🧠 I Was Drowning in Product Chaos — So I Wrote 25 Prompts and Set Fire to My Roadmap

Spoiler: They're $1 and they might just save your roadmap.

There comes a point in every dev’s life where Trello boards look like crime scenes.

You scroll through your ideas at 2AM and think:

“What even is this project anymore?”

“Why did I write ‘AI-powered empathy funnel’ in all caps??”

“Was this for the Goblin Kit or the insurance app?!”

Yeah. Same.

I hit that wall.

Then I hit it with fire.


💡 So I Did What All Feral Strategists Do…

I made a tool.

Not a Notion template. Not a shiny course. Not another system I’d abandon in three days.

Just 25 brutally focused AI prompts — because I needed something smarter than a blank page, but not another 10-hour strategy spiral.

Prompts that:

  • 🔥 Burn off the buzzwords
  • 🧠 Force you to think like a builder, not a brainstormer
  • 🧹 Give clarity to chaos-gremlin brains in caffeine boots
  • 👣 Lead you out of the roadmap swamp, one cursed breadcrumb at a time

🧪 What You’ll Get in PromptLite

⚡ 25 AI prompts to shake you out of chaos-mode and into clarity.

Split into four storm modes:


🌩️ 1. Naming (but not boring)

“Give me 7 emotionally charged product names based on metaphors like storms, temples, or weird little rituals.”

🔍 2. Offer Clarity

“What’s the pain that hurts more than the price? Turn it into a 3-word product subtitle.”

🎯 3. Funnel & Positioning

“What fear am I hiding behind ‘still refining’? Call it out. Offer the product I’d build if I wasn’t scared.”

🌀 4. Bonus Round: ‘Am I the Problem?’

“List 3 excuses I use to avoid shipping. Rewrite them as feral launch spells.”

There are 21 more inside the file.

I promise they’re just as weird, and just as useful.


These are real prompts from the file — not clickbait. Not vague fluff. Just fire.


🎯 Who This Is For

  • Creators drowning in “good ideas” but no direction
  • Devs building 10 things and monetizing 0
  • Neurospicy indie hackers with ADHD-bingo product walls
  • People like me who stare at their strategy doc and whisper: > “What if I just lit this whole thing on fire?”

💸 It’s $1 (Or Pay What You Want)

Or free. Or $7. Whatever feels like the right coin to toss in the spell jar.

Suggested price is $1 — but if this breaks your brain fog in half?

Pay what feels like a spell well cast.

💬 Final Thought

I built this because I was lost in my own mind.

If it helps even one of you burn through the noise and get your spark back?

🔥 That’s the whole point.

But if you're about to open another Notion tab instead of launching?

Maybe light a match.
