Catherine Wu (via Sachin Rekhi):

Step 1: Idea → Prototype Got a feature idea? Skip the spec. Build a working prototype using Claude Code instead.

Step 2: Internal Launch Ship that prototype to all Anthropic engineers immediately. No polish required—just functionality.

Step 3: Watch & Listen Track usage religiously. Collect feedback actively. Let real behavior, not opinions, guide decisions.

Step 4: Data-Driven Prioritization

• High usage + positive feedback → roadmap priority
• Low engagement or complaints → back to iteration

I’m increasingly of the opinion that focusing on prototypes first cuts through a lot of what ails many product development processes.
