Fact lookup: Apple Human Interface Guidelines corpus (greppable markdown). Query on demand for accessibility and ergonomic minimums (hit-target sizes, Dynamic Type), platform terminology, system component capabilities, and App-Review-relevant conventions. Not design direction.

# Human Interface Guidelines Reference

Local greppable copy of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines — an on-demand fact
lookup, not design direction.

Use it to answer factual questions: what a system component can do, what Apple
calls something, accessibility and ergonomic minimums (44pt hit targets,
Dynamic Type behavior, contrast), and conventions App Review actually checks.

**Visual design in our repos is the designing model's own taste.** Consult the
HIG for facts, never for aesthetics — it describes what the system provides
and requires, not what your screen should look like.
