Goal: Brainstorm new product features grounded in your product context and user needs.
Instructions: Follow these exercises in Cursor to generate and validate feature ideas.
Open Cursor and attach relevant files (user feedback, roadmap, analytics, competitor notes). Then send:
"Analyze my product based on the attached context:
- What is our core value proposition?
- Who are our target users and what problems do they have?
- What are our current strengths and weaknesses?
- What opportunities exist based on user feedback and competitive landscape?
Summarize this in a concise brief."
"Based on the product brief above, generate 12 new feature ideas:
- 4 quick wins (easy to build, immediate value)
- 4 innovative ideas (unique, differentiated)
- 4 ambitious ideas (game-changing, align with long-term vision)
For each: one sentence description, user problem solved, and effort estimate."
Pick your top 2 favorites and explore them:
"For these 2 feature ideas:
[Idea 1]
[Idea 2]
For each, provide:
- User Flow: Core interaction in 3-5 steps
- Differentiation: Why is this better than competitors?
- Risks & Assumptions: What could go wrong?
- Success Metrics: How would we measure this?
Then create an ASCII wireframe showing the key screens and what part of the user journey it solves."
Challenge your top idea before building:
"For [selected feature]:
- What's the riskiest assumption we're making?
- What's 10x simpler but delivers 80% of the value?
- Based on my codebase, what's the minimal viable version we could ship first?
- How can we break this into smaller shippable pieces?
Identify the smallest thing we could build this week to start learning."
