Skill Content

# Apple HIG: Navigation Components Check for `.claude/apple-design-context.md` before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered. ## Key Principles 1. **Search: discoverable with instant feedback.** Place search fields where users expect them (top of list, toolbar/navigation bar). Show results as the user types. 2. **Page controls: position in a flat page sequence.** For discrete, equally weighted pages (onboarding, photo gallery). Show current page and total count. 3. **Path controls: file hierarchy navigation.** macOS path controls display location within a directory structure and allow jumping to any ancestor. 4. **Search scopes narrow large result sets.** Provide scope buttons so users can filter without complex queries. 5. **Clear empty states for search.** Helpful message suggesting corrections or alternatives, not a blank screen. 6. **Page controls are not for hierarchical navigation.** Flat, linear sequences only. Use navigation controllers, tab bars, or sidebars for hierarchy. 7. **Keep path controls concise.** Show meaningful segments only. Users can click any segment to navigate directly. 8. **Support keyboard for search.** Command-F and system search shortcuts should activate search. ## Reference Index | Reference | Topic | Key content | |---|---|---| | [search-fields.md](references/search-fields.md) | Search fields | Scopes, tokens, instant results, placement | | [page-controls.md](references/page-controls....
