Apple HIG: Presentation Components

Overview

This public intake copy packages

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/hig-components-dialogs

https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

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

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Output Format, Questions to Ask, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Apple HIG guidance for presentation components including alerts, action sheets, popovers, sheets, and digit entry views.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: Output Format

1. Recommended presentation type with rationale and why alternatives are less suitable.
2. Content guidelines -- title, message, button labels per Apple's tone and brevity rules.
3. Dismiss behavior -- how the user dismisses and what happens (save, discard, cancel).
4. Alternatives -- when the scenario might not need a modal at all (inline feedback, undo, progressive disclosure).

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @hig-components-dialogs-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @hig-components-dialogs-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @hig-components-dialogs-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @hig-components-dialogs-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Alerts: sparingly, for critical situations. Errors needing attention, destructive action confirmations, or information requiring acknowledgment. They interrupt flow and demand a response.
• Sheets: focused tasks that maintain context. Slides in from the edge (or attaches to a window on macOS). Use for creating items, editing settings, multi-step forms.
• Popovers: non-modal on iPad and Mac. Appear next to the trigger element, dismissed by tapping outside. For additional information, options, or controls without taking over the screen.
• Action sheets: choosing among actions. Present when picking from multiple actions, especially if one is destructive. iPhone: slide up from bottom. iPad: appear as popovers.
• Minimize interruptions. Before reaching for a modal, consider inline presentation or making the action undoable instead.
• Concise, actionable alert text. Short descriptive title. Brief message body if needed. Button labels should be specific verbs ("Delete", "Save"), not "OK".
• Mark destructive actions clearly. Destructive button style (red text). Place destructive buttons where users are less likely to tap reflexively.

Imported: Key Principles

1. Alerts: sparingly, for critical situations. Errors needing attention, destructive action confirmations, or information requiring acknowledgment. They interrupt flow and demand a response.

2. Sheets: focused tasks that maintain context. Slides in from the edge (or attaches to a window on macOS). Use for creating items, editing settings, multi-step forms.

3. Popovers: non-modal on iPad and Mac. Appear next to the trigger element, dismissed by tapping outside. For additional information, options, or controls without taking over the screen.

4. Action sheets: choosing among actions. Present when picking from multiple actions, especially if one is destructive. iPhone: slide up from bottom. iPad: appear as popovers.

5. Minimize interruptions. Before reaching for a modal, consider inline presentation or making the action undoable instead.

6. Concise, actionable alert text. Short descriptive title. Brief message body if needed. Button labels should be specific verbs ("Delete", "Save"), not "OK".

7. Mark destructive actions clearly. Destructive button style (red text). Place destructive buttons where users are less likely to tap reflexively.

8. Provide a cancel option for alerts and action sheets with multiple actions. On action sheets, cancel appears at the bottom, separated.

9. Digit entry: focused and accessible. Appropriately sized input fields, automatic advancement between digits, support for paste and autofill.

10. Adapt presentation to platform. The same interaction may use different components on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and visionOS.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/hig-components-dialogs

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated

SKILL.md

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
