Idea Validation

Understand what the user wants, ask the right questions based on project type, and create a comprehensive PRD.

Phase A: Discovery

Step 1: Identify Project Type

First, determine project type from user's description or ask directly:

question: "Какой тип проекта?"
header: "Type"
options:
  - label: "Web App (SaaS)"
    description: "Веб-приложение с UI"
  - label: "Telegram Bot"
    description: "Бот для Telegram"
  - label: "REST/GraphQL API"
    description: "Backend сервис"
  - label: "CLI Tool"
    description: "Консольная утилита"
# Other types via "Other": Mobile App, Discord Bot, Library/SDK, Data Pipeline, Browser Extension

Step 2: Brainstorm Offer

Based on complexity, offer brainstorming:

Signal	Recommendation
Description < 10 words	Suggest brainstorm
Complex type (Telegram, Mobile, Data)	Suggest brainstorm
Detailed description	Suggest skip
User says "быстро"/"simple"	Auto-skip

question: "Хочешь уточнить идею через brainstorm?"
header: "Brainstorm"
options:
  - label: "Да, давай уточним"
    description: "Детальные вопросы → полный PRD"
  - label: "Нет, идея понятна"
    description: "Быстрые вопросы → минимальный PRD"
  - label: "Частично"
    description: "Ключевые вопросы только"

Step 3: Core Questions (всегда)

Q1: Problem

question: "Какую проблему это решает?"
header: "Problem"
options: [3-4 contextual options based on idea]

Q2: Target User

question: "Кто будет этим пользоваться?"
header: "User"
options:
  - label: "Для себя"
    description: "Личное использование"
  - label: "AI агенты"
    description: "Через API/MCP"
  - label: "Команда/Бизнес"
    description: "Совместная работа"
  - label: "Публичный сервис"
    description: "Широкая аудитория"

Q3: Core Action

question: "Что первое делает пользователь?"
header: "Action"
options: [3-4 contextual options]

Q4: Success

question: "Как понять что сработало?"
header: "Success"
options: [3-4 contextual options]

Step 4: Type-Specific Questions (если brainstorm)

For Telegram Bot:

question: "Как бот взаимодействует с пользователем?"
header: "Interaction"
options:
  - label: "Команды (/start, /help)"

    description: "Для своих фронтов"
  - label: "Public"
    description: "Для внешних разработчиков"
  - label: "Partner"
    description: "Для партнёров"

question: "Аутентификация?"
header: "Auth"
options:
  - label: "API Key"
  - label: "JWT"
  - label: "OAuth2"

question: "Вывод?"
header: "Output"
options:
  - label: "Текст"
  - label: "JSON"
  - label: "Файлы"
  - label: "Табличный"

Step 5: Constraints (если brainstorm full)

question: "Есть ли ограничения?"
header: "Constraints"
multiSelect: true
options:
  - label: "Бесплатные сервисы only"
    description: "Без платных зависимостей"
  - label: "Быстрый MVP"
    description: "Дедлайн < 1 недели"
  - label: "Scale 1000+ пользователей"
    description: "Нужна масштабируемость"
  - label: "Нет ограничений"

Phase B: PRD Generation

Minimal PRD (простые проекты, skip brainstorm)

# {Name} PRD

## Problem
{One sentence from Q1}

## User
{From Q2}

## Core Features
- [ ] {Feature from Q3}
- [ ] {Feature 2}
- [ ] {Feature 3}

## Success Metric
{From Q4}

## Tech Stack
{Based on project type}

---
Generated: {date}
Status: Draft

Standard PRD (средние проекты, partial brainstorm)

# {Name} PRD

## Problem
{One sentence from Q1}

## User
{From Q2 with context}

## Product Type
{Type} — {type-specific details}

## Core Features (MVP)
1. **{Feature Name}**
   - User story: As a {user}, I want to {action} so that {benefit}
   - Acceptance criteria:
     - [ ] {Criterion 1}
     - [ ] {Criterion 2}

2. **{Feature 2}**
   ...

## Non-Goals
- {What we're NOT building}

## Success Metrics
- **Primary:** {From Q4}

## Tech Stack
{Based on project type and answers}

## Dependencies
- {External APIs if any}
- {Third-party services}

---
Generated: {date}
Status: Draft

Full PRD (сложные проекты, full brainstorm)

# {Name} — Product Requirements Document

## Overview
{Brief description of what we're building and why}

## Problem Statement
{Detailed problem from Q1 with context}

## Target Users
- **Primary persona:** {From Q2}
- **Use context:** {When/where they use this}
- **User volume:** {Expected scale}

## Product Type
{Type}

### Type-Specific Requirements

### Feature 1: {Name}
- **User story:** As a {user}, I want to {action} so that {benefit}
- **Acceptance criteria:**
  - [ ] {Criterion 1}
  - [ ] {Criterion 2}
  - [ ] {Criterion 3}
- **Priority:** P0

### Feature 2: {Name}
...

## Non-Goals (Explicitly Out of Scope)
- Not doing {X} because {Y}
- Not doing {Z} in MVP, maybe later

## Success Metrics
- **Primary:** {From Q4}
- **Secondary:** {Supporting metrics}

## Technical Constraints

PRD Selection Logic

Project Type	Default PRD
CLI Tool	Minimal
Simple API	Minimal
Web App	Standard
Telegram Bot	Standard
Mobile App	Full
Data Pipeline	Full
SaaS with Auth	Full

Override:

• User chose "skip brainstorm" → Minimal
• User chose "partial" → Standard
• User chose "full brainstorm" → Full

After PRD Creation

1. Validate PRD:

   python3 scripts/validate_prd.py --path docs/PRD.md
   

2. Report to user:

   PRD saved to docs/PRD.md
   
   Summary:
   - Type: {project type}
   - Features: {count}
   - Complexity: {minimal/standard/full}
   
   Next: Task[rust-project-init] or Task[python-project-init]
   

Rules

• Ask type first — determines question flow
• One question at a time — don't overwhelm
• Adaptive depth — simple projects get simple PRD
• No guessing — if unclear, ask
• Save PRD.md — always persist
• Validate — run validate_prd.py after creation
