A guided process for turning a rough product idea into requirements, user flows, and a product requirements document, or PRD. A PRD is a written plan describing what a product or feature should do.

Use it to ask clarifying questions, create a specification document, map user flows, and produce a handoff-ready PRD in stages.

It helps uncover missing context and prevents a vague idea from being handed to a development team as if it were a complete specification.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00086	$0.01294
Opus 5.5	$0.00034	$0.00518
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00259
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00129

Security

Grade A, and why

idea-to-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 2mo 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.

Idea to PRD

Take a rough product idea and turn it into a handoff-ready PRD through four stages. Each stage is gated by a user keyword — don't skip ahead, even if the user is excited.

Gather Context First

Read context/ for product positioning and target audience
Read notes/user-insights/ (if present) for known pain points and quotes
Check plans/ for active product plans the new idea may relate to or conflict with
Identify the user's role (PM, marketer, founder, designer) — adjust depth accordingly

The Four Stages

Stage 1 — Clarifying questions (immediate)

When the user shares an idea, generate 8-10 numbered clarifying questions before doing anything else. Cover:

Who is the user this serves?
What problem does it solve, in their words?
What's the desired outcome — what does success look like?
What constraints exist (timeline, budget, tech, regulatory)?
What have they tried, observed, or ruled out?
How does this compare to alternatives or existing solutions?
What does NOT belong in scope?

Wait for the user to answer. Don't auto-fill answers.

After answers come back, repeat unanswered questions or ask 2-3 follow-ups if needed. Don't move to Stage 2 until the picture is sharp.

End with: Next: type "spec doc" to generate the spec.

Stage 2 — Spec doc (triggered by "spec doc")

Generate a product spec from the answers. Save to outputs/discovery/<feature-slug>/01-spec.md:

# [Feature name] — Spec

## Product summary
[2-3 sentences]

## Problem solved
[What pain this removes, in user-language]

## Target audience
[Specific role, stage, or segment]

## Key features and functionality
- [Feature 1] — [what it does]
- [Feature 2] — ...

## Success metrics
- Leading: [observable in days/weeks]
- Lagging: [observable in months]

## Out of scope (explicit no's)
- [What this is NOT trying to do]

## Open questions
- [Anything still unclear]

End with: Next: type "design flows" to map the user flows.

Stage 3 — Design flows (triggered by "design flows")

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.
