Appllama Skills

Abstract

1. Introduction

Agent skills that make AI agents genuinely good at building mobile apps — studied against the top-grossing apps, finished to a simulator-verified bar.

Appllama is the design library of top-grossing mobile apps — their real screens, flows, and UI patterns, with revenue and download context. These skills turn that library into an agent's working method: study every screen of the apps that already win, extract the category's design language, then build screens that hold up next to them.

They are designed as a pair: usage decides what to study, design decides how to build, and both insist the loop only ends in a simulator with a screen you can't fault.

2. Objective

A builder, not just a researcher. Agent skills that turn top-grossing app patterns into native-quality mobile screens.

This project demonstrates how modern tools can be applied to a real-world Mobile App Development problem.

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Which framework is used and why (native vs cross-platform)?
2. How is app state managed across screens?
3. Where is the data stored — locally, Firebase or a REST backend?
4. How are permissions (camera, location, storage) handled?
5. How would you publish this app to the Play Store / App Store?
