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

The most personal CarPlay driving experience for any car, whether it's a 1999 Toyota Camry or a 2025 Ford F-150. No ads. No tracking. No data sold to insurance companies. Pelican is a free navigation product with social driving features like sharing the locations of road closures, traffic, and police. Built on OpenStreetMap and a corporate sponsor of the OpenStreetMap foundation, the Pelican community actively contributes to making the map better for everyone. Pelican's full-time development is covered through memberships that include additional powerful features like trip logging, historical vehicle diagnostics, OBD scanning, "The Fog", "The Danger Zone", and more. ▶ More than just a navigation app Reduce context switching by customizing your experience with widgets on the map. Widgets like real-time vehicle data (via OBD), music, weather, compass, speed limit, and more can all be added with the customizable widget editor. ▶ A real-time map connected to the Pelican community Stay aware of real-time road conditions with Scout reports of hazards, police, construction and accidents made by other Pelican drivers. ▶ Speed limits even while cruising Whether you're navigating or cruising, see the current speed limit with the CarPlay widget. When navigating, see the weather at your destination with the weather widget. ▶ Open source, offline navigation With Pelican Navigation, you can navigate while offline and edits you make to OpenStreetMap can affect your drive within 36 hours of publication. ▶ Powerful, real-time vehicle data Turn your offline car into an online car using iCloud sync and Pelican's powerful OBD scanner.

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.
