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

Talon is a fast, native chat client for Urbit. Sign in with your ship and get the full daily-use chat loop: direct messages, group channels, threads, and reactions, with your messages going straight between your device and your own ship. Your ship is your server. Talon connects your device directly to the Urbit ship you control, so your messages, your contacts, and your history stay yours. No accounts to create, no middlemen, no analytics, no tracking. FEATURES • Direct messages, group DMs, and group channels • Threads, reactions, replies, edits, and deletes • Notebook and gallery channels • Voice and video calls • Party lines: drop-in group voice and video rooms • Voice messages and dictation • Image, video, and file attachments • Link previews, location and calendar tags • Calendar and tasks • Mail, when your ship runs a mail app • Search, bookmarks, activity, and watchwords • Group admin tools: roles, kicks, bans, and channel permissions • QR code sign-in • Multiple ships, one tap to switch • Delivery indicators • Per-chat mute and folders • Dark, light, and system themes • Optional AI, off by default: catch-up summaries, an assistant, and Orrery OPTIONAL AI Nothing goes to any AI service until your ship has Armillary credit. Armillary is an app on your own ship that gets model access for you, so there are no keys to copy in, and Talon asks for model providers that keep nothing. Armillary credit is a separate, optional paid service, sold by the vendor ship you choose. Talon's developer runs the default one. That vendor sees your ship's name, your balance and your purchases, and in proxy mode your AI requests pass through its ship on the way to the model provider. Talon requires an Urbit ship to sign in.

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

Implement advanced engagement features like polls, stories, or live video.

Assumption to check: Limited user engagement features compared to competitors

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 2

Enhance the Explore section with algorithms for personalized content.

Assumption to check: Difficulties in discovering new users and content

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 3

Introduce WebSocket-based real-time chat capabilities.

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.
