start-prd

start-prd is a skill for Claude Code from fakoli/fakoli-plugins. It costs 133 tokens per session (3,457 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided interview workflow that turns a rough project idea into a structured draft product requirements document (PRD). It asks questions one at a time and writes the answers in a format the project tools can read.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define project goals, scope, requirements, and acceptance details for a new project.
Why use it?
It helps turn an incomplete idea into clear requirements before planning or 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

start-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 239 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Start a PRD — Rough Idea to PRD Draft

Produce a parseable PRD from an unstructured prompt by interviewing the user one question at a time. This skill writes .fakoli-state/prd.md — it does not parse, review, or approve. Those steps belong to the prd skill.


When to Use

  • The user has an idea ("I want to build a CLI that converts CSV to Parquet") but no PRD yet.
  • fakoli-state status reports prd-status: none and the user is not ready to write the template by hand.
  • A rough scope was discussed in chat and now needs to be captured as a structured document.
  • The user explicitly asks to "start a PRD", "draft requirements", "author a PRD", or "spec out" a project before planning.

Do not use this skill to parse, review, or approve a PRD that already exists — use the prd skill. Do not use this skill to score, plan, or expand tasks — use the plan skill. Do not use this skill when the user already has a complete prd.md in hand and just wants it loaded into state.


Prerequisites

.fakoli-state/ must exist. Confirm before proceeding:

ls .fakoli-state/state.db 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING: run fakoli-state init first"

If state.db is absent, run:

fakoli-state init --name "<project-name>"

This skill writes a file; it does not require any fakoli-state CLI subcommand to be available beyond init.


Workflow

Step 1 — Detect whether fakoli-flow:brainstorm is available

Before running the self-contained interview, run the explicit plugin check so the decision is deterministic and reproducible across sessions — no introspection of in-memory command lists, no fuzzy "if it seems available" prose:

claude plugin list 2>/dev/null | grep -q "fakoli-flow"
  • Exit code 0 (fakoli-flow plugin present): bridge by invoking /fakoli-flow:brainstorm as a sub-skill — proceed with the bridge block below.
  • Non-zero exit (plugin absent, or claude CLI itself not on PATH): fall through to Step 2 (self-contained interview). The fall-through is intentional graceful degradation: missing tooling never blocks the PRD-drafting flow.

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.
