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

TDLidar turns your iPhone into a live depth camera and 40-sensor streaming hub for TouchDesigner, OBS, Resolume and any NDI-aware tool — no capture card or tether. Tap Start NDI and it appears as a 1080p/60fps source on the network. DEPTH MODES • NDI Depth — front TrueDepth or rear LiDAR, live, with 15 colormaps, depth clipping and HD upscale. • LiDAR + Monocular (Pro) — real LiDAR sharpened by a neural network, in metres on a fixed range that never breathes. • ARKit Point Cloud (Beta · Pro) — scan people as live point-cloud silhouettes, or switch to All Surfaces and capture a whole room. Trail, echo, sculpt and gravity FX, colour by height, orientation, confidence or object type, and stream it all to TouchDesigner. • Monocular Depth (Pro) — neural depth from any RGB camera, no LiDAR needed; three model tiers at 60 fps. • Point Cloud (Pro) — live motion FX, Person Only isolation, and bit-exact XYZ+RGB into TouchDesigner POP geometry over Wi-Fi or USB. • Mesh Cloud (Pro) — scan a room into a walkable point cloud; export PLY. CONTROL & SENSORS • Show Control (free) — drive everything remotely over OSC and MIDI: 140+ parameters, mode switching, Look Presets, show blackout. • Sensors mode — ~40 on-device sensors (ARKit body/face/hands, motion, audio FFT, speech, AirPods, Watch heart rate) streamed as OSC. • Cue Deck & Align (Pro) — an OSC trigger-pad grid and a projector-warp rough-in. Everything runs on-device. No accounts, no telemetry, no analytics — data stays on your phone or LAN. REQUIREMENTS iPhone with TrueDepth or LiDAR (LiDAR modes need the scanner). iOS 18.6+. An NDI receiver on the same network. TDLidar Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase, or try everything with a 3-day pass. No subscriptions.

Opportunities

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

Add more visualization tools like filters and styles.

Assumption to check: Limited functionalities for data visualization

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 2

Implement a guided tutorial for new users.

Assumption to check: Poor user onboarding experience

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 3

Optimize data handling and rendering for better performance.

Assumption to check: Inconsistent performance with large datasets

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 4

Allow users to customize map styles and data presentation.

Assumption to check: Lack of customization options for users

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.
