skills/hig-project-context/SKILL.md
Create or update a shared Apple design context document that other HIG skills use to tailor guidance. Use when the user says "set up my project context," "what platforms am I targeting," "configure HIG settings," or when starting a new Apple platform project. Also activates when other HIG skills need project context but none exists yet. This skill creates .claude/apple-design-context.md so that hig-foundations, hig-platforms, hig-components-*, hig-inputs, and hig-technologies can provide targeted advice without repetitive questions.

Apple HIG: Project Context
Create and maintain .claude/apple-design-context.md so other HIG skills can skip redundant questions.
Check for .claude/apple-design-context.md before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered.
Gathering Context
Before asking questions, auto-discover context from:
- README.md -- Product description, platform targets
- Package.swift / .xcodeproj -- Supported platforms, minimum OS versions, dependencies
- Info.plist -- App category, required capabilities, supported orientations
- Existing code -- Import statements reveal frameworks (SwiftUI vs UIKit, HealthKit, etc.)
- Assets.xcassets -- Color assets, icon sets, dark mode variants
- Accessibility audit -- Grep for accessibility modifiers/attributes
Present findings and ask the user to confirm or correct. Then gather anything still missing:
1. Product Overview
- What does the app do? (one sentence)
- Category (productivity, social, health, game, utility, etc.)
- Stage (concept, development, shipped, redesign)
2. Target Platforms
- Which Apple platforms? (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS)
- Minimum OS versions
- Universal or platform-specific?
3. Technology Stack
- UI framework: SwiftUI, UIKit, AppKit, or mixed?
- Architecture: single-window, multi-window, document-based?
- Apple technologies in use? (HealthKit, CloudKit, ARKit, etc.)
4. Design System
- System defaults or custom design system?
- Brand colors, fonts, icon style?
- Dark mode and Dynamic Type support status
5. Accessibility Requirements
- Target level (baseline, enhanced, comprehensive)
- Specific considerations (VoiceOver, Switch Control, etc.)
- Regulatory requirements (WCAG, Section 508)
6. User Context
- Primary personas (1-3)
- Key use cases and environments (desk, on-the-go, glanceable, immersive)
- Known pain points or design challenges
7. Existing Design Assets
- Figma/Sketch files?
- Apple Design Resources in use?
- Existing component library?

Updating Context
When updating an existing context document:
- Read the current
.claude/apple-design-context.md - Ask what has changed
- Update only the changed sections
- Preserve all unchanged information
