## Description

Use the Appllama MCP (mcp.appllama.io) well, research real top-grossing mobile apps, their screens, flows, and UI elements, then build from what you learn. Load when the Appllama MCP is connected and the task involves building a mobile app or screen, researching app design patterns, studying onboarding/paywall/feature flows, improving an existing screen, or whenever an appllama_* / search_apps / list_app_screens tool is available. Covers the tool map, pagination, expiring media, and the full build-from-research playbooks.

# Appllama Usage Skill

Appllama is the design library of top-grossing mobile apps, their real
screens, flows, and UI patterns, with revenue and download context. The MCP
puts that library in an agent's hands: **not just a research tool, a builder's
tool.** You study what already wins, then you build something better.

Pair this skill with **appllama-app-design-skill** for every design/implementation
step, this skill tells you what to study; that one tells you how to build.
