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

Telescopo is a full featured, native Mac workspace for people who want a better experience viewing documents not natively supported by macOS. View and export Markdown, LaTeX, Mermaid, PlantUML, SVG, PDF, ePub, and 70+ code and data formats with the speed and polish of a first‑party macOS app. All supported formats have been lovingly implemented for fast, fluid responsiveness and visually stunning themes. • Choose from six handcrafted themes for all supported filetypes— Light, Dark, Cyberpunk, Parchment, Bad Command, and Cyberspace—with seamless transitions across every format. Have unique themes for each open document tab or window, use System themes, or use the same thing for all documents. The choices are yours. • Instant rendering, instant export. Preview complex Markdown or LaTeX with MathJax, Navigate ePub chapters, or print Markdown to PDF with a single click. • Diagram power built in. Bring your Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams to life; Telescopo handles consented remote rendering, caching, and theme-aware SVG display automatically. • On-device Apple Intelligence summaries. macOS 26 users can condense Markdown documents locally—no cloud roundtrips, no privacy compromises. • Professional reading controls. Command-scroll zoom, Command-Option width adjustments, tabbed windows, fast search, table of contents, and smooth Metal-accelerated scrolling keep long documents effortless. • Code and data aware. Syntax highlighting, function detection, and theme-coordinated coloring for 40+ languages, plus native viewers for JSON, YAML, XML, CSV, logs, and more. • Mac-first experience. Accessibility, VoiceOver, drag-and-drop tabs, security-scoped bookmarks for local assets, release-note prompts via Setapp, and zero command-line setup. Telescopo combines serious performance with refined design. If your work spans prose, code, diagrams, and research, it’s the fastest, most beautiful way to keep every document at your fingertips on macOS.

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.
