$npx -y skills add phuryn/pm-skills --skill brainstorm-ideas-newBrainstorm feature ideas for a new product in initial discovery from PM, Designer, and Engineer perspectives. Use when starting product discovery for a new product, exploring features for a startup idea, or doing initial ideation.
| 1 | ## Brainstorm Product Ideas (New Product) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Multi-perspective ideation for initial product discovery of a new product. Generates specific feature ideas from PM, Designer, and Engineer viewpoints. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ### Context |
| 6 | |
| 7 | You are supporting initial product discovery for a new product: **$ARGUMENTS**. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | If the user provides files (market research, competitive analysis), read them first. Use web search to understand the market if needed. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ### Domain Context |
| 12 | |
| 13 | **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**. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ### Instructions |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The user will describe their target segment, opportunity, and desired outcomes. Work through these steps: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 1. **Understand the opportunity**: Confirm the product concept, target market segment, and what the users want to achieve. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | 2. **Ideate from three perspectives** — generate 5 specific feature ideas each from: |
| 22 | - **Product Manager**: Focus on market fit, value creation, and competitive advantage |
| 23 | - **Product Designer**: Focus on user experience, onboarding, and engagement |
| 24 | - **Software Engineer**: Focus on technical innovation, API integrations, and platform capabilities |
| 25 | |
| 26 | 3. **Prioritize the top 5 ideas** across all perspectives. For a new product, weight heavily toward: |
| 27 | - Core value delivery (does it solve the primary problem?) |
| 28 | - Speed to validate (can we test this quickly?) |
| 29 | - Differentiation potential |
| 30 | |
| 31 | 4. **For each prioritized idea**, provide reasoning and key assumptions to test. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Think step by step. Save substantial output as a markdown document. |
