Example session with this skill installed
Audit this brief: A Flutter app for dog walkers. Features: GPS tracking, Stripe payments, chat, admin panel, and an AI puppy health scanner. Targeting iOS and Android. No wireframes yet.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the mobile app scope
- Generated the data export
I have audited the dog walker app brief. The analysis highlights significant scope risks regarding the admin panel and the AI integration relative to a standard MVP.
Mobile scope audit: PawsTrack (Dog Walker MVP)
Platforms / stack notes: Flutter (iOS & Android)
Stated goal: Connect dog walkers with owners via GPS-tracked walks and integrated payments.
Evidence reviewed: Initial feature list (GPS, Stripe, Chat, Admin, AI Scanner).
Generated: 2023-10-27 · Draft for human verification
Executive summary
- The core marketplace loop (Booking -> GPS Walk -> Payment) is well-defined.
- Biggest Risk: The "AI puppy health scanner" and "Admin panel" represent significant scope creep for a V1.
- Recommended slice: Focus on the walker-to-owner booking and real-time GPS tracking.
MVP boundary
| Feature / flow | MVP? | Why | Dependency / risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPS Real-time Tracking | Yes | Core value prop for trust | Background location permissions |
| Stripe Integration | Yes | Necessary for platform revenue | KYC verification for walkers |
| In-app Chat | Yes | Coordination | Firebase/Ably cost & socket logic |
| AI Health Scanner | Later | High R&D cost; not core to walking | Model accuracy & API latency |
| Full Admin Panel | Later | Use DB scripts/Retool for V1 | Dev overhead for custom UI |
Findings
| ID | Priority | Area | Evidence | Impact / risk | Recommended fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-01 | P0 | Platform | Background GPS | App Store "Purpose" rejection | Define clear background usage UI |
| F-02 | P1 | Scope | Admin Panel | 30% increase in dev time | Use Retool or direct DB access |
| F-03 | P2 | Data | Health Scanner | Marketing distraction | Move to Phase 2/Post-launch |
First build slice
- Setup Flutter environment with Geolocator and Google Maps.
- Implement Firebase Auth and Walker/Owner profiles.
- Build the "Start Walk" trigger with background location logging.
Acceptance checks
- User can view walker's real-time position on a map.
- Payment is captured via Stripe pre-auth when walk starts.
- App handles "Always Allow" location permission prompts correctly.
Next steps
- Confirm if "Admin Panel" needs custom UI or if a spreadsheet/Retool export suffices.
- Define the specific metrics for the "AI Scanner" to determine if a 3rd party API exists.
- Draft the privacy policy specifically for background location usage.

What you get
About this skill
Translating a vague mobile app idea into a technical scope is a bottleneck for every freelancer and agency. This skill audits your product brief, wireframes, or feature lists to draw a hard line between MVP must-haves and scope creep. It identifies platform-specific risks for iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native before you write a single line of code.
What it does
- MVP prioritization categorizes features into must-haves versus later phases with technical rationale.
- Platform analysis flags implications for push notifications, background tasks, and store policies.
- Risk identification highlights common timeline-killers like multi-role auth, offline sync, and real-time data.
- Gap detection explicitly marks missing evidence in your brief to prevent development assumptions.
- Audit reporting generates a structured findings report with P0-P2 priority levels and acceptance checklists.
How it works
- Provide your product brief, feature list, or Figma links to the agent.
- The agent analyzes the stack preferences (Native, Flutter, or React Native) and target platforms.
- It generates a structured audit report focusing on technical feasibility and scope boundaries.
Frameworks & tools
Works with technical briefs for iOS (Swift), Android (Kotlin), Flutter, and React Native. Ideal for projects involving Firebase, Supabase, Stripe, or custom REST APIs.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often hallucinate timelines or offer "yes-man" feedback. This skill enforces strict evidence-based auditing, forcing the AI to flag what is missing rather than guessing, which prevents expensive mid-project pivots.
Use cases
- Pre-sales technical discovery to quickly validate a lead's feature wishlist against their budget.
- Project kickoff audits to ensure developers and stakeholders agree on the MVP boundary.
- Refining user flows by identifying missing edge cases in existing wireframes.
Known limitations
Does not provide fixed cost estimates, calendar dates, or App Store approval guarantees. Requires a baseline product description to function.
