create-prd

create-prd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Karthick-Ramachandran/persist-os. It costs 55 tokens per session (449 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating or updating a feature product requirements document, or PRD. A PRD explains what should be built, why it matters, what is included, and how success will be tested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define feature scope, user intent, non-goals, test expectations, security and privacy considerations, and follow-up architecture work.
Why use it?
It turns a feature idea or change request into shared requirements with clear boundaries, acceptance criteria, security notes, and links to source documents.

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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Skill: Create PRD

Purpose

Create a useful feature PRD that helps humans and AI agents understand what should be built and why.

Inputs

  • Feature name or problem statement.
  • User goal or business reason.
  • Any existing product notes, tickets, or change requests.

Required Reading

  • docs/00-product/BRD.md
  • docs/00-product/PRD.md
  • Relevant existing docs/40-features/<feature>/
  • Relevant accepted ADRs in docs/adrs/

Output Files

  • docs/40-features/<feature>/PRD.md
  • docs/40-features/<feature>/ACCEPTANCE.md, when acceptance criteria are part of the request.
  • docs/40-features/<feature>/CHANGE_REQUESTS.md, when changing existing requirements.

Process

  1. Identify the user, problem, desired outcome, and non-goals.
  2. Link the feature to product goals and existing source-of-truth docs.
  3. Define acceptance criteria that can be tested.
  4. Capture security, privacy, file write, dependency, and MCP implications.
  5. Identify architecture areas that require follow-up review.
  6. Keep the PRD concise and implementation-guiding.

Stop Conditions

Stop and request human decision if:

  • Product intent is contradictory.
  • A requested behavior conflicts with an accepted ADR.
  • The feature adds network, telemetry, AI API, cloud, MCP runtime, auth, secrets, or file write behavior without explicit approval.
  • Scope is too broad to define testable acceptance criteria.

Quality Bar

  • The PRD states goals, non-goals, users, acceptance criteria, risks, and source links.
  • Acceptance criteria are concrete enough to drive tests.
  • Security and architecture implications are not generic filler.
  • The PRD does not duplicate full architecture docs.

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.
