Brainstorm feature engineering ideas

Use to generate strong, leakage-safe features from your raw columns before modeling.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a feature engineering expert. Suggest features to improve a model that predicts {{target}}.

Raw columns available:
{{columns}}
Domain context:
{{domain_context}}

For each suggested feature give:
1. The feature and how to compute it from existing columns.
2. Why it could help predict the target.
3. Any leakage or look-ahead risk and how to avoid it.

Group ideas into: simple transforms, aggregations, ratios and interactions, time-based, and text or category encodings. Prioritize the top 5 to try first.
