Cancellation Waitlist
Offer a freed-up slot to the people waiting for it, in order.
What it adds
A per-slot queue that automatically offers a released booking to waiting people one at a time.
What your agent is told to do
5
What your agent is told to do
5-
1
Let someone join the queue from the same screen where they found the slot full, capturing only what a booking needs, and confirm their position back to them.
-
2
When a booking is cancelled or released, offer the slot to the first person in the queue with a stated claim deadline, and move to the next person only when that deadline passes or the offer is declined.
-
3
Hold the slot for the person holding the live offer. If the slot stays openly bookable during the offer window, the queue means nothing and whoever refreshes fastest wins.
-
4
If the app already has a Waitlist feature for signup or capacity, extend it with slot-level queues and offer expiry rather than building a second waiting-list concept with its own table and its own notification path.
-
5
Do not notify everyone in the queue at once and let them race. It generates a burst of disappointment for everyone but one person and trains people to ignore the notification.
Edge cases it handles

Edge cases it handles
8- Every offer carries a claim deadline, and the slot moves to the next person automatically when it lapses. Without a deadline one unresponsive person blocks the queue until the appointment has passed.
- Two people must never claim the same released slot. Claim under a lock or a conditional update so the second claim loses cleanly and returns the person to their place in the queue.
- Entries whose slot has already started must be dropped rather than offered, and the person told the queue has closed for that time.
- Cap how many offers one person receives in a period. Someone waiting on a busy calendar can otherwise be notified repeatedly through the night.
- Every notification must carry a one-tap way to leave the queue that works without signing in, and leaving must take effect before the next offer is generated.
- A person holding a live offer who cancels their own place must release the slot immediately rather than letting the deadline run down.
- Respect the app's Quiet Hours if it has them, and decide explicitly whether a short claim deadline overrides them or the offer skips to the next person.
- Someone who books the slot through the normal flow while an offer is outstanding must be blocked, not silently allowed to jump the queue.

Definition of done
9- People can join a waitlist for a full slot and see their position.
- A cancellation offers the slot to the first waiting person with a visible claim deadline.
- The slot is held for the duration of an offer and cannot be booked around it.
- Concurrent claims on one released slot resolve to a single booking.
- Entries for slots that have started are dropped rather than offered.
- Offer notifications are rate limited per person and each carries a working leave-the-queue action.
- The feature extends the app's existing waitlist rather than duplicating it.
- The feature matches the existing design system.
- No existing functionality is broken.

Prize Wheel Giveaway
Prize Wheel Giveaway
Run a spin-the-wheel giveaway where each entrant gets one spin and a recorded prize.
What it does
A giveaway with a wheel interface, one server-decided spin per entrant, and a durable record of every result.
How it works
- 1 Decide the outcome on the server before the wheel starts turning. The request returns a prize, the animation lands on it, and the client is only ever playing back a result it was given.
- 2 Model prizes with explicit weights and optional stock counts, and let an operator edit them without a deploy. A giveaway whose odds live in code cannot be corrected once it is live.
- 3 Tie an entry to an account where the app has one, and where it does not, combine the strongest identifiers available and treat a single spin as the hard limit across all of them.

Poll Widget
Poll Widget
Ask a one-question poll anywhere in the app and show the results as soon as someone votes.
What it does
An embeddable single-question poll with a vote control and a results view revealed after voting.
How it works
- 1 Keep it to one question with a small set of options. The moment it grows a second question it is a survey and belongs in the survey feature instead.
- 2 Record the vote on the server and return the updated tallies in the same response, so the results the voter sees are the real counts rather than an optimistic local guess that may disagree after a refresh.
- 3 Hold voting open to signed-out visitors if the poll is public, and identify them well enough to prevent casual repeat voting without demanding an account for a single click.

Announcement Bar
Announcement Bar
Put a timed message across the top of the site without shipping a deploy.
What it does
An operator-configured, dismissible strip at the top of public pages, with scheduling and a link.
How it works
- 1 Extend the existing Service Incident Banner rather than adding a second bar. It already handles scheduling, targeting, dismissal, and severity; this is a marketing-styled variant of the same component, and two independent bars will eventually stack on top of each other.
- 2 Let an operator set the message, an optional link, background and text colours, and a start and end time from an admin screen. Requiring a deploy to run a weekend promotion means it goes live late.
- 3 Insert the bar into the document flow so it pushes fixed headers and sticky navigation down. Overlaying it on top of the header hides navigation on exactly the pages people arrived on.

It inspects, then implements
Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.
Works with your stack
These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
Need it tighter than that? Customize the feature and tell it exactly what you're running.
