Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.
Use it in TypingMind
Enable Apple Design Os in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.
SkillsLoad skill"apple-design-os"
GPT-6 Astra
The model loads Apple Design Os on its own as soon as a request matches it.
Works with any AI model
AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Apple Design Os is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.
Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.
Skill instructions
This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.
Apple Design — OS Surfaces & Components
Designing native-feeling app UI across Apple's platforms, plus the standard component library.
When to use
Laying out an iOS/iPadOS/macOS/visionOS/watchOS screen or its chrome.
Choosing/standardizing a component (nav bar, list style, button hierarchy, sheet, alert, empty state).
Core rules
Anchor primary controls in reach — bottom on iPhone (tab bar 49pt + safe area), and prefer the platform's native bar/sheet patterns over reinventing chrome.
Sheets use detents (medium/large/custom) with a grabber; modals are for focused tasks, not navigation.
Match the platform's input model: touch (44pt targets) on iOS, pointer precision + the global menu bar on macOS, gaze (60pt targets) + eye/pinch on visionOS, Digital Crown + glanceability on watchOS.
Use the documented button hierarchy (borderedProminent → bordered → borderless) and the right list style (plain / grouped / insetGrouped); always design empty states (ContentUnavailableView).
iOS 26 / macOS Tahoe restyle controls in Liquid Glass (floating, translucent) — see apple-design-materials.
Use when designing app UI for Apple operating systems — iOS/iPadOS surfaces (sheets, detents, tab bars, large titles, widgets, lock screen, Dynamic Island), macOS (windows, traffic lights, sidebars, menus, vibrancy), visionOS spatial design, watchOS (complications, Digital Crown), or the standard UIKit/SwiftUI component anatomy (nav bars, lists, forms, buttons, alerts, search, empty states). Part of the apple-design family.

Why use Apple Design Os on TypingMind?
Because you install it once and use it with any model. Apple Design Os is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.
How do I install Apple Design Os in TypingMind?
Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/s1gmamale1/apple-design-skills/tree/main/skills/apple-design-os. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.
Which AI models can use Apple Design Os?
Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.
How many AI models can I use with Apple Design Os?
As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Apple Design Os with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.
Is the Apple Design Os AI skill free?
It is published on GitHub by s1gmamale1. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.
What are AI skills?
An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.
How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?
A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
