What it does
Deep expertise in Google's Material Design 3 system. Covers:
- Dynamic color —
ColorScheme.fromSeed, tonal palette generation, light/dark scheme derivation - Component library — the MD3 components in Jetpack Compose with correct token bindings
- Token system — color roles, typography scale, shape scale, elevation/tonal elevation
- Layout — Scaffold, NavigationBar vs NavigationRail vs NavigationDrawer by window size class
- Motion — spring-based animations, shared element transitions, container transforms
- Compliance audit — checklist scoring MD3 conformance
- Flutter — secondary coverage with
ThemeData+useMaterial3: true - Web — a limited path through
@material/web, which upstream notes is in maintenance mode
The skill installs together with its reference files (color system, component catalog, layout, navigation, theming, typography and shape), which it points to throughout.
When NOT to use
- iOS / SwiftUI — use
apple-hig-skillsorliquid-glass-skill - Cross-platform HIG patterns — use
