# Create PRD Direction Roadmap from Brainstorm

## Context
- User Request: $ARGUMENTS
- Brainstorm Session: Identified by --name argument (session name or index).
- Source Brainstorm: Final brainstorm-summary_*.md file from the specified brainstorm session directory.
- Roadmap Directory: .taskmaster/docs/roadmap/

## Goal
To transform creative ideas from a brainstorming session into a focused roadmap that suggests phased PRD development for key features, providing directions for iterative improvements without timelines or session states.

## Process

1. **Identify Source Brainstorm:**
   - Use the --name argument to locate the correct brainstorm session directory (e.g., .taskmaster/docs/brainstorm/001-product-features/).
   - Read the final brainstorm summary document (brainstorm-summary_*.md) to extract key concepts and ideas.

2. **Extract Key Elements from Brainstorm:**
   - **Creative Insights:** Identify high-priority ideas and themes.
   - **Feature Opportunities:** Map brainstorm concepts to potential features, prioritizing by innovation potential.
   - **Improvement Directions:** For each feature, suggest iterative refinement paths (e.g., from initial idea to refined implementation).

3. **Generate PRD Direction Roadmap:**
   - Create a single comprehensive document outlining phased PRD suggestions for features.
   - Structure the content using the PRD Direction Roadmap Template, focusing on iterative PRD development and improvement suggestions.
   - Ensure the roadmap emphasizes directions for PRD creation, such as evolving ideas through validation and refinement.

4. **Notify User with Key Insights:**
   - Inform the user that the PRD direction roadmap has been generated.
   - Provide the file path and highlight top feature suggestions.
   - Suggest next steps: "Proceed to create detailed PRDs for suggested features using /planning/prd/2-create-from-brainstorm --name=[brainstorm_session_name] --feature=[feature_id]"

## Templates & Structures

### PRD Direction Roadmap Template
```markdown
# PRD Direction Roadmap: [Brainstorm Session Name]

**Created:** [Date]
**Source:** Brainstorm Session: [Brainstorm Session Name]
**Focus:** Phased PRD Development and Improvement Directions

---

## Executive Summary
- **Overview:** High-level suggestions for PRD development based on brainstorm ideas.
- **Key Features:** [Number] prioritized features with phased PRD directions.
- **Improvement Approach:** Iterative refinement from concepts to advanced implementations.

---

## Feature Suggestions

### Feature 1: [Feature Name]
- **Brainstorm Basis:** [Relevant ideas from brainstorm, e.g., innovative concepts].
- **Phased PRD Directions:**
  - **Phase 1 (Core):** Basic PRD focusing on initial idea validation.
  - **Phase 2 (Improvement):** Incorporate feedback for refinements.
  - **Phase 3 (Advanced):** Add scalability and integration ideas.
- **Improvement Suggestions:** [e.g., Prototype testing, evolve based on user engagement metrics].

### Feature 2: [Feature Name]
- **Brainstorm Basis:** [Relevant ideas].
- **Phased PRD Directions:** [Similar phased structure].
- **Improvement Suggestions:** [Specific directions].

---

## Overall Improvement Strategy
- **Iteration Model:** Use brainstorm feedback to refine PRDs iteratively.
- **Prioritization Criteria:** Based on innovation impact and feasibility.
- **Success Indicators:** [e.g., Alignment with creative goals, measurable improvements].

---

## Next Steps
- Create PRD for Feature 1 using suggested directions.
- Validate improvements through prototypes or user tests.
```

## Best Practices / DO & DON'T

### ✅ DO: Focus on Iterative PRD Directions
- Emphasize phased approaches that guide PRD evolution from ideas to refinements.
- Suggest specific improvement ideas tied to brainstorm concepts.
**Why:** This ensures the roadmap drives actionable, evolving PRD creation.

### ✅ DO: Prioritize Based on Brainstorm Insights
- Rank features by creative impact and feasibility from the brainstorm.
- Include rationale for each suggestion.
**Why:** Maintains alignment with original innovative ideas.

### ❌ DON'T: Include Timelines or Deadlines
- Avoid any time-based planning or horizons.
**Why:** Focus solely on directional guidance for PRD development.

### ❌ DON'T: Add Unnecessary Complexity
- Keep suggestions concise and directly tied to PRD phases.
**Why:** The goal is to provide clear directions, not over-engineer the roadmap.

## Output
- **Format:** Markdown document.
- **Location:** .taskmaster/docs/roadmap/
- **Filename:** roadmap-prd-directions_[brainstorm_session_name].md

## Example Usage
- Create PRD direction roadmap from brainstorm session: /planning/roadmap/2-create-from-brainstorm --name="product-features"
- Create by brainstorm index: /planning/roadmap/2-create-from-brainstorm --name="1"
