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

Reach is a quick and efficient personalized messaging app for the iPhone. It makes it easy and simple to communicate with masses of people as if texting one on one (the recipient's do not see each other, just like a BCC) ** Downloaded by over 250,000 users! ** - Runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac* - Featured on Gizmodo: "The best we've found is Reach, which works with iMessage or plain SMS, and can even personalize each message for you" Features: • Set up distribution groups • Send messages with ease • Each message is sent individually (recipient's do not see each other) • Sync between devices • Backup your data to your iCloud • Import/Export CSV files • Google Voice integration • Supports setting up groups, contacts, and messages on Mac* Download now for free! *Mac support - only with Apple sillicon. Does not support sending texts, only setting up groups, contacts, and messages. Sending must be done from iPhone/iPad. ~~AS EASY AS 1-2-3~~ 1. Add contacts to a group 2. Write a message 3. Send via Text, SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Email, and more! Msg & data rates may apply. ~~ADDITIONAL FEATURES~~ • Message Templates -- personalize each message with the recipient’s name. • Translation of Text -- have your texts be automatically translated into the recipient's preferred language. • CSV Importing -- import your contacts from a spreadsheet (Excel, Apple Numbers). • Google Voice support -- use your Google Voice account to send SMS in the U.S. and Canada for free (G Suite Business is not yet supported). • Carbon Copy Recipient (CC) - add a CC recipient to always receive a copy of each individual text sent (use case: an accountability contact who must be present in all one-on-one conversations) ~~WHY REACH?~~ Reach is the best group texting app to communicate with people on individual level. Unlike messy group chats, Reach lets you create separate groups of people from your contacts list and send them personalized SMS or text messages, iMessages, emails, or even WhatsApp texts, effortlessly. The recipient's get a personal message from you, and do not see the other recipient's in the list. Messaging with Reach is always better because the app ensures none of the recipients see other recipients in the groups. Create groups based on personal contacts, professional contacts, and more and keep them organized with Reach. Improve workflow productivity by creating reusable recipient groups, and easily blast personalized texts and email messages. Reach lets you receive responses from each recipient in an organized manner. Continue private messaging with each recipient once you receive replies on respective platforms. To include more people in your individual conversations, add Carbon Copy (CC) Automatic recipient in any group. ~~REACH UNLIMITED SUBSCRIPTION~~ The free version of the app allows sending messages up to 8 contacts and 2 groups.

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.
