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.

1# Appllama Usage Skill23Appllama is the design library of top-grossing mobile apps — their real4screens, flows, and UI patterns, with revenue and download context. The MCP5puts that library in an agent's hands: **not just a research tool, a builder's6tool.** You study what already wins, then you build something better.78Pair this skill with **appllama-app-design-skill** for every design/implementation9step — this skill tells you what to study; that one tells you how to build.1011## Ground rules (read first)12131. **Start with `get_credits` — it's free.** It tells you the balance,14 limits, and reset date. Pro includes 1,500 credits a month (they reset in15 full on the 1st, UTC); every other call spends 1 credit.162. **Go deep.** Design language lives in the whole journey, not a sample —17 walk every screen of the apps that matter for the task, images included.18 That is exactly what the library is for. The one thing that's against the19 terms is harvesting: sweeping the catalog to extract the dataset itself20 rather than to answer a real task. That isn't research, and it's detected21 server-side.223. **Media URLs expire in ~1 hour.** Download/view what you study promptly.23 If links died mid-task, re-request that page for fresh ones — screen ids24 are durable, links are not.254. **Ignore the watermark.** Every Appllama image and video carries a small26 Appllama watermark in the top-left corner. It is provenance, not part of27…
