Three Agent Skills packs let AI agents replicate top iOS app designs
Overview
Meng Shao (@shao__meng) describes three Agent Skills packs that let AI coding agents recreate the design of top iOS apps: Appllama for design research and native-feel standards, Expo's official skills for project and release practices, and Emil Kowalski's skills for animation and UI detail.
Shao says the three cover design, engineering, and motion together, and presents them as an alternative to reverse-engineering IPA files.
The Appllama MCP server, at mcp.appllama.io, is a Pro-tier feature, but its design skills can be installed separately. Claude Code and Codex can use the packs as official plugins; other agents use the skills CLI.
