Why this topic matters

Turning a business idea into something specific enough to build takes days — clarifying requirements, defining users, and pressure-testing scope. Most ideas die in that gap. Using agent skills in Claude Code, compress that process into a single collaborative session: idea to vision, brief to implementation-ready PRD, with AI as your thought partner. In 30 minutes, watch this workflow live.
