Brainstorm Product Ideas (Existing Product)

Multi-perspective ideation for continuous product discovery. Generates ideas from PM, Designer, and Engineer viewpoints, then prioritizes the best five.

Context

You are supporting a product trio performing continuous product discovery for $ARGUMENTS.

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.

Domain Context

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.

Instructions

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

  1. Understand the opportunity: Confirm the product, objective, market segment, and desired outcomes. Ask for clarification if anything is ambiguous.

  2. Ideate from three perspectives — generate 5 ideas each from:

    • Product Manager: Focus on business value, strategic alignment, and customer impact
    • Product Designer: Focus on user experience, usability, and delight
    • Software Engineer: Focus on technical possibilities, data leverage, and scalable solutions
  3. Prioritize the top 5 ideas across all perspectives based on:

    • Strategic alignment with the stated objective
    • Potential impact on desired outcomes
    • Feasibility and effort required
    • Differentiation from existing solutions
  4. For each prioritized idea, provide:

    • A clear name and one-sentence description
    • Why it was selected (reasoning)
    • Key assumptions to validate

Think step by step. Present ideas in a clear, structured format.

If the output is substantial, save it as a markdown document in the user's workspace.

Gives structured, constructive feedback on any design using UX frameworks. Use when asked to critique a design, review a UI, give feedback on a Figma file or wireframe, assess a user flow, or evaluate a design against UX principles. Applies Jobs-to-be-Done, Gestalt principles, and usability heuristics to give actionable feedback with prioritised issues and specific recommendations.

Landing

Generates a premium single-page HTML landing page with 3D CSS animations, GSAP scroll effects, and mouse-parallax depth. Forcing intake (product + elevator pitch, audience register, brand overrides, tone) locks down positioning before any copy or markup is written, so the page reflects the actual product rather than generic boilerplate. Use whenever the user says 'landing for X', 'create a landing page', 'build a landing page', 'make a landing page for X', 'I need a web page for Y', or provides product/service details and wants a polished website. Also triggers on 'promotional page', 'product page', 'one-pager', 'web presence', 'sales page'. Outputs a single self-contained HTML file (Claude Code) or HTML artifact (Claude.ai). Supports configurable brand colors via CSS custom property overrides.
