Apple Design Skill

Apple Design Skill

Cross-platform UI/UX design reviewer grounded in Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), adapted as universal design rules for **mobile** and **desktop** apps.

Works with any framework: **Flutter**, **Tauri**, **Electron**, **React Native**, **SwiftUI**, **UIKit**.

What It Does

• Design Review — Systematic audit against 53 design guideline documents covering color, typography, layout, accessibility, motion, gestures, and more
• Design Improvement — Prioritized, actionable fixes with framework-specific implementation guidance
• Specialized Modes — App icon review, accessibility audit, dark mode review, Liquid Glass / glassmorphism review, generative AI UX review
• Cross-Platform — All guidelines generalized from iOS → mobile, macOS → desktop; references Apple-specific APIs only in a translation table
