# Gesture Patterns

Make swipes and drags people can actually find

## What this does

Gestures are quick once you know them and invisible until you do. This works out how swipe, drag and long-press should behave and how people find out they exist at all. Reach for it when the main way in is gestural rather than tapping buttons. Standard iOS and Android gestures are covered elsewhere.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Design swipe, drag and long-press behaviour
- Make a hidden gesture discoverable
- Work out gestures for touch and pointer

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Gesture Patterns

This designs gesture interactions for touch and pointer, including swipe, drag and long-press, and how discoverable each one is.

Use it when input is gestural. For OS-standard gestures on iOS and Android, it points to the platform-conventions skill.

## Questions

### Is Gesture Patterns safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Gesture Patterns and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 20e34c4a587e, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/gesture-patterns.

### How do I install Gesture Patterns?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/gesture-patterns on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/Owl-Listener/designer-skills/tree/20e34c4a587e5eb09fcdf8351fa97b3ad761b31e/interaction-design/skills/gesture-patterns. Install from that link, not the branch.
