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.

COMMENTS 

APPLE 
"Take advantage of the fabulous features on PhotoArtista – Oil, including the fine-tuning of textured oil, brush size, stroke variation, canvas texture, and color tone. Get museum-worthy results without a lifetime of practice." - Appstore Facebook 09/15/2010 Damego.com
 "PhotoArtistaHD – Oil is the best photo to painting app that I have seen. It really does a great job of making the painting look like your photo, but also like a real painting. Most photo to painting apps make it look all computerized, however, this app makes it look like your photo started as a painting taken out of a museum." iPhoneProject.org
 "Personally I find it a fabulous application ... and to be honest the best of their range !!!!!" 

 CMJ [User]
 "The paintings that come out of this app are fantastic. I recommend this app to any painting enthusiast or anyone who would like a cool way to change their photos."

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.
