I think we ve all been there you have a cool ai idea but 10 minutes into brainstorming you realise its either been done a thousand times or its way too complex for a solo dev. When I started building my latest project I decided to treat claude as a contrarian product manager rather than just a chatbot. Instead of asking how do I build this I asked why will this fail My original idea was a massive all in one prompt management platform but claude analyzed the mental tax of existing tools and pointed out that most people dont want a new library to manage they want a way to fix a single broken prompt right now. I set up a claude .md file in my repo with a specific instruction: Do not agree with my feature ideas. If a feature adds more than 2 clicks to the user journey, tell me its a bad idea. It actually worked. Claude helped me kill three cool features that would have killed my launch timeline. so how does everyone else else uses claude for their ideas? submitted by /u/Dismal-Rip-5220
