prd-writer

prd-writer is a skill for Claude Code from aroyburman-codes/pm-skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (955 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning a feature idea or problem statement into a product requirements document (PRD). A PRD is a written plan describing what should be built, for whom, and how success will be judged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a new feature or product, including its problem statement, user stories, requirements, success measures, scope limits, and launch plan.
Why use it?
It organizes an early idea into a shared specification, reducing ambiguity about the problem, users, requirements, goals, and launch plan.

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-writer 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 10d 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.

PRD Writer Skill

Generate a complete, structured PRD from a feature idea, problem statement, or brief description.

When to Use

  • User needs to write a PRD for a new feature
  • User has an idea and wants it turned into a structured spec
  • User says /prd-writer followed by a feature description
  • Any time a product requirement needs to be documented

Framework: PRD Structure

1. Overview

  • Feature name: Clear, descriptive name
  • Author: [to be filled]
  • Date: Current date
  • Status: Draft / In Review / Approved
  • One-liner: What this feature does in one sentence

2. Problem Statement

  • What problem are we solving? Describe the user pain point or business need
  • Who has this problem? Primary user segment
  • How big is this problem? Estimated impact (users affected, frequency, severity)
  • Why solve it now? Urgency, strategic alignment, competitive pressure

3. Goals & Non-Goals

Goals:

  • 3-5 specific, measurable goals this feature should achieve
  • Each goal maps to a user need or business objective

Non-Goals:

  • Explicitly list what this feature will NOT do
  • Prevents scope creep and sets expectations

4. User Stories

Write 3-5 user stories in the format:

As a [user type], I want to [action] so that [benefit].

Include acceptance criteria for each:

  • Given [context], when [action], then [expected result]

5. Detailed Requirements

Functional Requirements:

ID Requirement Priority (P0/P1/P2) Notes
FR-1
FR-2

Non-Functional Requirements:

  • Performance: Latency, throughput, scalability targets
  • Security: Auth, data handling, compliance
  • Accessibility: WCAG level, screen reader support
  • Reliability: Uptime, error handling, graceful degradation

For AI/ML features, also include:

  • Model requirements: Accuracy, latency, cost per inference
  • Data requirements: Training data, eval data, data pipeline
  • Safety requirements: Content policy, guardrails, fallback behavior
  • Eval criteria: How model quality will be measured
