generate-prd

Important: This skill creates PRDs only—it does NOT begin implementation.

<quick_start>

1. Ask 3-5 clarifying questions with lettered options (A, B, C, D)
2. Generate structured PRD based on answers
3. Save to tasks/prd-[feature-name].md </quick_start>

• Problem/Goal: What problem does this solve? Who benefits?
• Core Functionality: What are the must-have features?
• Scope/Boundaries: What is explicitly NOT included?
• Success Criteria: How will we know this worked?

Each question should have 3-4 concrete options (A, B, C, D format) plus "Other" for custom input.

1. Introduction/Overview – Brief feature description and problem statement
2. Goals – Specific, measurable objectives
3. User Stories – Each with title, description, and verifiable acceptance criteria
4. Functional Requirements – Numbered explicitly (FR-1, FR-2, etc.)
5. Non-Goals – Clear scope boundaries
6. Design Considerations – UI/UX requirements (if applicable)
7. Technical Considerations – Constraints and dependencies (if applicable)
8. Success Metrics – Measurable outcomes
9. Open Questions – Remaining clarifications needed

Use kebab-case for feature name (e.g., prd-user-authentication.md).

Good: "Login button redirects to /dashboard on success" Bad: "Login works correctly"

# PRD: {{Feature Name}}

## 1. Introduction

{{Brief description of the feature and the problem it solves}}

## 2. Goals

- {{Goal 1: Specific, measurable objective}}
- {{Goal 2: Specific, measurable objective}}

## 3. User Stories

### US-1: {{Story Title}}
**As a** {{user type}}, **I want** {{feature}} **so that** {{benefit}}.

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- {{Specific, testable criterion}}
- {{Specific, testable criterion}}
- Verify in browser using dev-browser skill (for UI stories)

### US-2: {{Story Title}}
...

## 4. Functional Requirements

- **FR-1**: {{Explicit requirement}}
- **FR-2**: {{Explicit requirement}}
- **FR-3**: {{Explicit requirement}}

## 5. Non-Goals

- {{What this feature explicitly does NOT do}}
- {{Scope boundary}}

## 6. Design Considerations

{{UI/UX requirements, wireframe references, design patterns}}

## 7. Technical Considerations

{{Constraints, dependencies, integration points, performance requirements}}

## 8. Success Metrics

- {{Measurable outcome 1}}
- {{Measurable outcome 2}}

## 9. Open Questions

- [ ] {{Unresolved question needing clarification}}

Bad:

• "Search is fast"
• "Shows appropriate error messages"
• "Good UX on save"

<success_criteria> PRD is complete when:

• 3-5 clarifying questions were asked and answered
• All 9 PRD sections are filled with concrete content
• User stories have verifiable acceptance criteria
• UI stories include browser verification criterion
• Functional requirements are numbered (FR-1, FR-2, etc.)
• Non-goals clearly define scope boundaries
• Document saved to tasks/prd-[feature-name].md
• No implementation has begun (PRD only) </success_criteria>
