SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Reviewing macOS app interfaces against Apple's evolving design standards is time-consuming and error-prone, especially with the new Liquid Glass design system and macOS 26 (Tahoe) Human Interface Guidelines. This Skill provides a structured, expert-level audit of SwiftUI and AppKit interfaces so issues are caught before users do. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Liquid Glass Design Audit: Evaluates transparency, materials, depth hierarchy, animations, and menu bar integration against the macOS 26 design language. - HIG & Platform Compliance Checks: Verifies window chrome, toolbars, menus, keyboard shortcuts, navigation patterns, and control usage against macOS Tahoe guidelines. - Accessibility Review: Checks VoiceOver support, keyboard navigation, Dynamic Type, color contrast, and reduce-motion handling. - Use Case: Before shipping a SwiftUI macOS app, paste your view code or screenshots and receive a prioritized report with critical issues, HIG violations, and concrete SwiftUI/AppKit fix examples. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review your macOS app's SwiftUI view code or screenshots for macOS Tahoe HIG compliance and accessibility issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a macOS app for HIG compliance?▼

Provide your SwiftUI or AppKit view code or screenshots and request a UI review. The audit checks window chrome, toolbars, menus, navigation patterns, and controls against macOS Tahoe guidelines, returning prioritized issues with code fix examples.

What is the Liquid Glass design system in macOS Tahoe?▼

Liquid Glass is the design language for macOS 26, iOS 26, and iPadOS 26 built on transparency, system materials like .ultraThinMaterial, depth-based hierarchy, and smooth spring animations. It includes a fully transparent menu bar and redesigned Control Center cards.

Does this review cover both SwiftUI and AppKit?▼

Yes, the review covers SwiftUI patterns like NavigationSplitView and Table as well as modern AppKit with NSVisualEffectView, NSViewController, and hybrid NSHostingView integration. It also flags known Tahoe-specific SwiftUI layout and animation issues.

How do I check VoiceOver accessibility in a macOS app?▼

The review verifies accessibility labels, hints, traits, keyboard focus management, Dynamic Type scaling, and WCAG color contrast. It provides SwiftUI and AppKit code examples for fixing missing labels, hidden decorative elements, and custom control roles.

What are known SwiftUI layout issues on macOS Tahoe?▼

Some SwiftUI layouts break on Tahoe, and frame changes may not animate smoothly inside NSHostingView. Workarounds include explicit frames and spacing, specific animation timing like .easeInOut(duration: 0.2), and testing transparency effects on actual hardware.
