From Product Idea to Proof of Concept
A six-lesson workshop that takes a defined product idea all the way to a working proof of concept. Theory plus copy-pasteable AI prompts for Claude and Claude Code, so the document writing and the code writing both happen with you in the loop.
Map your user stories
Breadth before depth. Twelve specific stories beat three abstract ones — and an AI prompt does the first draft for you.
Lesson 2 · 8 minPrioritize your stories
MoSCoW, done honestly. The trap is calling everything Must. The discipline is naming the Won't.
Lesson 3 · 12 minWrite the high-level spec
Spec is the 'what' in plain language — one paragraph per Must story, plus a sketch of the system around them.
Lesson 4 · 10 minPrioritize features and pick the POC slice
A POC is not a small product. It's the thinnest end-to-end path that proves the riskiest assumption.
Lesson 5 · 12 minWrite the PRD
Two pages, six sections. Length is a feature. The non-goals do as much work as the goals.
Lesson 6 · 18 minBuild the proof of concept
Pick a stack you can ship today. Feed your PRD into Claude Code or Cursor as the source of truth. Iterate one feature at a time. Deploy a preview after each.
