tvos
Apple Human Interface Guidelines for tvOS — UI components, controls, navigation, and platform conventions for Apple TV. Use when designing for Apple TV, building a tvOS UI, or auditing tvOS components. Pair with `foundations` for shared principles and `services` for framework integrations. User says: "design Apple TV UI", "tvOS component", "audit my tvOS app".
What this skill does
# tvOS Design Platform-specific HIG for tvOS. Components, controls, navigation patterns, and conventions unique to Apple TV. Pair with `foundations` for cross-platform principles and `services` for framework integrations. ## How to use 1. **Match the user's UI element to a topic** — most map directly to component or pattern names. 2. **Read only the matched references**. Directory topics live in `references/<topic>/`. 3. **Pull in `foundations`** for shared principles (color, typography, layout, accessibility, shared UI like rating indicators). 4. **Pull in `services`** when integrating Apple frameworks (Pay, HealthKit, Siri, sensors, media playback). 5. **Stay on tvOS.** For another Apple platform, point to the matching skill. ## Glossary |Topic|Reference|Summary| |---|---|---| |`alerts`|`alerts.md`|Use alerts sparingly| |`buttons`|`buttons.md`|Style| |`context-menus`|`context-menus.md`|context menu grants access to item-specific functionality without adding visual…| |`designing-for-tvos`|`designing-for-tvos.md`|tvOS provides vibrant content, deeply immersive experiences, and streamlined…| |`drag-and-drop`|`drag-and-drop/`|Depending on different factors, the drag and drop action may *move* the…| |`focus-and-selection`|`focus-and-selection.md`|Focus assists users in visually confirming the element they intend to interact…| |`image-views`|`image-views.md`|image view presents either a static image or an animated sequence against a…| |`images`|`images.md`|Different devices render visuals at varying resolutions| |`lists-and-tables`|`lists-and-tables.md`|Tables and lists display information arranged across one or more columns of rows| |`multitasking`|`multitasking.md`|Multitasking enables users to rapidly transition between applications and…| |`page-controls`|`page-controls.md`|page control presents a horizontal row of indicator images, with each image…| |`pickers`|`pickers.md`|picker presents one or more scrollable lists containing unique values from…| |`playing-audio`|`playing-audio.md`|Silence| |`playing-haptics`|`playing-haptics.md`|Haptic feedback can involve users' sense of touch, allowing you to integrate a…| |`playing-video`|`playing-video/`|system-provided video players support different aspect ratio playback modes…| |`progress-indicators`|`progress-indicators.md`|Progress indicators inform users that your application is actively working,…| |`remotes`|`remotes.md`|Use standard gestures for common actions| |`scroll-views`|`scroll-views.md`|scroll view enables users to examine content that exceeds the display…| |`search-fields`|`search-fields.md`|search field allows users to locate specific content within a collection using…| |`segmented-controls`|`segmented-controls.md`|segmented control presents as a linear arrangement of two or more segments,…| |`sheets`|`sheets.md`|sheet enables users to execute a focused task that is contextually linked to…| |`sidebars`|`sidebars.md`|sidebar is a view element that appears on the leading edge of a screen,…| |`sliders`|`sliders.md`|slider consists of a horizontal track and a control, known as the thumb, which…| |`split-views`|`split-views.md`|split view manages the simultaneous presentation of multiple adjacent content…| |`tab-bars`|`tab-bars.md`|tab bar enables users to navigate between the application's highest-level…| |`text-fields`|`text-fields.md`|text field is a rectangular region where users input or modify brief, specific…| |`text-views`|`text-views.md`|TextView presents multi-line, styled text content that may or may not be…| |`toolbars`|`toolbars/`|Toolbars perform actions on content within the view, facilitate movement…| |`top-shelf`|`top-shelf/`|Top Shelf presents a unique chance to highlight new, featured, or recommended…| |`windows`|`windows.md`|window displays the user interface views and components within your application…|

contribute
IncludedLocal-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".
architectural-analysis
IncludedUser-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).
mcp
IncludedModel Context Protocol (MCP) server development and tool management. Languages: Python, TypeScript. Capabilities: build MCP servers, integrate external APIs, discover/execute MCP tools, manage multi-server configs, design agent-centric tools. Actions: create, build, integrate, discover, execute, configure MCP servers/tools. Keywords: MCP, Model Context Protocol, MCP server, MCP tool, stdio transport, SSE transport, tool discovery, resource provider, prompt template, external API integration, Gemini CLI MCP, Claude MCP, agent tools, tool execution, server config. Use when: building MCP servers, integrating external APIs as MCP tools, discovering available MCP tools, executing MCP capabilities, configuring multi-server setups, designing tools for AI agents.
react-native-skia
IncludedDesign, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.
plaid
IncludedProduct Led AI Development — guides founders from idea to launched product. Six capabilities: Idea (discover a product idea), Validate (pressure-test the idea against fatal flaws, problem reality, competition, and 2-week MVP feasibility), Plan (vision intake + document generation), Design (translate image references into a design.md spec), Launch (go-to-market strategy), and Build (roadmap execution). Use when someone says "PLAID", "plaid idea", "help me find an idea", "product idea", "idea from my business", "idea from my expertise", "plaid validate", "validate my idea", "pressure-test", "is this idea good", "find fatal flaws", "validate the problem", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "product strategy", "plaid design", "design from image", "translate image to design", "create design.md", "extract design tokens", "plaid launch", "go-to-market", "launch plan", "GTM strategy", "launch playbook", "plaid build", "build the app", "start building", or "execute the roadmap".
nextjs-framer-motion-animations
IncludedAdds production-safe Motion for React or Framer Motion animations to Next.js apps, including reveal, hover and tap micro-interactions, whileInView, stagger, AnimatePresence, layout and layoutId transitions, reorder, scroll-linked UI, and lightweight route-content transitions. Use when the user asks to add, refactor, or debug Motion or Framer Motion in App Router or Pages Router codebases, especially around server/client boundaries, reduced motion, LazyMotion, bundle size, hydration, or route transitions. Avoid for GSAP-style timelines, WebGL or 3D scenes, heavy scroll storytelling, or CSS-only effects unless Motion is explicitly requested.
