Triggers

Use this skill when:

• User selected PRP framework in project wizard
• User wants PRD-driven development
• Feature development or enhancement projects
• Creating comprehensive technical specifications
• Planning multi-phase implementations
• Building features with formal validation requirements
• Keywords: PRP wizard, PRD development, feature planning, implementation plan, requirements driven, PRP framework, product requirements, technical specification

Core Mission

Guide users through the complete PRP workflow:

1. Requirements Gathering: Structured questionnaire to capture all requirements
2. Complexity Assessment: Determine effort level and approach
3. PRD Generation: Create comprehensive Product Requirements Document
4. Implementation Planning: Break down into phases and tasks
5. Archon Integration: Create trackable tasks for execution

complexity_score += effort_scores[effort_level]

# Technical factors (1 point each)
complexity_score += len(technical_factors)

complexity_score += len(external_dependencies) * 2
complexity_score += len(internal_dependencies)

# Risk factors (1.5 points each)

Task Status Flow

Task Status Flow:
  todo -> doing -> review -> done

When moving to next phase:
  1. All tasks in current phase must be "done"
  2. All validation checkpoints must pass
  3. Update phase task status
  4. Begin next phase tasks

---

Execution Workflow

Step-by-step execution with validation loops.

Execution Steps

## Execution Protocol

### Step 1: Load Context
1. Read PRD from Archon documents
2. Load implementation plan
3. Identify current phase and task
4. Check validation checkpoint status

### Step 2: Execute Task
1. Mark task as "doing"
2. Implement according to task description
3. Follow acceptance criteria
4. Run validation commands

### Step 3: Validate
1. Run build validation
2. Run test validation
3. Run lint validation
4. Perform manual checks if required

### Step 4: Report
1. Update task status based on validation
2. If PASS: Mark task "review" or "done"
3. If FAIL: Document failure, keep task "doing"
4. Update Archon with progress notes

### Step 5: Next Task
1. Check if phase complete
2. If phase complete, run phase validation
3. If phase validation passes, start next phase
4. If all phases complete, feature is done

Validation Loop

def execute_with_validation(task_id):
    """Execute task with validation loop."""

    # 1. Get task details
    task = find_tasks(task_id=task_id)
    manage_task("update", task_id=task_id, status="doing")

    # 2. Execute implementation
    implement_task(task)

    # 3. Run validation
    validation_results = {
        "build": run_build_validation(),
        "test": run_test_validation(),
        "lint": run_lint_validation()
    }

    # 4. Check results
    all_passed = all(v["passed"] for v in validation_results.values())

    if all_passed:
        # Move to review/done
        manage_task("update",
            task_id=task_id,
            status="done" if task["is_auto_mergeable"] else "review",
            description=f"{task['description']}\n\n## Validation Results\n{format_results(validation_results)}"
        )
        return True
    else:
        # Keep as doing, add failure notes
        manage_task("update",
            task_id=task_id,
            description=f"{task['description']}\n\n## Validation Failed\n{format_failures(validation_results)}"

Quick Start Templates

Quick PRP (Low Complexity)

For features under 1 day:

# Quick PRP: [Feature Name]

## What
[1-2 sentences describing the change]

## Why
[Business/technical justification]

## How
[High-level approach]

## Tasks
1. [ ] [Task 1]
2. [ ] [Task 2]
3. [ ] [Task 3]

## Validation
- [ ] Build passes
- [ ] Tests pass
- [ ] Manual verification

## Done When
- [ ] [Acceptance criterion 1]
- [ ] [Acceptance criterion 2]

Enhancement PRP (Medium Complexity)

For enhancements to existing features:

# Enhancement PRP: [Feature Enhancement Name]

## Current Behavior
[How the feature works now]

## Desired Behavior
[How it should work after enhancement]

## User Impact
[Who benefits and how]

## Technical Approach
[How we'll implement this]

## Tasks
### Phase 1: Analysis
1. [ ] Review existing code
2. [ ] Identify change points

### Phase 2: Implementation
1. [ ] Implement changes
2. [ ] Update tests
3. [ ] Update documentation

### Phase 3: Validation
1. [ ] Run all tests
2. [ ] Manual QA
3. [ ] Performance check

## Rollback Plan
[How to revert if issues arise]

Error Handling

Common Issues and Resolutions

Issue	Resolution
PRD too vague	Re-run Phase 1 with more detailed questions
Complexity underestimated	Regenerate implementation plan with higher complexity
Validation failing	Identify failing validation, fix, re-run
Task blocked by dependency	Mark as blocked, work on other tasks
Scope creep	Document in "Out of Scope", create separate PRD
Missing requirements	Update PRD, regenerate affected tasks

Recovery Procedures

## Recovery Procedures

### Validation Failure Recovery
1. Identify failing validation
2. Analyze error output
3. Fix the issue
4. Re-run validation
5. If still failing, document and escalate

### Blocked Task Recovery
1. Identify blocking dependency
2. Create task for dependency if missing
3. Update task with blocker reference
4. Work on unblocked tasks
5. Return when blocker resolved

### Scope Change Recovery
1. Document requested change
2. Assess impact on existing PRD
3. Update PRD with changes
4. Regenerate affected tasks
5. Update timeline estimates
6. Get stakeholder approval

Best Practices

PRD Writing

1. Be Specific: Vague requirements lead to rework
2. Define Success: Every goal needs a measurable metric
3. Include Edge Cases: Document error handling up front
4. Set Boundaries: Out of scope is as important as in scope
5. Living Document: Update PRD as you learn more

Implementation

1. One Phase at a Time: Complete and validate before moving on
2. Validate Often: Run validations after each significant change
3. Document Decisions: Record why you chose specific approaches
4. Keep Tests Current: Tests should evolve with implementation
5. Clean Commits: Each commit should be a logical, working unit

Archon Integration

1. Update Status: Always update task status when state changes
2. Add Notes: Document blockers, decisions, and discoveries
3. Track Time: Note actual duration vs. estimates
4. Link Related Items: Connect tasks to PRD and each other

Command Reference

Command	Description
/prp-wizard	Start PRP wizard
/prp-wizard --quick	Quick PRP for simple features
/prp-wizard --resume	Resume existing PRP
/prp-status	Check PRP implementation status
/prp-validate	Run validation checkpoint
/prp-tasks	Generate Archon tasks from PRD

Integration with Project Wizard

When invoked from project-wizard skill:

# Project wizard hands off to PRP wizard
if selected_framework == "prp":
    # Pass context from project wizard
    prp_context = {
        "project_name": project_name,
        "project_type": project_type,
        "tech_stack": tech_stack,
        "archon_project_id": project_id,
        "working_directory": working_dir
    }

    # PRP wizard continues with Phase 1
    # Skip redundant questions already answered

Notes

• PRD quality directly impacts implementation quality
• Complexity assessment helps choose the right approach
• Validation checkpoints catch issues early
• Archon integration enables progress tracking across sessions
• Templates are starting points - adapt to project needs
• Always update PRD when requirements change
