Indie devs, PMs, and founders share one weekly job: turn messy ideas into the next concrete step. ~80% of that work fits a prompt template. This hub collects 12 product & startup prompt types: PRD drafts, user stories, feature prioritization, app onboarding copy, App Store listings, release notes, product positioning, startup idea evaluation, pricing hypotheses, user-feedback analysis, roadmap planning, and help-center FAQs. Built for indie devs, PMs, and small-team founders.

12 prompts to write user stories that are atomic, testable, and prioritized — from feature decomposition to acceptance criteria audit for agile teams.
12 prompts for feature prioritization with RICE, MoSCoW, Kano — plus anti-priority lists, surprise reprioritization, stakeholder framing, kill criteria, and dependency mapping.
App Store and Play Store review-response prompts — turn 1-star reviews into rating recoveries, handle bug reports, defuse anger, and document feature requests without sounding scripted.
App Store and Play Store screenshot caption prompts — the 3-7 word headlines stacked above each screenshot that decide whether a user installs after 1.5 seconds of scrolling.
Churn-reason analysis prompts that turn cancel-flow surveys, exit interviews and downgrade trails into actionable retention work — separating reversible churn from inevitable churn.
Competitor matrix prompts — build feature-by-feature comparison tables, find gaps, score yourself honestly, and convert the result into positioning and roadmap decisions.
Feature-launch announcement prompts for every surface — in-app banner, push, email, X / LinkedIn / Reddit post, changelog, press blurb — written from one source brief without losing voice across channels.
Help-center FAQ prompts that surface the questions users actually ask, scaffold deflection-aware answers, and structure the help center so support volume drops without hurting trust.

MVP validation prompts that design cheap, falsifiable experiments before any code is written — landing pages, smoke tests, fake doors, concierge MVPs, and Wizard-of-Oz tests with clear success criteria.
Negative-review analysis prompts that cluster 1-2 star reviews by root cause, separate symptoms from real problems, and surface the 3 fixes that would lift the rating most.
PRD outline prompts that produce the table of contents and section skeleton — not the prose. For PMs who want a defensible structure before writing a single paragraph.
Pricing-hypothesis prompts that help founders and PMs stress-test packaging, tier structure, free vs freemium vs trial choice, anchor and decoy pricing, and willingness-to-pay before testing in market.
Positioning prompts for founders and PMMs — define market category, real alternatives, unique value, target segment, and the story that follows. Anchored in the April Dunford "Obviously Awesome" framework.
Problem-statement prompts for PMs and founders — write the "we are solving X for Y because Z" framing that anchors every PRD, pitch and roadmap decision before any feature exists.
Feedback-clustering prompts that compress hundreds of support tickets, survey responses, NPS comments and reviews into 8-12 actionable themes — with counts, severity, and proposed actions.
Retention-experiment prompts that design single-variable D1 / D7 / D30 lifts, separate true retention gains from short-term noise, and convert results into shippable habit-loop changes.
12 prompts to convert fuzzy user stories into testable acceptance criteria — Given/When/Then, edge cases, negative paths, non-functional reqs, cross-team contracts.
12 prompts for in-app onboarding copy — welcome screens, permission asks, empty states, tooltips, aha-moment pitch, activation pushes, re-onboarding, accessibility — all tight, action-led.
12 prompts for App Store / Google Play listing copy that ranks AND converts — title pairs, subtitle, promo text, screenshot captions, ASO keywords, localization.
12 prompts for feature prioritization with RICE, MoSCoW, Kano — plus anti-priority lists, surprise reprioritization, stakeholder framing, kill criteria, and dependency mapping.
12 prompts to design growth experiments that won't waste a quarter — falsifiable hypothesis, sample-size math, guardrail metrics, and honest reads of flat or negative results.
12 prompts to apply JTBD rigorously — switch-trigger interviews, defensible job statements, functional/emotional/social splits, and using JTBD as a feature-cut filter instead of a brainstorm toy.
12 prompts to scope an MVP that actually validates — testable hypothesis, 30%-backlog cut, Wizard-of-Oz / smoke-test alternatives, 6-week time-box, kill/pivot/double-down criteria.
12 prompts to draft PRDs at different scopes — feature, epic, MVP, mockup spec, vendor brief, risk register, integration, deprecation, A/B — with built-in 'what we're NOT doing'.
12 prompts for release notes users actually read — standard 3-section, voicey, mobile-app short, major-release announcement, breaking changes, beta, multi-audience, security-only, rollback.
12 prompts for quarterly and 6-month roadmaps that account for capacity, dependencies, replanning triggers, and anti-roadmap so the plan survives the first scope change.
12 prompts to pressure-test startup ideas — market sizing, moat, distribution, unit economics, why-now, kill criteria, pivot menu, and a brutal pre-mortem so love doesn't override logic.
13 prompts to build user personas — research-backed, behavior-led, jobs-to-be-done linked, with decision criteria not demographics.
12 prompts to write user stories that are atomic, testable, and prioritized — from feature decomposition to acceptance criteria audit for agile teams.
