Apple Design Hig
Apple Design Hig is an Apple Human Interface Guidelines agent skill, DocC updater CLI, and MCP server that provides live access to official design specs.
This product delivers authoritative, deterministic access to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for AI coding agents, design systems engineers, and Model Context Protocol clients. It replaces guesswork by querying Apple's live DocC JSON endpoints directly, traversing the abstract syntax tree for over 172 official topics, and compiling them into Markdown. The repository unifies a bundled agent skill, a Model Context Protocol server, and a command-line interface. It is built for developers and AI assistants needing precise touch targets, color contrast rules, and layout specs across Apple platforms. Supported tools and clients include Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Zed.
