 "title": "Build a mobile app's screens from top-grossing patterns",
 "page_title": "How to build a mobile app's screens from top-grossing patterns with Appllama Skills",
 "summary": "Have an agent study top-grossing apps in a category, then build the screens for your new app to a simulator-checked bar.",
 "who": "A solo founder or app builder starting a new mobile app who wants screens that look as finished as the category leaders.",
 "problem": "Designing every screen of a new app from scratch is slow, and screens without reference often look generic or off-pattern.",
 "outcome": "A working set of native-feeling Expo / React Native screens, each checked in the simulator against patterns extracted from the category's top-grossing apps.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npx skills@latest add appllama/appllama-skills` from your project root.",
  "Connect the Appllama MCP at `https://mcp.appllama.io/mcp` and approve it with your Appllama account.",
  "Run `get_credits` to confirm your credit balance before starting, since every other call spends one credit.",
  "Give your agent the app idea and ask it to follow the appllama-usage build-from-scratch playbook, then the appllama-app-design-skill build bar.",
  "Review the simulator recordings the agent produces and reject any screen that does not match the category's design language."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the appllama/appllama-skills repo, study the top-grossing apps in the <category> category through the Appllama MCP, then build the core screens of <app idea> in Expo / React Native. Output the screen list and simulator recordings, and verify that each screen was checked in the simulator before you report it done.",

 "lang": "",
 "requirements": [
  "An MCP-capable agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex",
