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.

Featuring intelligent alerts & advanced muting, it takes situational awareness to another level! V1 Companion™ is the COMPLETE solution to enjoying your V1. V1 Companion™'s alerting and muting systems are optimized for each V1 platform. Intelligent voice announcements and on-screen visuals will always keep you informed and aware of the situation around you. V1 Companion™ full feature list: • SpotLocks™ - Location based false silencing has never been this good or easy. Turn on the intelligent location based learning, and let V1 Companion™ do the rest. Or, you can manually 'lock' or 'unlock' locations with ease from the main alert screen. • View and modify your V1's internal hardware settings. You no longer have to exit the app, and run the V1 connection app, to modify your V1's internal settings. • The ONLY iOS app with "Dynamic Volume Control" for V1 Gen2, completely silences unwanted alerts (No more annoying initial audio blip accompanying false alerts). • Play detector tones through app. • 'GPS Warmup' keeps the detector quiet for a 'user set' number of seconds or until a GPS connection is established with your iPhone. Useful for parking garages etc. • V1 Firmware version check & notification of new firmware. • 'Proximity' meter. • High resolution meters for front & rear signal strengths of the priority alert (Not limited to the # of bars on the V1 display). • MyRadarIQ™ - Threat probability meter. • 'K & X falses in area' meter. • 'Custom Phrases' for threat's audio announcements. • Customizable heads up display (HUD). • HUD displays the priority alert's band, signal strength, frequency, & direction. • HUD of the secondary alerts' bands, signal strengths, frequencies, bogey counts & directions. • Mute rear K & X band signals. • Advanced BSM/CAS/Ka False Muting (Optimized for each V1 platform). • 'Ghost' muting quiets false alerts when you are traveling behind a false emitting vehicle. • "Passive Mute™"- Quiets the V1 below user set speeds & during weak K & X signals. • Total bogey count display (Above the V1’s limit of 9). • Vehicle speed (MPH or KMH) display. • Mute status with the ability to manually mute/unmute alerts. • Detailed & intelligent voice announcements of direction, band, frequency, strength, number of alerts, occurrences of mixed signals & more. • V1 mode display (All, logic, Adv. logic - Tap to Toggle). • Automatic muting of Ka, K, and X bands ('Time before mute' set for each band). • 'Reduce Speed' notification for user set speed. • ‘Visual Awareness™’ – Slowly flashes the V1 display when the "Passive Mute™" system is actively muting. • Priority ‘Visual Awareness™’ - Rapidly flashes the V1 display after a Ka signal has been muted. • ‘Urgency Alerts™’ - Unmutes growing threats & announces these alerts via voice & notifications. • ‘Alert History’ - View your past alerts with detailed information about each encounter. • ‘Dark Mode’ support for use with V1 concealed display and/or iPhone as main display. • Compass heading. • ‘J-Out’ alert for Ka false alerts. • Detailed trip summary at the end of your ride including duration, distance, alerts, muting stats, battery, & more. • Automatic connection to Bluetooth enabled V1's (V1 with Bluetooth LE Dongle & V1G2 supported). • iPhone & Apple Watch notifications of direction, band, & frequency of each alert. • Tips/Help system. This app requires a Valentine One V1G2 or V1 Radar Detector that is compatible with Valentine Research's Bluetooth LE Dongle. You should have Valentine Research's V1Connection App (freely available in the App store) operational beforehand, to ensure compatibility with the V1 Companion App. Some portions of this program are Copyright (c) 2020 Valentine Research, Inc.

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.
