The distinct prerequisites record for Apple capability index. This page is proposal-only.

Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate**

## Record status

**Record ID**: field-guide:apple-capability-index

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: plan

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Tim

**Owner role**: Not separately recorded

**Owner status**: Not separately recorded

**Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review

**Working browser surface:** [Field guides — documentation](<https://guthlabs.ai/docs/field-guides/>) — Inspect the guide and persist local checkpoints. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

## Entry evidence and required records

Before the procedure starts, an operator must identify the source, owner, scope, and required records below. Missing evidence holds the guide.

- Source record field-guide:apple-capability-index

- Capability opportunity records

- Evidence and source-locator records

- Platform constraint records

- Review or approval record

- Deadline/to-do records for unresolved verification

## Intended operators and ownership

- Tim

- Apple platform discovery agents

- Swift and SwiftUI implementation agents

- App Intents and Spotlight agents

- Cross-device product family planners

- Native capability reviewers

Being listed as an intended operator does not grant execution or publication authority.

## Conditions that hold the guide before entry

- Confusing a named Apple native surface with an implemented or connected feature.

- Claiming App Intents, Spotlight, SwiftUI, cross-device behavior, deployment, publication, or qualification without source-bound evidence.

- Assigning canonical record ownership to PointGuard instead of the specialist app.

- Treating prototype or indexed local routes as production applications or authoritative databases.

- Inventing provider, credential, customer, or external calendar effects.

- Losing provenance, source locators, hashes, or revision history when consolidating evidence.

- Creating keyword-only documentation routes with no distinct useful content.

- Using inaccessible controls, unlabeled fields, color-only status, or interaction patterns that cannot be keyboard, assistive-technology, or reduced-motion reviewed.

- Allowing overdue or incomplete qualification tasks to appear complete.

- Exposing private work through public documentation or search partitions.
