Apple-derived product doctrine

This module extracts transferable product discipline from Apple's current, first-party design guidance. It is not an Apple look-alike kit. Do not copy Apple chrome, redistribute Apple fonts, symbols, templates, device bezels, or present Apple trade dress as an AwesomeDS asset.

Use this material when a product spans devices, inputs, constrained system surfaces, permissions, spatial contexts, or agent-assisted design work.

Modules

Product principles — eight decision gates for deciding what deserves to exist and how it earns attention and trust.
Capability adaptation — adapt intent to the capabilities present instead of stretching one screen across platforms.
Glanceable and live surfaces — lifecycle contracts for widgets, live status, notifications, and ambient surfaces.
System-mediated actions — semantic entities and actions that can safely appear outside the primary app.
Spatial interfaces — comfort, depth, consent, and fallback rules for spatial presentation.
Trust, permissions, and icon systems — contextual permission requests and coherent, accessible symbol families.
Agent workflow — go wide, remix, repeat with realistic content, edge cases, risk review, and human judgment.

Coverage gate

A feature has not completed platform review until it declares presentation, input, attention, navigation, accessibility, environment, fallback, privacy, and restoration behavior. Screenshots and a single ideal-state demo are not coverage.
