product-brief is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from davekilleen/Dex. It costs 75 tokens per session (4,313 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product planning tool that asks guided questions about an idea and creates a PRD, or product requirements document. A PRD describes what a product or feature should do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a product idea, specify a feature, and create a structured product brief.
Why use it?
It turns an undeveloped idea into a clearer plan that can be discussed and built.

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

product-brief 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 1mo 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.

Purpose

Extract product ideas from your head through guided questioning, then generate a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD). Designed for product people who have a vision but need help articulating it clearly.

The Problem This Solves

You have an idea for a product or feature in your mind, but struggle to explain it comprehensively. This command acts as your product thought partner — asking the right questions to extract what you're envisioning, then structuring it into a PRD ready for a team to execute.

Usage

/product-brief [initial idea]

Examples:

  • /product-brief Add a notification system to our app
  • /product-brief Build a customer feedback portal
  • /product-brief Create an onboarding flow for new users
  • /product-brief (prompts you for the idea)

Process Flow

Phase 1: Capture Initial Idea

If no idea is provided: Ask: "What product or feature are you thinking about?"

  • Wait for their description (1 sentence to several paragraphs)
  • Capture it as the starting point

If idea is provided: Start with whatever the user provides:

  • Could be 1 sentence or 5 paragraphs
  • Capture it as the starting point
  • Don't judge, just absorb

Display:

## Initial Idea

[User's description]

---

**Next:** I'll ask a few questions to understand this better.

Phase 2: Clarifying Questions (Conversational)

Important: Ask questions conversationally, not as a survey. 2-3 questions at a time, then wait for answers before asking more.

Question Strategy:

Round 1 (Critical Context):

  • What problem does this solve?
  • Who is this for?
  • What success looks like?

Round 2 (Constraints & Scope): Based on Round 1 answers, ask about:

  • Timeline expectations
  • Technical constraints
  • Existing systems to integrate with
  • What's explicitly out of scope

Round 3 (User Experience):

  • How do users discover this?
  • What's the core user journey?
  • What actions should be easy vs hard?

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.
