Apple-native design language for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS — the editorial layer above HIG plus the domains craft skills miss: UX writing, interaction/form/loading states, and empty/error states. Use when writing or reviewing user-facing copy, button/error/alert text, designing forms or input validation, loading/empty/error/permission-denied states, deciding when to follow or tastefully break HIG, or judging whether a screen feels Apple-quality versus templated AI slop. Routes to swiftui-micro-craft for quantified spacing/typography/motion and apple-design for tokens and Liquid Glass.

From the source SKILL.md

The editorial layer for Apple apps on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS: the parts of "feels Apple-quality" that aren't a spacing number — copy, interaction states, empty/error states, and the judgment of when to follow versus tastefully break the Human Interface Guidelines. Think in capabilities (touch vs. pointer, compact vs. regular vs. window), not device names.
