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

What's for dinner? Finally, an app that actually answers that. Every week, AutoChef builds a personalized meal plan based on what you actually like to eat. Your favorite cuisines, dietary needs, allergies, family size, and serving preferences all shape your plan. No more staring at the fridge wondering what to make. Just open the app and dinner is handled. Want to explore? Browse the cookbook and add anything that catches your eye. SMART MEAL PLANS THAT SAVE YOU MONEY AutoChef doesn't just pick random recipes. It uses ingredient overlap to stretch your grocery budget further and reduce food waste. When Monday's recipe calls for cilantro, Tuesday's recipe uses it too. Less waste, lower bills, better meals. ONE GROCERY LIST. ZERO MENTAL LOAD. Your meal plan automatically generates a smart grocery list that consolidates ingredients across every recipe for the week. No duplicates, no guesswork, no wandering the aisles. Just one clean list ready to shop. YOUR PANTRY, BUILT IN. After you shop, mark items complete and they're added to your virtual pantry. AutoChef uses what you already have to recommend future meals so nothing sits in the back of the fridge and goes to waste. MAKE IT YOURS. Don't love a recipe? Swap it. Want to add something? Drop it in. Delete what doesn't work. Your meal plan adapts to your week, not the other way around. WHAT YOU GET WITH AUTOCHEF: - Personalized weekly meal plans - Smart grocery lists that consolidate across recipes - Virtual pantry tracking - Swap, add, and delete meals anytime - Dietary and allergen filters - Cuisine and taste profile matching - Ingredient overlap optimization to save money and reduce waste Try it free for 7 days. Full access, no limits. After that, keep going for $3.99/mo (billed annually) or $4.99 month-to-month.

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.
