Hig Technologies

raintree-technology/apple-hig-skills

Covers Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for integrating system technologies like Siri, Apple Pay, HealthKit, HomeKit, ARKit, and about 15 others. If you're building anything that hooks into Apple services or frameworks, this gives you the platform-specific patterns, privacy requirements, and implementation checklists straight from HIG. The skill emphasizes that each technology has established user expectations, so you can't just wing the UX. Cross-references other HIG skills for inputs and components when those intersect. Honestly most useful when you're past "can I do this" and into "how should this work according to Apple."

Apple HIG: Technologies

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

Key Principles

  1. Apple technologies extend app capabilities through system integration. Each technology has established user-facing patterns; deviating creates confusion and erodes trust.

  2. Privacy and user control are paramount. Especially for health, payment, and identity technologies. Request only needed data, explain why, respect choices.

  3. Siri: natural, predictable, recoverable. Clear conversational intent phrases that complete quickly and confirm results. Support App Shortcuts for proactive suggestions. Handle errors with clear fallbacks.

  4. Payments: transparent and frictionless. Standard Apple Pay button styles. Never ask for card details when Apple Pay is available. Clearly describe what the user is buying, the price, and whether it's one-time or subscription.

  5. Health data is deeply personal. Explain the health benefit before requesting access. CareKit tasks should be encouraging. ResearchKit consent flows must be thorough, readable, and respect autonomy.
