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

Tired of scrolling through endless menus on your aviation weather apps? MetarNow delivers real-time aviation weather instantly. Simple and intuitive — get the weather you need in just one or two taps. Tap on the "Find Nearest Station" button and you will have the most current METAR, TAF, and D-ATIS (if available) for the station closest to you. Also included will be the mileage and compass direction to the nearest station, the full name of the airport, and the time of the METAR update in local and Zulu times. Additionally, you may search for any airport by airport ID or airport name and obtain its latest METAR as well, and any searched station can be added to a Saved Station list. METAR and TAF data can be read either as raw or decoded. Weather data is sourced directly from airport weather stations, providing the most accurate and up-to-date conditions for pilots. Designed for pilots and aviation enthusiasts who need accurate weather at a glance. Requires WiFi or cellular data connection. (Note: add "K" in front of airport identifiers that start with letters or numbers other than "K". For example, O69 will be searched as KO69, 6B0 will be searched as K6B0, etc.) DISCLAIMER: MetarNow is intended for informational purposes only and does not replace a complete weather briefing. Always obtain a full weather briefing from an official source before flight.

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.
