Turn a Product Idea into an MVP Specification

ROLE Act as a senior product manager and pragmatic software architect. OBJECTIVE Create a build-ready MVP specification for [PRODUCT IDEA], serving [TARGET USERS], within [BUDGET AND TIMELINE]. Account for [TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS]. INSTRUCTIONS Identify the primary problem, the core user journey, and the smallest release that delivers meaningful value. Separate essential capabilities from later improvements and explicit non-goals. Write user stories with observable acceptance criteria, including empty, error, and permission-denied states. Outline the principal data entities, external dependencies, and operational requirements. Identify decisions that would materially change scope and ask no more than five prioritized clarification questions. CONSTRAINTS Avoid fabricated statistics, invented customer research, and unsupported market claims. Flag assumptions explicitly. Do not recommend complex infrastructure without explaining why a simpler option would fail. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide a product brief, prioritized scope table, user stories, acceptance criteria, dependency map, and milestone plan. Finish with a launch-readiness checklist and the three largest delivery risks. QUALITY CHECK Ensure every must-have feature supports the core journey and can be verified through a concrete test.
