Daily Prompt Pack: MVP Scoping — Ship a Testable Plan in 30 Minutes

I’ve sat through planning meetings where three hours got burned arguing whether a feature belonged in v1. That’s a 30-minute conversation if you use the right prompts. These three force specificity — vague feature lists turn into user stories, ranked build plans, and specs an engineer can run with the same day.

Paste in your product idea, three sentences max. It returns 5 user stories in the standard “As a [user], I want [action], so that [outcome]” format. Rank each by impact and effort (High/Med/Low). Flag the single story that has to ship first for the MVP, and explain why the other four sit on the post-launch pile.

Feed it the raw brainstorm — that messy feature dump from your whiteboard or Notion doc. You get back a prioritized build table with: Feature, User Pain Score (1-10), Engineering Effort (in hours), Risk Level (Low/Med/High), and a Go/No-Go decision. Cap the MVP at 2 features total. For each cut, it writes a one-line trade-off so you can defend the call to a co-founder or investor without flinching.

[Cursor]

Drop in a one-paragraph app description and your target platform (web or mobile). It writes a technical spec in Markdown: core API endpoints, third-party services to wire up, a 3-table database schema for the MVP, and a deployment checklist. Under 500 words. Engineer-readable, not board-readable.
