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

Your Essential Aviation Weather Companion METAR Pilot delivers real-time METAR weather data directly to your iPhone and Apple Watch, making critical flight planning information instantly accessible. Designed by pilots for pilots, this powerful aviation tool ensures you always have the weather intelligence you need for safe and informed flight decisions. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY While developing the app, we do our best to attempt to fetch METAR data for nearby/selected airports every 10 to 15 minutes, but several factors can interfere with this schedule. WatchOS functionality may block background refreshes if the watch is in "Low Power Mode" or if the battery is getting low. Additionally, since the watch uses the internet connection from your paired iPhone, a weak LTE/3G signal may prevent data from updating. If you see outdated data, tap any complication to launch the watch app and guarantee a forced data refresh.

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.
