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 is your personal co-driver. It analyzes any road and calls out every corner before you arrive — the direction, how sharp it is, whether it tightens or opens, and the distance to the next one. It also warns you about speed bumps, chicanes, and surface changes and other road hazards along the way. Pick a road. Drive. And hear what's coming: Simple mode: "Medium left tightens, into easy right, 100" Advanced mode: "Left 3 tightens, into Right 5, 100." No more guessing what's around the next bend. — HOW IT WORKS 1. Set a start and end point on any road 2. Rods analyzes every corner along the route 3. Tap Drive and hear callouts through your speakers 4. Each corner is announced before you arrive It's the same kind of corner callouts used in professional rally — but generated automatically for any road, anywhere. — WHAT YOU HEAR Every corner is described by: • Direction — left or right • Severity — Easy, Medium, or Hard in simple mode or 1 (tightest hairpin) to 6 (gentle curve) in Advanced • Shape — tightens, opens, long, very long • Sequence — "into" links consecutive corners • Distance — yards/meters to the next corner Road hazards and features are called out too: • Speed bumps and dips • Chicanes and narrowings • Bridges and tunnels • Speed cameras • Surface changes — gravel, cobblestone, unpaved sections Example on a mountain pass: "Right 4 long, 80. Left 2 tightens, into Right 3, 50. Caution, speed bump. Left 5." — WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE Download your region's road data once and drive anywhere — mountain passes, backroads, canyon roads, scenic routes. No cell signal needed while driving on a pre-generated route. — BUILT FOR DRIVING ENTHUSIASTS Rods isn't about getting from A to B. It's for the roads you choose to drive — the twisty ones, the scenic ones, the ones you drive twice. Whether you're carving canyon switchbacks, exploring unfamiliar mountain roads, riding your motorcycle through the hills, or running your favorite backroad on a Sunday morning — Rods tells you what's ahead so you can drive with confidence. — PLAN BEFORE YOU DRIVE Preview any route and see what the road looks like before you commit — how many corners, how severe, what kind of sequences. Find the most interesting roads without driving them blind. — SUBSCRIPTION Rods is a subscription-based app. A 14-day free trial is included — no charge until it ends, cancel anytime.

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.
