# Brainstorm ideas

> Brainstorm for product thinking before pixels: options, trade-offs, and edge cases.

Use Brainstorm when you are still deciding:

* What the user journey should be
* Which UX approach makes sense
* What edge cases matter
* What the screen should include
* How to structure a product flow
* What trade-offs exist
* What assumptions need to be checked

Good Brainstorm prompts:

* "What are the edge cases for a guest checkout flow?"
* "Compare three onboarding approaches for a B2B analytics tool."
* "Given this PRD, what requirements are unclear from a UX perspective?"
* "Review this feature idea and suggest the safest MVP flow."

Brainstorm outputs can include structured options, trade-off breakdowns, product notes, flow diagrams, PRD-style artifacts, UX risks, and edge case lists.

Use Brainstorm before Design when the problem is unclear.
