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

Bike Connect turns your Shimano Di2 bike's hood buttons into powerful controls for your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch so you can stay focused on the ride, not your screen. Control music, lights, gear display, and more right from your handlebars. On Apple Watch, get a glanceable gear readout and a quick bell. No phone required. Compatible with Bluetooth-enabled Shimano Di2 groupsets, including 105, Ultegra, Dura-Ace, GRX, and select MTB Di2 groupsets with programmable hood/top buttons. What you can do from your handlebars with just a tap (or two) - Full music control: Play, pause, and skip with Apple Music, Spotify, and more - Volume at your fingertips: Turn volume up or down, or mute instantly - Use your flashlight as a headlight: Toggle the flashlight on/off or perform a quick flash - Ring a virtual bell: Play a bell sound through your speaker, even when the screen is locked On Apple Watch - Standalone connection: Connect your watch directly to your BLE bike (no phone needed) - See your current gear: Glanceable cassette and chainring view that mounts easily on the bars - Bell on your wrist: Press the top buttons to ring a bell from the watch Real-time Bike Dashboard - Customize actions for single and double taps - See your current gear (cassette and chainring view) on iPhone/iPad and Apple Watch - Live Activity support on iPhone: gear info on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Monitor bike battery level and firmware version Get started in seconds 1. Open Bike Connect and tap Pair Bike 2. Assign each hood button (or D-FLY channel) to your preferred action 3. Start riding! Keep your device tucked away or mounted while your thumbs stay in control Why Bike Connect? Traditional cycling head units require extra mounts and menus. With Bike Connect, your existing device stays in your pocket or on the bars while your thumbs do the work that matters: skipping to a high-energy track, muting for traffic, flashing your light at a junction, or ringing a virtual bell. Less distraction, more ride.

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.
