Hig Project Context

This is the setup skill that makes all the other HIG skills smarter. It creates a shared context file at .claude/apple-design-context.md by auto-discovering what it can from your project files (Package.swift, Info.plist, existing code) and then asking targeted questions about what's missing. Once that's done, the other HIG skills (foundations, platforms, components, inputs, technologies) can pull from it instead of asking you the same questions about your target platforms and tech stack over and over. Run it when starting a new Apple platform project or when another HIG skill complains about missing context. The auto-discovery step is solid, it actually looks at your imports and assets before bothering you with questions.

Files

Apple HIG: Project Context

Create and maintain .claude/apple-design-context.md so other HIG skills can skip redundant questions.

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

Gathering Context

Before asking questions, auto-discover context from:

README.md -- Product description, platform targets
Package.swift / .xcodeproj -- Supported platforms, minimum OS versions, dependencies
Info.plist -- App category, required capabilities, supported orientations
Existing code -- Import statements reveal frameworks (SwiftUI vs UIKit, HealthKit, etc.)
Assets.xcassets -- Color assets, icon sets, dark mode variants
Accessibility audit -- Grep for accessibility modifiers/attributes

Present findings and ask the user to confirm or correct. Then gather anything still missing:
