When you're building content display in Apple apps and need to know whether to use a collection view, Swift Charts, web view, or one of the other system components, this skill pulls straight from the Human Interface Guidelines to give you component recommendations with platform-specific guidance. It covers everything from image views and color pickers to share sheets and tvOS lockups, with a focus on accessibility requirements and when to reach for system components versus rolling your own. The nice thing here is the structured decision framework: it asks about content type, platform, and scale before recommending a path, which saves you from the usual "it depends" paralysis when choosing between approaches.

Apple HIG: Content 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. Adapt to different sizes and contexts. Content components must work across screen sizes, orientations, and multitasking configurations. Use Auto Layout and size classes.

  2. Make content accessible. Charts need audio graph support. Images need alt text. Collections need proper VoiceOver navigation order. All content components need labels and descriptions.

  3. Maintain visual hierarchy. Use spacing, sizing, and grouping to establish clear information hierarchy. Primary content should be visually prominent.

  4. Use system components first. Evaluate UICollectionView, SwiftUI Charts, WKWebView before building custom. System components come with built-in accessibility and platform adaptation.

  5. Respect platform conventions. A collection on tvOS uses large lockups with parallax. The same collection on iOS uses compact cells with touch targets. On visionOS, content gains depth and hover effects.
