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

Dispatch Radio turns your phone into a US police, fire and EMS scanner, with a live map of what is happening right now. LIVE MAP - Dispatch incidents pinned across the United States. Tap a pin to open the incident: the recorded radio transmissions, a transcript, a short summary and scene imagery. REPLAYS - A feed of recent dispatch calls, newest first, so you can catch up on what you missed. STATE CHANNELS - Pick a state and let its transmissions play continuously, like a scanner running on the shelf. ALERTS - Severity levels let you decide how much you hear about: everything, or only the serious calls. LOCAL NEWS - Reporting tied to the same map appears as a secondary layer, for context on the bigger incidents. PRO - A Dispatch Radio Pro subscription unlocks full incident details, the complete audio threads and scene images, unlimited map access and alerts near you. IMPORTANT - Audio comes from publicly available dispatch radio traffic. It can be delayed, incomplete or interrupted, and this app is not an emergency service and not an official source. In an emergency, call 911. Scanner use is regulated differently from place to place, so please check the laws where you are. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Account Settings after purchase.

AI-GENERATED OPPORTUNITY HYPOTHESES

These are generated suggestions, not verified review quotations. Check current App Store reviews and speak with users before treating a possible gap as a requirement.

Hypothesis 1

Implement a personalized feed based on user preferences.

Assumption to check: Limited content personalization options

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 2

Enhance offline access to saved articles.

Assumption to check: Inadequate offline reading capabilities

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 3

Optimize content loading with caching strategies.

Assumption to check: Slow loading times for articles

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 4

Integrate a text-to-speech option for articles.

Assumption to check: Lack of text-to-speech features

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

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.
