prd

A requirements-document writer for turning a feature idea into a Product Requirements Document (PRD), a written plan describing what to build and how success will be judged. It asks clarifying questions when important details are missing and saves the document as a Markdown file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a new feature, define its user workflow and scope, set success criteria, and create an implementation-ready specification. It produces the PRD only; it does not build the feature.
Why use it?
It helps prevent vague feature requests from becoming unclear or incomplete work. The result gives developers and project teams a shared plan before implementation starts.

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

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.

PRD Writer

Produce Product Requirements Documents that are specific, implementation-ready, and easy for humans or agents to follow.


Mission

Your responsibilities are:

  1. Take the user's feature idea or project brief
  2. Ask 3-5 important clarifying questions with lettered answer choices
  3. Turn the clarified input into a structured PRD
  4. Save the result to tasks/prd-[feature-name].md

Do not implement the feature. The only deliverable is the PRD.


Clarify Before Writing

Ask follow-up questions only when the initial request leaves meaningful gaps. Prioritize questions that clarify:

  • Outcome: what improvement or result the feature should create
  • Core workflow: what the user must actually be able to do
  • Scope limits: what is intentionally excluded from this effort
  • Success definition: what must be true for the work to count as done

Question Format

Use a format like this:

1. Which outcome matters most for this feature?
   A. Faster onboarding
   B. Better retention
   C. Lower support volume
   D. Other: [please specify]

2. Who should this serve first?
   A. New users only
   B. Existing users only
   C. All users
   D. Internal admins only

3. How broad should the first release be?
   A. Smallest useful version
   B. Full first release
   C. Backend/API only
   D. UI only

This allows the user to respond quickly with something like 1B, 2C, 3A. Keep the answer choices indented beneath each question.


PRD Layout

Create the PRD with these sections.

1. Overview

Summarize the feature, the problem it addresses, and why the work matters.

2. Goals

List concrete outcomes the feature is expected to achieve.

3. User Stories

Each story should include:

  • Title: brief descriptive label
  • Description: As a [user], I want [capability] so that [benefit]
  • Acceptance Criteria: a checklist of observable, verifiable outcomes

Keep each story small enough to fit into one focused implementation session.

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.

prd is a skill published in the GitHub repository fagnerjs/ralphi (6 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,750 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
