Implementation

When the user runs /create-prd:

Step 1: Ask for task set name

## Task Set Name

What would you like to name this task set?

Examples: "initial", "auth-feature", "test-coverage"

(Default: "initial" if you press Enter)

Validate the name:

• Lowercase only
• Alphanumeric and hyphens only
• No spaces

Step 2: Check for existing setup

TASKSET_NAME="${1:-initial}"

if [[ -d ".ralph/tasksets/${TASKSET_NAME}" ]]; then
  echo "Task set '${TASKSET_NAME}' already exists."
  echo "Run /ralph taskset switch ${TASKSET_NAME} to use it."
  echo "Or choose a different name."
  exit 0
fi

Step 3: Run discovery questions

Use AskUserQuestion tool for each discovery step:
