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

Reliable weather forecasts for astronomers with an emphasis on cloud cover. Key Features Weather Forecasts • Seven day hourly forecasts, updated hourly • Low, medium, high and total cloud cover • Regular weather data (wind, rain, frost, temperature, dew point, etc) • Covers daytime too - ideal for solar observers and imagers Astronomical Information • Moon rise/set times and phase • Sun rise/set and transit times • Civil/nautical/astronomical darkness periods • International Space Station (ISS) pass-over information with precise timing for your location Location Management • Set and save your home location for quick access • Add locations manually or use location services for automatic positioning • Search for locations worldwide • Save multiple favourite locations for easy switching • All location data stored locally on your device Why Clearoutside? Updated hourly, because frequent updates matter! Often the clear spell between showers provides excellent seeing, and 30 minutes under a clear sky with a grab-and-go telescope is pure gold. Our favourite feature? The ISS pass-over information is precisely calculated for your location and displayed alongside cloud forecasts, making it easier than ever to catch the station overhead. No cutesy graphics - just detailed, reliable weather data presented clearly for serious observers. We've had a lot of fun building and testing Clear Outside and are keen to develop it further. If you find it useful or have suggestions, please let us know!

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.
