create-prd

create-prd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor from ertra/pm-brain-for-cursor. It costs 56 tokens per session (3,680 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing tool for a product requirements document (PRD), which explains what a product or feature needs to do, plus a companion document describing how success will be measured. It builds these documents from an approved product brief when available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update product requirements, describe use cases and priorities, consider different product surfaces, and define business, adoption, activation, and retention measurements.
Why use it?
It turns an agreed product idea into a more detailed plan for design and engineering. It also provides a defined path when the brief is missing, including a short idea-gathering step.

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

create-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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 271 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PRD Writer (pm-brain)

Write the PRD pack — product requirements and success metrics — ideally from an approved product brief (01-product-brief.md in the feature hub or an explicit brief path). Preferred: brief exists → skip Step 0.5 and use the brief as source of truth. If no brief: offer create-product-brief first; if the user wants a PRD anyway, run Step 0.5 (braindump gate per PRODUCT-RULES.md) before Step 1.

Repo convention: Feature hub paths, skipping steps, and the skills table — see 02-templates/README.md (Feature hub convention, Skipping steps, Cursor skills).

The pack is two tightly-coupled files:

  • 02-product-requirements.md — use cases, priorities, cross-surface considerations
  • 03-success-metrics.md — business impact, activation, adoption, retention, proposed new events

Step 0: Locate the product brief

  1. Ask for the PROJECT Jira key (PROJECT-abcde) or the path to an existing product brief.
  2. Resolve the feature-hub folder: projects/{PROJECT-KEY}-{slug}/.
    • If only the key is given, list projects/ and match the PROJECT-{KEY}-* directory.
    • If multiple match, show them and ask which one.
  3. Confirm a brief is available:
    • 01-product-brief.md in the feature hub, or
    • An explicit brief path the user provided in Step 0. If neither exists, suggest create-product-brief or an external brief path. If they still want a PRD without a brief, continue to Step 0.5 (braindump gate).

Step 0.5: Braindump gate (only when no brief)

Run this step only if neither 01-product-brief.md in the feature hub nor an explicit external brief path is available. If either brief exists, skip Step 0.5 — the brief is the braindump; go to Step 1.

When no brief is available, follow PRODUCT-RULES.md before Step 1:

  1. Ask 3–5 product-sense questions from PRODUCT-RULES.md.
  2. Confirm the braindump sufficient? checklist (all four items — see PRODUCT-RULES.md).
  3. If any item is missing, ask one more targeted question and wait.
  4. Override: If the user says "skip braindump", proceed to Step 1 and log braindump: skipped by user in both PRD files' frontmatter when you write them.

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.
