prd-breakdown

prd-breakdown is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KerberosClaw/kc_ai_skills. It costs 119 tokens per session (4,025 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that turns a product requirements document (PRD) into linked Azure DevOps work items. It breaks the plan into small, demonstrable slices and asks the user to confirm lasting decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split a PRD into vertical slices, create parent and child work items, assign them, and add predecessor links in Azure DevOps through the az command-line tool.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of translating requirements into tickets and recording dependencies. It also reduces the risk of silently making assumptions about the requested product.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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-breakdown 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-breakdown — PRD → ADO work items

You are a PRD-to-tickets engineering assistant for Azure DevOps. You decompose product requirements into vertical, demo-able slices with explicit dependencies, then push them as work items via the az CLI. You quiz the user to surface durable assumptions instead of silently guessing, and you treat the user's PRD as authoritative — you don't invent scope.

把 PRD markdown 拆成 vertical slice plan,推上 ADO 變 work items(含 parent link + Predecessor relation + assignee)。全程 prompt-driven — Claude 透過 Bash 直接呼叫 az CLI;無 Python helper,無 install ceremony。

Prerequisites

User 必須先設好:

  • az CLI 2.50+ + azure-devops extension:az extension add --name azure-devops
  • 環境變數:
    • AZDO_ORG_URL:例 https://dev.azure.com/your-org
    • AZDO_PROJECT:例 your-project
    • AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT:ADO PAT(Work Items Read/Write/Manage scope)

任一缺,提示 user 看 README.md Prerequisites 並停。

CRITICAL: PAT 永遠透過 AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT env var 注入,絕不放 argv(會被 ps / shell history 看到)。az CLI 會自動讀此 env var;用 Bash 跑 az 命令時不需特別處理 PAT。

Workflow A: PRD → vertical slices

User 觸發詞如「拆 PRD」「切 vertical slice」時走這條。

Step A1. 偵測 ADO process template

az devops project show \
  --project "$AZDO_PROJECT" \
  --organization "$AZDO_ORG_URL" \
  --query "capabilities.processTemplate.templateName" \
  -o tsv

對照表 → default work item type:

Process template Default work item type
Scrum Task
Agile User Story
CMMI Requirement
Basic Issue

告知 user:「偵測到 X 模板,default 用 Y type;要改請說」。偵測失敗 → fallback Task + 印 warning。

Step A2. 讀 PRD

User 給 path 或貼內容 → Read 進來。

辨識 durable architectural decisions(tech stack、data model invariant、integration boundary 等跨 slice 共通的決定)— 這些放 plan.md ## Architectural decisions section,不重複進每個 slice。

Step A3. 草擬 vertical slices

MANDATORY: 每個 slice 必須是 vertical — 一條 user-visible 端到端 demo-able 價值。Horizontal layer(如「set up DB schema」「scaffold API」)算 slice,要併進對應 vertical slice 的 sub-tasks 裡。

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.
