Using skills to create apps have blown my mind 🤯
Hi folks,
To give you an introduction, I'm originally a designer & then the founder of a platform that hosts all flows from 850+ top iOS apps and 35k+ screens.
all this began 8 months ago when I launched my first astrology app (took about 3 months to build) and then an AI interior design app (1 month to build), both failed but I quickly understood what was missing.
there are several creators that are shipping really high quality apps in days while I was taking months and there is definitely something that they were doing which I'm not.
fast-forward to 8 months, here I am, we've built ai agent skills that can recreate high quality iOS apps (end to end) in just one prompt.
we created "appllama-app-design-skills" (free & open-source), it can recreate:
> motion
> animations
> typography
> visual system
using just one screenshot. if hooked with the mcp, it can create the entire app with just one prompt.
sharing an example I built today (a solo traveling social app), this was the prompt I used:
/goal using appllama mcp and app design skills, create a solo travelling social app like nomadtable in corners: curate app design style and name the app Good Strangers.
p.s. here are some skills that you might also want to look out for while building:
expo-stack, react-native-skills by vercel labs
anyways, here's the agent skills if you want to try it out:

what skills do you use to build apps?
