implement-from-prd

A workflow for turning a PRD, or product requirements document, into a detailed implementation plan. It fetches the document from ChatPRD and maps its requirements to development tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find a PRD, inspect the codebase, plan milestones, define acceptance criteria, and identify risks before implementation.
Why use it?
It helps break a feature request into ordered, reviewable steps before coding begins, so requirements are less likely to be missed.

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

implement-from-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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Implement from PRD

Trigger

User has a PRD in ChatPRD and wants to plan or start the implementation.

Workflow

  1. Help the user find the right PRD:
    • Search documents using search_documents if they give a name or keyword.
    • Or list recent documents using list_documents to browse.
    • Also check the local prd/ directory for previously saved specs.
  2. Fetch the full PRD content using get_document.
  3. Enter plan mode to build the implementation plan. The plan should:
    • Analyze the codebase to understand where new code should live, what can be reused, and what conventions to follow.
    • Break the PRD into implementation milestones, each a shippable increment ordered by dependency (schema → API → UI).
    • For each milestone, specify: files to create or modify, key implementation details, acceptance criteria from the PRD, and risks or unknowns.
    • Map every PRD requirement to at least one milestone so nothing is missed.
  4. Present the plan for the user to review and approve before starting implementation.
  5. Once approved, begin work on the first milestone.

Guardrails

  • Always use plan mode — never jump straight to implementation on a PRD.
  • Map every PRD requirement to at least one milestone.
  • Flag requirements that are ambiguous or missing technical detail.
  • Keep milestones small enough to review in a single PR.
  • Don't skip edge cases mentioned in the PRD.

Output

  • Implementation plan with ordered milestones
  • File-level change list per milestone
  • Requirement coverage mapping
  • Ready to execute on first milestone after approval

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.

implement-from-prd is a skill published in the GitHub repository ChatPRD/cursor-plugin (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 395 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
