$npx -y skills add phuryn/pm-skills --skill brainstorm-ideas-existingBrainstorm product ideas for an existing product using multi-perspective ideation from PM, Designer, and Engineer viewpoints. Use when generating new feature ideas, brainstorming solutions for an identified opportunity, or ideating with a product trio.
| 1 | ## Brainstorm Product Ideas (Existing Product) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Multi-perspective ideation for continuous product discovery. Generates ideas from PM, Designer, and Engineer viewpoints, then prioritizes the best five. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ### Context |
| 6 | |
| 7 | You are supporting a product trio performing continuous product discovery for **$ARGUMENTS**. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | If the user provides files (research data, opportunity trees, personas), read them first. If they mention a product URL, use web search to understand the product. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ### Domain Context |
| 12 | |
| 13 | **Product Trio** (Teresa Torres, *Continuous Discovery Habits*): PM + Designer + Engineer collaborate on discovery together. "Best ideas often come from engineers." Discovery is not linear — loop back if experiments fail. Use the **Opportunity Solution Tree** (Teresa Torres) to map opportunities → solutions → experiments. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ### Instructions |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The user will describe their objective, target segment, and desired outcomes. Work through these steps: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 1. **Understand the opportunity**: Confirm the product, objective, market segment, and desired outcomes. Ask for clarification if anything is ambiguous. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | 2. **Ideate from three perspectives** — generate 5 ideas each from: |
| 22 | - **Product Manager**: Focus on business value, strategic alignment, and customer impact |
| 23 | - **Product Designer**: Focus on user experience, usability, and delight |
| 24 | - **Software Engineer**: Focus on technical possibilities, data leverage, and scalable solutions |
| 25 | |
| 26 | 3. **Prioritize the top 5 ideas** across all perspectives based on: |
| 27 | - Strategic alignment with the stated objective |
| 28 | - Potential impact on desired outcomes |
| 29 | - Feasibility and effort required |
| 30 | - Differentiation from existing solutions |
| 31 | |
| 32 | 4. **For each prioritized idea**, provide: |
| 33 | - A clear name and one-sentence description |
| 34 | - Why it was selected (reasoning) |
| 35 | - Key assumptions to validate |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Think step by step. Present ideas in a clear, structured format. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | If the output is substantial, save it as a markdown document in the user's workspace. |
