## 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.

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

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

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

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