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

We built the app we couldn't find. Thrifters is the first nationwide thrift map built by thrifters, for thrifters. Over 92,000 thrift stores, vintage shops, consignment stores, antique shops, and flea markets across all 50 states. Free to download. Try free for 14 days. Built by two female co-founders and powered by a community of thrifters, the Thrifters app helps you discover great secondhand shops wherever you are, and wherever you're going. Thrifting is a meaningful way to shop more sustainably. When you choose what already exists, you keep great things in circulation. The best shops aren't found by algorithms. They're found by local thrifters, through word-of-mouth, weekend adventures, and personal recommendations. Thrifters keeps that human way of discovering places alive and brings it into one coast-to-coast map. Whether you're thrifting close to home, planning a weekend getaway, or mapping out a road trip, the Thrifters app helps you find great places and keep track of the ones you love. Save your Fave Finds, map your thrift run, and check-in at shops you've visited. Thrifters isn't a static directory. It's a living map we build together. Add photos, confirm shop info, share notes on parking, best days to visit, and what you'll find. Every contribution makes the map more accurate, more local, and more real.

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.
