Claude for Android app with AI

Product + plan in the Android app with AI stack. Same role as the iOS stack. Spend the planning time before you open the IDE. Android also has Play Store policies that bite late-discovered scope (background location, accessibility services, foreground service types).

    Plan in Claude

    Same scoping pass as the iOS stack — but the Play Store review concerns are different.

    Prompt · Android app scoping prompt
    Plan a small Android app for the idea below. Don't write Kotlin yet.
    
    Idea:
    """
    {{1-line product description}}
    """
    
    Constraints:
    - Jetpack Compose only. No XML layouts unless legacy interop forces it.
    - Single-activity architecture with Navigation Compose.
    - Local-first storage (Room) unless I ask for sync.
    - No background services unless I justify the foreground service type.
    - No accessibility services unless explicitly asked (Play Store policy gate).
    
    Output, in this order:
    1. **Screens** (3 to 6 max) — name + 1-line purpose.
    2. **Data model** — Room entities + DAOs.
    3. **Permissions** — exactly what's needed + the Play Console justification.
    4. **Play Store hooks** — name candidates (3), category, short description, screenshot story.
    5. **Out of scope for v1** — 3 to 5 things I should NOT build first.
    
    Flag any Play Store policy risks (especially around background location, foreground services, and SMS/Call permissions).
