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 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 1mo 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 — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/prd

Author a PRD interactively. Walks the user through the scaffold; invokes shield:story-coverage for story scaffolding; writes prd.md, prd.html, prd.meta.json.

Usage

/prd                          # interactive — prompts for everything
/prd <topic>                  # uses topic as seed for Problem / feature name
/prd --feature <name>         # explicit feature folder

Paths

Registry key Resolved path
prd {output_dir}/{feature}/prd.md
prd_html {output_dir}/{feature}/outputs/prd.html
prd_meta_json {output_dir}/{feature}/prd.meta.json

prd.meta.json is the PRD metadata sidecar (status, sections present, linked plans). /plan later updates the linked_plans field when it generates a plan against this PRD.

What it does

  1. Reads .shield.json for prd_template (custom team template path, optional)
  2. Resolves feature folder — --feature flag or current context
  3. Detects prior lean PRD in the folder — if present, offers upgrade flow (multi-select of standard sections to add)
  4. Asks for PRD type — standard (20 sections) or lean (10 sections)
  5. Pre-populates from prior /research transcript if present
  6. Walks Section 1 (Header) — defers Section 2 (Terminologies) for now
  7. Walks Sections 3, 4 (Problem, Personas), then Section 5 (Architecture & flows — optional Mermaid), then Section 6 (Goals)
  8. Invokes shield:story-coverage between Sections 6 and 8 — scaffolds expected stories (standard only — lean skips story-coverage)
  9. Walks Section 7 (Metrics); for standard, also walks Section 8 (Stories — prompts each story for Type: new | enhancement | existing)
  10. Walks Sections 9..14 (Functional through Assumptions) (standard only)
  11. Invokes shield:milestone-coverage between Sections 8 and 15 — scaffolds Milestones into §15 (or §8 for lean)
  12. Walks Section 15 rollout-mechanics, then Sections 16..20 (standard only — lean walks §9 Open questions, §10 Out of scope)
  13. Builds Terminologies (§2) — copies from research-transcript glossary, proposes terms via LLM scan of drafted body, user confirms
  14. Merges custom template if configured
  15. Writes prd.md, prd.html (rendered via Shield's renderer — includes auto-TOC + Mermaid rendering), prd.meta.json

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.
