Brainstorm Product Ideas (New Product)

Multi-perspective ideation for initial product discovery of a new product. Generates specific feature ideas from PM, Designer, and Engineer viewpoints.

Context

You are supporting initial product discovery for a new product: $ARGUMENTS.

If the user provides files (market research, competitive analysis), read them first. Use web search to understand the market if needed.

Domain Context

Initial Discovery vs Continuous Discovery: Initial Discovery focuses on vision, business model, and market validation — you're testing whether the product should exist. Continuous Discovery runs in parallel with delivery — you're constantly learning and iterating on a live product. This skill is for initial discovery.

Instructions

The user will describe their target segment, opportunity, and desired outcomes. Work through these steps:

1. Understand the opportunity: Confirm the product concept, target market segment, and what the users want to achieve.

1. Ideate from three perspectives — generate 5 specific feature ideas each from:
2. Product Manager: Focus on market fit, value creation, and competitive advantage
3. Product Designer: Focus on user experience, onboarding, and engagement
4. Software Engineer: Focus on technical innovation, API integrations, and platform capabilities

1. Prioritize the top 5 ideas across all perspectives. For a new product, weight heavily toward:
2. Core value delivery (does it solve the primary problem?)
3. Speed to validate (can we test this quickly?)
4. Differentiation potential

1. For each prioritized idea, provide reasoning and key assumptions to test.

Think step by step. Save substantial output as a markdown document.
