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

Papertone is a simple, elegant note-taking app inspired by the golden era of iOS — complete with skeuomorphic textures, lined paper backgrounds, and nostalgic charm. Everything is built to feel like a physical notebook — soft shadows, realistic textures, and a retro Apple-style interface. Here's what you need to know: • Tap the + button in the top-right corner to create a new note. • Need to find something? Pull down on your notes list to reveal the search bar. • Tap to edit button to make changes on the note. • Don't forget, first line of the note will be the title. • Want to access settings? Tap the "Notes" header 5 times — it's a hidden shortcut to keep the interface clean. From the settings menu, you can: • Switch between 12-hour and 24-hour time formats • Import or export your notes • Delete all notes (careful, this can't be undone) Just open and start writing — no distractions, no complexity. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

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.
