prd

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.
