Illustrative example: an invoice app for independent contractors. Your kit is tailored to the app you choose; this is not its generated content.

Feature spec

Goal: Send a clear invoice after finishing a job.

  • Add a client, line items, a due date, and payment instructions.
  • Preview the total before exporting a PDF.
  • Keep an editable draft if export fails.

Screen plan

Invoice editor: Client at the top, editable line items in the middle, total and preview action at the bottom.

States: Empty draft, validation errors beside each field, exporting, and a retry action that preserves the draft.

Differentiate and validate

Hypothesis: Contractors need faster repeat invoices more than more templates.

First experiment: Test duplicating a previous job with five contractors. Watch where they hesitate before expanding the feature set.

The full kit adds a phased build plan, evidence notes, tool prompts, and implementation guidance. It is a plan for your coding agent, not a finished app.

Usage: Mechanics are fair game; never reuse the original name, branding, assets, or verbatim copy.

App Store description

Sunrise Simulator allows you to control LIFX and Hue lights as a sunrise alarm clock. You can choose the duration of the sunrise and your desired wakeup time. During the sunrise the app will gradually brighten the lights and increase the color temperature from warm to cool. If you haven't woken up by your set time, the app will play a sound you have chosen. You can control multiple lights from different manufacturers at the same time. You must have a smart lightbulb for the sunrise simulator to be fully functional. If you are in a location without a smart bulb, you can use the phone torch to simulate the sunrise. To do this, you MUST NOT lock your phone. If you do not any smart bulbs you can use the app as an audible alarm. The audible alarm can be any sound from your playlist, or you can choose from a variety of natural sounds such as waves, rain or bird calls. If you are a heavy sleeper you can also choose a siren. The siren setting will also strobe the light after the sunrise if you haven't cancelled the alarm. You can also use the app as a night clock as long as you do not lock your phone. You can adjust the brightness of the display by dragging your finger up or down on the screen. Version 3 supports multiple locations, so you can have different setups for different houses. The app will attempt to determine the location automatically, but you can also set the location manually.

Build scope

Plan a focused first version with your coding agent. These are planning assumptions, not a delivery guarantee.

Define the first version

Choose one audience and one core workflow. Use the kit to agree on its screens, data, and acceptance criteria before building.

Set boundaries

Decide which secondary features, integrations, and platform support can wait. Your version does not need to reproduce everything in the original.

Check the hard parts

Validate external services, specialist technology, data access, and ongoing costs for your chosen scope.

A reliable timeline needs an agreed scope and a technical check. Ask your agent to estimate the phases in BUILD_PLAN.md after that review.
