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

Pocket CPM is a full CP/M-80 emulator for iPhone, putting the legendary operating system that defined a generation of personal computing right in your pocket. Whether you're a retrocomputing enthusiast, a developer curious about the roots of modern operating systems, or someone who learned to code on a Z80 machine, Pocket CPM delivers an authentic CP/M experience with the convenience of iOS. What is CP/M? CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers) was the dominant operating system of the late 1970s and early 1980s, running on millions of machines before MS-DOS reshaped the industry. It introduced concepts that still underpin modern computing — and it's a fascinating system to explore. Features • Full CP/M 2.2 emulation on a Z80 processor • Built-in terminal with adjustable font size • Load and run classic CP/M software and disk images • Hardware keyboard support for a true workstation feel • Monochrome display modes for authentic retro aesthetics • No ads. No subscriptions. Own it once. Who is Pocket CPM for? • Retrocomputing hobbyists and collectors • Computer science students and educators • Developers who want to explore CP/M, BDOS, and BIOS internals • Anyone who remembers the A> prompt with fondness Pocket CPM is lovingly built for those who appreciate where computing came from. Boot up, type A>, and see what the fuss was about.

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.
