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 Photo Guide is the most comprehensive guide to photography on the App Store! If you like photography as much as we do, you will love the Photo Guide. — TUAW "I don't hesitate to recommend The Photo Guide to digital photographers. [...] The photo examples are excellent, and the text is concise and clear." Explore the fantastic world of photography with a beautiful and interactive app on your iPhone or iPad. Today, almost everyone has access to a camera, but most users only leverage a fraction of its potential. Our goal is to change this. The Photo Guide starts off with the basics of photography and goes into great detail to help you improve your skills to finally make better photos. We built the Photo Guide for seasoned photography enthusiasts, as well as for total beginners. # FOR BEGINNERS We dedicated an entire category to everyone who is just getting started with photography. The topics are result-oriented, practical, and deliberately avoid unnecessary technical terms. # IMAGE COMPOSITION Great image composition is a key element of great photography. The Photo Guide covers a huge range of interesting aspects. # BY EXAMPLE See how specific photos were taken. Which shutter speed, aperture, etc. was chosen and why, which lighting is best and much more! # EQUIPMENT Learn about the different kinds of cameras, lenses, lens filters and much more, to make informed decisions what should be part of your gear. # IPHONE & IPAD The cameras in our mobile devices are extremely capable. It’s time to take these amazing cameras seriously. This category teaches everything about iPhone & iPad photography. # IN THE FIELD Practical tips and tricks for when you’re out capturing your next great photographs. # FOUNDATION You can only master photography if you fully understand what’s happening behind the scenes, when you press the shutter button of your camera. # QUIZ You already know everything about photography? Check out the quiz and find out if there's stuff you didn't know. # GLOSSARY Oh no, what's “Hyper-focal distance". Several hundred glossary entries will help you. Photography is not rocket science but so much fun! # For beginners and seasoned photographers # Universal App for iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch # iCloud sync of favorites, read articles and quiz progress # 100% offline content - available everywhere you want to shoot! # Interactive, beautiful and easy to understand # More than 1,000 images to learn from including their Exif and location data # SUPPORT Please contact us from inside the app or through our website and give us your feedback.

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.
