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

Zoetrope It is the first iPhone app built specifically to bring your zoetrope vinyl records to life. Your record has a secret animation. Your eyes can’t see it spinning. Your camera won’t cooperate. Most strobe apps are full of ads. We fixed that. Pick the RPM. Hit play. The animation appears directly on the record — with your own eyes. See it, don’t just film it Zoetrope It uses your iPhone’s flashlight as a precision strobe locked to 33⅓, 45, or 78 RPM. The animation happens on the vinyl itself — not inside a camera viewfinder. Your friends won’t believe it until you hand them the phone. Works with your collection From Jack White to Pearl Jam, Gorillaz to Olivia Rodrigo, Record Store Day exclusives to indie picture discs — Zoetrope It is tuned for every RPM and every pressing. A real camera mode too Want to post it? Switch to Camera mode to record for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or anywhere else. Frame rate, shutter, and exposure lock automatically to the record’s rotation. No flicker. No watermark. No limits. Fine-tune when you need it For non-standard pressings, adjust Frames per Revolution manually. Use Fine Adjust for perfect sync, and control flashlight brightness and screen brightness for any setup. Simple when you want it. Precise when you need it. No ads. No subscription. Pay once. Keep it forever. No popups. No dark patterns. No “Unlock Pro” screens. Just the tool your turntable deserves.

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.
