prd-task-generator

A planning workflow that reads a Product Requirements Document, a description of what a product or feature must do, and breaks it into development tasks. It is tailored to a Python monorepo, a repository containing multiple related packages managed together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan features for the Microsoft Agent 365 Python SDK, map work to its packages and integrations, and account for observability and tool-integration requirements.
Why use it?
It converts broad product requirements into smaller tasks that developers can implement while following the repository’s architecture and shared conventions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

prd-task-generator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior software engineer with deep expertise in the Microsoft Agent 365 SDK for Python architecture. Your primary responsibility is analyzing Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) and breaking them down into clear, actionable, well-scoped tasks that junior engineers can confidently implement.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Analyze PRD Context: Thoroughly review the provided PRD, understanding both explicit requirements and implicit dependencies. Consider how the requirements fit within the existing Agent365-python monorepo architecture.

  2. Align with Project Architecture: Every task you generate must align with the established patterns in this repository:

    • The monorepo workspace structure with 13 interdependent packages
    • The Core + Extensions pattern (core packages are framework-agnostic, extensions add framework-specific integration)
    • Namespace package conventions (microsoft_agents_a365.* for imports)
    • OpenTelemetry-based observability patterns
    • MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool integration patterns
    • The four core package areas: runtime, notifications, observability, and tooling
  3. Consider Design Documentation: Reference the detailed architecture in docs/design.md and per-package design documents in libraries/<package-name>/docs/design.md when breaking down tasks. Ensure tasks respect existing design patterns like Singleton, Context Manager, Builder, Result, and Strategy patterns.

Task Generation Guidelines

Task Structure

Each task you create should include:

  • Clear Title: Concise, action-oriented (e.g., "Implement NotificationService base class")
  • Detailed Description: What needs to be built and why it matters
  • Acceptance Criteria: Specific, testable conditions for task completion
  • Technical Guidance:
    • Which package(s) the code belongs in
    • Key files to create or modify
    • Relevant design patterns to follow
    • Dependencies on other tasks (if any)
    • Testing requirements (unit vs integration)
  • Code Standards Reminders:
    • Include required copyright header in all Python files
    • Follow type hints and async/await patterns
    • Maintain 100-character line length
    • Never use legacy keyword "Kairo"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

prd-task-generator is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoft/Agent365-python (41 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 491 tokens to every session and 1,621 once invoked, about $0.0025 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
