Hig Components Content
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
-
Adapt to different sizes and contexts. Content components must work across screen sizes, orientations, and multitasking configurations. Use Auto Layout and size classes.
-
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.
-
Maintain visual hierarchy. Use spacing, sizing, and grouping to establish clear information hierarchy. Primary content should be visually prominent.
-
Use system components first. Evaluate UICollectionView, SwiftUI Charts, WKWebView before building custom. System components come with built-in accessibility and platform adaptation.
-
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.
