How appllama/appllama-skills works
This repository is a pair of agent skills for researching and building mobile apps, not an app runtime. The principal workflow is: an agent uses Appllama research guidance to study winning apps, then applies the app-design guidance to build and refine screens through a simulator-verified loop. The README documents these capabilities and their relationship; source excerpts were not provided, so the graph avoids claims about internal skill-file calls or reference loading.
