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.

Many people think nannies, caregivers and housekeepers are independent contractors. They are actually your employees, even if they only work part-time or for multiple families. The IRS is really clear that you are required to withhold and pay employer taxes. That sounds complicated and hard to do, and that’s where we come in. We believe you deserve an easy way to pay legally so you’re always above board. We created Nest Payroll, a native iOS app for your iPhone or iPad, which takes care of all your tax work, while making payday a cinch. Why does paying on the books even matter? It benefits everyone: Your employee receives the safety net of unemployment insurance, Social Security, Medicare, the ability to build credit, and verifiable income for basic needs like renting an apartment. You’ll sleep better knowing you’re protected from fines, penalties, wage theft lawsuits and risk to your professional career that can be triggered when a former employee files for unemployment. You might think it’s expensive to pay employer taxes, but it really isn’t too bad! It’s about 10% more, which is well worth the peace of mind you’ll get for following the law. And paying above board means you can take advantage of tax credits for dependent care. Many families even break even. https://nestpayroll.com/terms-of-service https://nestpayroll.com/privacy-policy-app-link Support URL https://nestpayroll.com/support

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.
