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

Dead Man's Switch is a digital dead man's switch for your phone. Set a check-in interval, tap to check in regularly, and if you ever miss a deadline, the app automatically emails or texts the contacts you've chosen — with the message you wrote. Use it for lone hikes, solo travel, living alone, risky chronic conditions, or simple peace of mind for the people who care about you. How it works: • Pick a check-in interval (minutes, hours, or days) • Add the people who should hear from you if you go silent • Write the message they'll receive • Tap to start; tap again any time to check in • Reminders at 75% and 90% before the alert fires • Miss the deadline and your contacts get the message automatically Email alerts are included. SMS alerts use a small refillable credit balance via in-app purchase — handy when an email might be missed. Simple. Private. Peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Dead Man's Switch is not a substitute for emergency services. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.

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.
