platforms?

Yes, it supports the entire Apple ecosystem including macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS.

How do I update the context if my project requirements change?

Simply run the skill again; it will read the existing document, ask what has changed, and update only the necessary sections while preserving your previous information.

What is the purpose of the .claude/apple-design-context.md file?

It serves as a single source of truth for your app's design and platform parameters, allowing Claude to provide specific Apple HIG guidance without asking redundant questions.

Is this compatible with both SwiftUI and UIKit?

Absolutely; the skill identifies your UI framework and tailors the context document to reflect your specific technology stack, whether it is SwiftUI, UIKit, or AppKit.

How does the skill discover project information?

It scans files like README.md, Info.plist, Package.swift, and project assets to identify supported platforms, frameworks, and existing design tokens.

Mobile Development

Establishes and maintains a centralized Apple Human Interface Guidelines context to streamline design-driven development.

This skill automates the creation of a persistent Apple Design Context file (.claude/apple-design-context.md) by scanning your codebase for platform targets, UI frameworks, and existing assets. By centralizing information about your app's category, technology stack (SwiftUI/UIKit), and accessibility goals, it allows other Apple HIG skills to provide tailored, noise-free guidance without repeatedly asking the same foundational questions. It ensures that every UI/UX suggestion Claude provides is perfectly aligned with your specific project constraints and Apple's design standards.
