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.

Provide clear explanations of subscription benefits.

Assumption to check: In-app purchases may confuse some users

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 3

Refine GPS accuracy and data retrieval.

Assumption to check: Occasional inaccuracies in distance calculations

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 4

Enhance UI with a more modern and intuitive design.

App Store description

ParkSignal uses AI to read live NYC cameras — our own dedicated cameras plus public Department of Transportation feeds — and tells you which street parking spots are open before you even leave home. Now 100% free for everyone. Patent Pending — U.S. patent application filed. WHAT IT DOES Every 20 seconds to 2 minutes, our own AI model analyzes each live camera and counts the open spots in every zone. Open the app, see what's free nearby, and head straight there — no more circling the block. WHAT'S NEW ParkSignal is now completely free — every feature, no subscription, no card Monitored zones are drawn right on each live feed, so you can see exactly which curb stretches we watch New ASP tab: every upcoming alternate-side suspension at a glance — including major holidays when meters are free too Live counts during alternate-side hours, so you can grab a spot right as ASP ends Tap any camera feed to go fullscreen and pinch to zoom Faster startup — spots appear automatically, no refresh needed HOW IT WORKS Live feeds from our own dedicated cameras and NYC DOT traffic cameras Our own AI model — trained on real NYC streets — counts open spots in real time Map view shows every location at a glance — green means spots are open "Looking for…" filter shows only the spot type you need: metered, free, or a specific alternate-side day Tap any camera to watch the live feed yourself and confirm Metered spots automatically count as free before 7am, after 7pm, and on Sundays COVERAGE Live in Manhattan today, with new cameras and neighborhoods added regularly — each one announced right inside the app. ALWAYS CHECK THE LIVE FEED AI is fast but not perfect — and it can be less accurate after dark (the app will tell you when). Always glance at the live camera image before driving over to confirm a spot is still open. PRICING Free. All of it — live spot detection, the ASP calendar, alternate-side reminders. No subscription, no card, no account. We cover the costs ourselves so you never have to. Privacy Policy: https://web-production-7bb46.up.railway.app/privacy

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.
