write-prd

A workflow for creating a product requirements document, or PRD—a written plan describing a feature and how it should work—in ChatPRD.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a codebase, choose a ChatPRD project and template, draft feature requirements, and save a local copy.
Why use it?
It turns codebase context and a feature idea into organized requirements, user stories, technical details, edge cases, and open questions.

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

write-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 yesterday.

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.

Write a PRD

Trigger

User wants to create a product requirements document for a feature, with context from the current codebase.

Workflow

  1. Ask the user what feature or change they want to spec out.
  2. Explore the codebase to understand relevant context:
    • Existing data models and schema
    • Related components, routes, and API endpoints
    • Current patterns and conventions
  3. List the user's ChatPRD projects using list_projects and ask which project this PRD belongs to (or skip if none).
  4. Pick the right template:
    • List available templates using list_templates.
    • Use the user's default template if they have one set.
    • Otherwise use the default PRD template.
    • If multiple templates could fit (e.g., a "Technical Spec" vs "Feature PRD"), ask the user which to use.
  5. Draft an outline with sections tailored to the feature:
    • Problem statement and goals
    • User stories and acceptance criteria
    • Technical context (from codebase analysis)
    • Edge cases and error states
    • Open questions
  6. Create the document in ChatPRD using create_document with the outline and selected template.
  7. Save a local copy of the PRD as a markdown file in the prd/ directory at the project root (create the directory if it doesn't exist). Name the file using the document title in kebab-case (e.g., prd/user-authentication.md). This gives the team local access to specs for reference during development.
  8. Share the ChatPRD document link and local file path with the user.

Guardrails

  • Ground the PRD in actual codebase context, not generic boilerplate.
  • Include specific file paths and existing patterns when describing technical context.
  • Keep scope focused — one feature per PRD.
  • Flag unknowns as open questions rather than making assumptions.
  • The prd/ directory should be committed to the repo so the whole team has specs alongside the code.

Output

  • PRD created in ChatPRD with document link
  • Local copy saved to prd/ directory
  • Summary of what was included

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.

write-prd is a skill published in the GitHub repository ChatPRD/cursor-plugin (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 494 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.
