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

No sous-vide. No guesswork. Just consistent colour film development. ProLab is a precision colour film development tool with real-time time compensation and chemistry tracking. ProLab Film Developer is the smarter way to develop colour film at home. Most home colour film development goes wrong for two reasons: temperature drift and tired chemicals. Every other app ignores that. ProLab Film Developer doesn’t. It’s the only app that actively adjusts your development time in real time, based on what’s actually happening, not what should be happening. Real-time time and temperature correction Built around a Dynamic Time-Temperature Engine, ProLab continuously recalculates your development time as conditions change. Temperature drops? Time is adjusted. Chemistry weakening? Compensated. No guessing. No assumptions. No expensive setup. No barriers. You don’t need a sous-vide. You don’t need a lab. Just a tank, a thermometer and a bowl. This is consistent, repeatable colour development without the cost or complexity. What makes it different • Real-time time compensation based on live temperature input • Chemistry tracking with exhaustion awareness • Intelligent adjustments based on actual usage, not theory • Built-in push processing for 1 and 2 stops • Clean, guided workflow from start to finish Supports major home C-41 kits, including Cinestill, Bellini, Rollei, Adox, Fuji and more. Built by a photographer, not a developer This was made to solve a real problem in home film processing. If your temperature moves and your timing doesn’t, you’re already off. Get it right. Every time.

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.
