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

TotLock turns any YouTube video into a tap-proof, swipe-resistant fullscreen experience built for one job: keeping a tiny human happy while a grown-up gets thirty seconds to themselves. Hand the phone to a baby. Walk away. The video keeps playing. WHAT IT DOES • Tap-proof video. Touches on the player are absorbed. No accidental pause, no skip, no jumps to suggested videos or the channel page. • Hand-it-over confidence. The home indicator is hidden, the status bar is hidden, and the screen stays awake while a video is playing. • Stickier than the home gesture. iOS swipe-down for Notification Center and Control Center is deferred so they need a deliberate second pull. Random palm-swipes don't escape. • Secret unlock combo. Triple-tap the bottom-left corner, then triple-tap the bottom-right corner within 5 seconds. Easy for an adult, almost impossible for tiny fingers to do at random. The corners glow softly when you tap the screen, reminding you where to aim. • Share from YouTube. In the YouTube app, tap Share, then "Open in TotLock". The video opens here, locked and playing. One tap. • Auto-resume. Phone call interrupted you? Screen locked? When you come back to TotLock, the video automatically resumes. • Paste-from-clipboard fallback. If you'd rather copy the link from anywhere, TotLock detects URLs on your clipboard and surfaces a one-tap Paste card. FOR THE STRICTEST MODE: GUIDED ACCESS iOS Guided Access pairs perfectly with TotLock. Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access → toggle on and set a passcode. Then, after starting playback in TotLock, triple-click the side button. iOS will pin the app on screen until you triple-click again and enter your passcode. This is the most foolproof setup for handing the phone to a small child. WHAT IT IS NOT TotLock is not a curated video service. It plays whatever video link you hand it. We don't pre-screen content for age-appropriateness. You are responsible for what your child watches. If a video has been published with embedding disabled by its uploader, TotLock will show the standard "watch on YouTube" placeholder. Pick a different video. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone (this app is iPhone-only) • iOS 16.0 or later TotLock is built with one parent in mind: the one who needs both hands free for thirty seconds.

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.
