Prompt

Help me organize an idea that is not fully developed yet into a one-page mini brief. Idea: [自然语言描述]; intended audience: [谁会用]; my current resources and time: [限制].

First, list the facts you can confirm from the input and the assumptions that still need confirmation. Then write: the problem to solve, one specific use case, the minimum deliverable, three things explicitly out of scope, a way to validate whether it is useful, and the first step that can be started today. Do not automatically add accounts, payments, AI Agents, or a complex backend unless the input explicitly requires them. Finally, ask no more than three questions that would affect the direction. Keep the tone practical and stay within 500 characters.

How to use

Idea: Keep track of books lent to friends. Problem: It’s hard to remember which book was lent to whom, and reminding people to return books can feel awkward. Minimum result: A list that records the book title, who it was lent to, and the lending date; each entry can be marked as returned. Not doing yet: Social recommendations, barcode scanning, public rankings. Validation: Use it continuously for two weeks and see whether it can retrieve three pieces of information that would otherwise require searching chat histories. First step: Fill out a table using five books currently on loan, then confirm whether the fields are sufficient.
