prd-and-handoff

prd-and-handoff is a skill for Claude Code from Kaminoikari/product-playbook. It costs 86 tokens per session (8,380 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for preparing a product requirements document and an engineer handoff package. A PRD explains what a product should do and why; a handoff package gives developers the requirements, technical context, tasks, and setup information they need.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write PRDs, architecture notes, task lists, tickets, setup instructions, and other development handoff materials.
Why use it?
It turns product ideas into clearer documents that engineers can act on. This reduces missing requirements, unclear scope, and repeated questions during development.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is # Usage: chmod +x scripts/setup.sh && ./scripts/setup.sh.

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-and-handoff 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 12d 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-and-handoff is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kaminoikari/product-playbook (24 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 8,380 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
