Core Problem Solved: Eliminates prompt chaos by providing a single source of truth with version history.

✅ Must-Have Features (MVP)

  • Prompt CRUD - Create, read, update, delete prompts with metadata
  • Git-like Versioning - Track changes, revert, view diffs
  • Multi-Model Testing - Run prompts against 2-3 LLMs side-by-side
  • Basic Organization - Folders, tags, search
  • User Authentication - Secure individual accounts

🚫 Not in MVP

  • Team collaboration features
  • Advanced analytics & A/B testing
  • VS Code extension
  • API access
  • Prompt marketplace
  • Enterprise SSO

Week 7-8: Beta Launch Days 43-56

6 Risk Management & Contingencies

! Scope Creep

Adding too many features delays MVP launch.

  • Mitigation: Lock MVP features Week 0, use parking lot
  • Contingency: Cut low-priority features
! AI API Costs

Testing prompts across models gets expensive.

  • Mitigation: Implement caching, rate limits
  • Contingency: Switch to cheaper models
! Low User Adoption

Users don't see value in organized prompts.

  • Mitigation: Build 500+ waitlist, launch on PH
  • Contingency: Pivot to different target segment
! LLM Native Features

OpenAI/Anthropic add prompt management.

  • Mitigation: Focus on cross-provider features
  • Contingency: Pivot to team collaboration focus
