writing-prds

writing-prds is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from liqiongyu/lenny_skills_plus. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,905 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for writing a product requirements document (PRD): a shared description of what a product or feature should do and how success will be measured. It can also define prompts and tests for AI features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create decision-ready requirements, success metrics, a press release and FAQ, or testable prompt and evaluation plans for AI features.
Why use it?
It turns scattered ideas into clear requirements that product, design, and engineering teams can agree on. This reduces ambiguity before detailed design or implementation begins.

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

writing-prds 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 9d 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.

Writing PRDs

Scope

Covers

  • Turning a product idea into a decision-ready PRD with unambiguous scope, requirements, and success metrics
  • Optionally producing a PR/FAQ (press release + FAQ) to force customer-centric narrative first
  • For AI features: adding a Prompt Set + Eval Spec so “requirements” are testable and continuously checkable

When to use

  • “Write a PRD / product spec / requirements doc for this feature.”
  • “Turn these messy notes into a PRD we can align on.”
  • “Create a PR/FAQ and then a PRD.”
  • “This is an AI feature; I need evals + prompts to define behavior.”

When NOT to use

  • You’re still choosing what strategy/market to pursue (do product vision / strategy first)
  • You need discovery from scratch (research plan, problem validation) more than requirements -> use problem-definition
  • You need a detailed engineering design doc (APIs, schemas, low-level architecture)
  • You’re prioritizing among many initiatives -> use working-backwards or roadmap prioritization first
  • You need build-ready interaction specs, user flows, or prototype briefs -> use writing-specs-designs
  • You need to define or refresh the success metric / North Star before writing requirements -> use writing-north-star-metrics

Inputs

Minimum required

  • Product + target user/customer segment
  • Problem statement + why now (what changed, what’s broken, or what opportunity exists)
  • Goal(s) + non-goal(s) + key constraints (timeline, policy/legal, platform, dependencies)
  • Success metric(s) + 2–5 guardrails (quality, safety, cost, latency, trust)

If it’s an AI feature (additionally)

  • What the model/system should do vs must never do (policy + safety)
  • Concrete examples of desired and undesired outputs
  • How correctness will be evaluated (offline tests, human review, online metrics)

Missing-info strategy

  • Ask up to 5 questions from references/INTAKE.md.
  • If answers are still missing, proceed with clearly labeled assumptions and provide 2–3 options (scope, metric, rollout).

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.
