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

Rods calls out every corner and road hazard before you reach it — out loud, in rally-style pace notes, through your phone, Bluetooth, CarPlay or a motorcycle helmet headset. Direction, how sharp, whether it tightens or opens, and how far to the next one, so the road never surprises you. You don't need to know rally to use it: Simple mode: "Medium left tightens, into easy right, 100" Advanced mode, with the 1–6 scale rally drivers use: "Left 3 tightens, into right 5, 100" WHO IT'S FOR Drivers and motorcycle riders who enjoy the drive: weekend canyon runs, mountain passes, backroads, unfamiliar roads on a trip, and the twisty road you drive again and again. WHAT YOU HEAR • Every corner: direction, severity on the 1–6 rally scale, tightens or opens, linked corners • Distance to the next corner • Speed bumps, dips, chicanes, narrowings and roundabouts • Speed cameras, bridges and tunnels • Surface changes: gravel, cobblestone, unpaved sections • Your live speed and the posted speed limit on screen PLAN YOUR ROUTE Rods is a route planner built around corners. Plan a route on the map and preview every road before you drive it: how many corners, how tight they are, and what surface to expect. Import a GPX or KML file or paste a Google Maps or Waze link, save your routes, and drive them with pace notes. No plan? Free Roam calls the road as it comes. ON A MOTORCYCLE Rods works on two wheels as well as four. Pair your Bluetooth helmet headset and hear the next corner before you see it — on blind bends, mountain passes and roads you have never ridden. Plan motorcycle routes the same way: preview the corners, then ride. WORKS WITH APPLE CARPLAY See the corner ahead and every pace note on your car's screen, start routes from the car, and show the next corner in supported instrument clusters. WORKS OFFLINE Download your region once and drive or ride with no signal on saved routes and in Free Roam. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY ROADS, NOT FOR RACING Rally-style callouts, made for public roads: Rods helps you read the road ahead and drive it with more confidence. Always obey speed limits and traffic laws.

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.
