Add to setup to save this item as a reference. Ahel cannot run it, and signing in will not install it.

What your AI can do with it

  • Search Apple's Human Interface Guidelines
  • Look up specific guidance and design rules
  • Audit a project to see how well it follows Apple's recommendations
  • Answer design questions using Apple's own guidance

Getting started

  1. Save this item in Your setup as a reference.
  2. Read the source or reference documentation for its setup requirements. Saving it here does not connect it to your AI.
  3. Check this page for availability before trying to install it through Ahel.

From the project's README

As published by raintree-technology/hig-doctor in README.md. This repository publishes several servers, so only the opening is shown here.

Active open-source project · MIT tooling with attributed Apple reference content

HIG Doctor helps developers and coding agents find interface issues before release. It checks Apple-platform source against Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines and checks web and cross-platform source against aligned accessibility and interface-quality rules.

Run an audit

npx hig-doctor .

The CLI detects the project frameworks, reports concerns by severity, and points to a specific fix and source reference. This result is generated from the committed test/fixtures/readme-audit project and checked in the test suite:

2 moderate concerns · swiftui · 1 file
View.swift:5 · swift/navigation-view-deprecated
View.swift:7 · swift/hardcoded-color

The audit catalog currently contains 431 rules across 14 frameworks. Counts are generated from the rule catalog and checked in CI; they are coverage inventory, not a claim of complete HIG conformance.
