What it does
Brainstorm Ideas New is an agent skill from phuryn/pm-skills. Brainstorm 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.
Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: PM Skills Marketplace: 100+ agentic skills, commands, and plugins — from discovery to strategy, execution, launch, and growth. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Starting product discovery for a new product
- Exploring features for a startup idea
- Doing initial ideation
Example prompts
- “/brainstorm-ideas-new”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Understand the opportunity: Confirm the product concept, target market segment, and what the users want to achieve.
- Ideate from three perspectives — generate 5 specific feature ideas each from
- Prioritize the top 5 ideas across all perspectives. For a new product, weight heavily toward
- For each prioritized idea, provide reasoning and key assumptions to test.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6058e29. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
productcompass.pm
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Brainstorm Ideas New loads about 608 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 265 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- brainstorm-ideas-new
- description
- Brainstorm 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.
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:
Understand the opportunity: Confirm the product concept, target market segment, and what the users want to achieve.
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
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
For each prioritized idea, provide reasoning and key assumptions to test.
Think step by step. Save substantial output as a markdown document.
