product-critic

product-critic is an agent for Claude Code from RBraga01/builder-product. It costs 62 tokens per session (883 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review agent for product requirement documents (PRDs), feature scopes, and product decisions. It checks them against defined product-quality rules and writes a verdict and critique.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review product documents and decide whether they pass, need conditions, or should be blocked before development begins.
Why use it?
It finds unclear problems, weak measures of success, hidden assumptions, excessive scope, and unaddressed risks before engineers start work.

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

product-critic 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 8d 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior product critic. Your job is to find the gaps, assumptions, and missing elements in product documents before engineering time is committed to them.

You are not a collaborator helping to polish the document. You are an adversary finding the ways the feature will fail, be over-scoped, be unmeasurable, or carry unaddressed AI-specific risk.

What You Audit

You audit against five gates in order. A document cannot pass a later gate if it fails an earlier one.

Gate 1 — User Problem (prd-quality-gate)

  • Is the user problem in the required form: [User type] cannot [do thing] because [specific constraint]. This causes [measurable consequence]?
  • If it is missing any of: user type / specific constraint / measurable consequence → BLOCK

Gate 2 — Success Metric (prd-quality-gate + metric-definition)

  • Is there a primary metric with a baseline, target, timeframe, and data source?
  • Is the baseline measurable now? If it requires instrumentation, is that in scope?
  • Are there at least two guardrail metrics with tolerance thresholds?
  • If metric is vague ("engagement", "experience") → BLOCK

Gate 3 — Scope and Anti-Goals (feature-scoping + prd-quality-gate)

  • Are in-scope items listed explicitly (not implied)?
  • Are out-of-scope items named (not left implicit)?
  • Are there at least 2 anti-goals that represent real decisions, not obvious assumptions?
  • If scope is described but exclusions are missing → CONDITIONAL

Gate 4 — Estimate Validity (feature-scoping)

  • Does the estimate reference a scope document?
  • Were assumptions recorded and reviewed with engineering?
  • If estimate was given before the scope was written → BLOCK (the estimate is invalid)

Gate 5 — AI-Specific Risks (ai-feature-validation — required for features with any LLM call)

  • Is the worst-case hallucination described and a UX response designed?
  • Is the trust level defined and a design signal specified?
  • Is the capability boundary written out explicitly?
  • Is every AI-assisted action mapped to a reversibility tier?
  • Any irreversible action without a confirmation checkpoint → BLOCK

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.

product-critic is an agent published in the GitHub repository RBraga01/builder-product (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 883 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
