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

The Chad Evans Weather App is the most powerful, data-driven weather app for the Greater Lafayette, Indiana area and beyond. A live interactive radar with customizable alerts will help you plan around the ever-changing Midwest weather. This app doesn't just tell you when a storm warning is issued. One of Chad's favorite features is how this app provides you alerts about dangerous storms that are approaching your home and current location, even before the warning is issued! Hail, rain, wind, snow... you name it. You will find out about it first with this app. You'll also get the Baron Tornado Index, ranking the likelihood of a tornado within an approaching storm cell. The app also provides a direct link to Chad's Weather Blog and Chad's Video Forecasts on YouTube. You can also submit your weather pics here. This is a local weather app that you can control and customize to fit your needs to stay ahead of impactful weather, and link to Chad's comprehensive weather coverage.

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.
