create-json-prd

create-json-prd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from marchatton/agent-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,808 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A converter that turns an existing product-requirements document, or PRD, into structured JSON for Ralph, an execution tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps convert a PRD Markdown file into a matching JSON file while preserving related shaping information such as briefs, breadboards, investigations, and risk registers.
Why use it?
It gives Ralph a consistent machine-readable version of requirements, stories, checkpoints, and status instead of leaving them only in Markdown text.

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-json-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 6d 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 — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PRD Generator (JSON Only)

Create a structured JSON PRD that Ralph can execute deterministically. This PRD is the single source of truth for stories, gates, and status.

This skill ingests PRD markdown written via $create-prd (for example prd.md / prd-overall.md / prds/<slice_id>_<slug>/prd.md) and produces the matching PRD JSON.

Important: Do NOT implement anything. Only generate JSON.

Inputs

Required:

  • A PRD markdown file path (one of):
    • prd.md (single-PRD dossier)
    • prd-overall.md (multi-PRD dossier overall/spine)
    • prds/<slice_id>_<slug>/prd.md (multi-PRD dossier slice)
    • (Optional legacy naming) prd-<slug>.md if a dossier uses that pattern

Optional (for "no information loss"):

  • Shaping inputs in the same dossier (if present): brief.md, breadboard-pack.md, spike-investigation.md, risk-register.md

If the user only provides a feature description (no PRD markdown), NO-GO: ask them to create prd.md via $create-prd first.

Outputs

  • Save the PRD JSON alongside the PRD markdown with the matching basename (per docs/04-projects/AGENTS.md):
    • prd.md -> prd.json
    • prd-overall.md -> prd-overall.json
    • prd-<slug>.md -> prd-<slug>.json
    • prds/<slice_id>_<slug>/prd.md -> prds/<slice_id>_<slug>/prd.json

If the prompt provides an explicit output path, save to that path instead.

The Job

  1. Read the PRD markdown and extract all details needed for a deterministic PRD JSON.
  2. If required information is missing, invoke $ask-questions-if-underspecified and ask clarifying questions (see below).
  3. Always ask about quality gates (commands that must pass).
  4. Generate a detailed PRD JSON that follows the structure below and save it to the output path.

Step 1: Clarifying Questions (When Needed)

Only ask questions when the PRD markdown is missing required inputs for the JSON shape. If you need to ask questions, use $ask-questions-if-underspecified and follow its workflow.

Changes

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.
