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.

Tide Alert is the #1 app for tide predictions, tidal currents, and lunar phases, all in one beautiful interface. Powered by NOAA tide forecasts, it delivers accurate high tide and low tide times, current speeds, slack tide windows, swell data, water temperature, and wind conditions for thousands of stations along the US coastline. Set custom alerts for high tide, low tide, or any tide level you choose and never miss a window again. With full offline support, your tide data is always available, even without cell service. What's New: Tidal Currents & Slack Tides • View real-time tidal current speed overlayed on the tide chart. • See slack tide periods with estimated begin and end times. • Current data sourced from NOAA current prediction stations. Compare Tide Charts • Compare multiple stations side by side. • Add stations to compare directly from the map. Monthly High & Low • Redesigned monthly view with visual tide range bars. • See the month's lowest, highest, and average tidal range at a glance. Apple Watch • New ocean conditions view with wind, swell height, water temperature, and current speed. • Tap the wave icon on the main screen to check conditions instantly. Wind, Swell & Water Temperature • Hourly wind speed, gust, and direction forecasts. • Swell chart with height, period, and direction. • Water temperature from NOAA and Open-Meteo. Who is Tide Alert for? Anyone who needs to know the tides. Fishermen timing their catch. Surfers checking swell and tides together. Kayakers and paddleboarders planning safe launches.

Opportunities

AI-GENERATED OPPORTUNITY HYPOTHESES

These are generated suggestions, not verified review quotations. Check current App Store reviews and speak with users before treating a possible gap as a requirement.

Hypothesis 1

Allow users to set more specific alert conditions and frequency.

Assumption to check: Limited customization options for alerts

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 2

Implement real-time data updates for accuracy.

Assumption to check: Inaccurate tide predictions for certain locations

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 3

Simplify UI by grouping similar information and using expandable cards.

Assumption to check: Cluttered UI with too much information displayed

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 4

Optimize backend calls and caching for better performance.

Assumption to check: Slow app performance during peak usage times

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

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.
