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

Kitchen Compass helps you plan meals, discover recipes, and organize your grocery shopping around the things that matter most to you. START WITH YOUR BUDGET Tell Kitchen Compass your grocery budget, preferences, and selected store. Use that information to discover meal ideas designed around your plans. DISCOVER RECIPES Explore recipe ideas based on your preferences, selected protein, excluded ingredients, budget, and other choices. Save recipes you want to make again. BUILD YOUR SHOPPING LIST Turn meal planning into an organized grocery list. Keep track of the ingredients you need and manage saved shopping lists for future trips. FIND NEARBY GROCERY STORES Enter a ZIP code or optionally use your current location to discover nearby grocery stores and choose where you plan to shop. MANAGE YOUR PANTRY Keep track of pantry items you already have so your meal-planning and grocery routine stays organized. SAVE YOUR FAVORITES Keep your favorite recipes and shopping information connected to your Kitchen Compass account so they're ready when you return. BUILT FOR PRACTICAL MEAL PLANNING Kitchen Compass brings recipe discovery, budgeting, grocery planning, store discovery, saved recipes, shopping lists, and pantry organization together in one convenient experience. Kitchen Compass is designed to help make the question “What should I make for dinner?” easier to answer. Find your dinner direction. Important: Grocery prices and availability may vary. Kitchen Compass does not provide live retailer pricing in version 1.0. Budget and grocery information should be treated as planning guidance and verified with the applicable retailer before purchase.

Opportunities

AI-GENERATED OPPORTUNITY HYPOTHESES

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

Simplify the user interface by limiting visible options and guiding users through the meal planning process.

Assumption to check: Users often find meal planning apps overwhelming due to too many options.

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 2

Implement a clear cost breakdown feature that updates in real-time as users add meals.

Assumption to check: Users struggle with tracking costs effectively.

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 3

Streamline the shopping list generation to automatically compile ingredients from selected meals.

Assumption to check: Difficulty in creating shopping lists from selected meals.

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

Hypothesis 4

Add a checklist feature that allows users to mark items as they shop.

Assumption to check: Users often forget ingredients while shopping.

Validate with people who use this workflow before building.

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.
