product-prd

product-prd is a skill for Claude Code from mgiovani/cc-arsenal. It costs 172 tokens per session (2,952 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for choosing and writing the right product requirements document (PRD), from a short ticket or brief to a full specification. A PRD explains what should be built and why.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess whether documentation is needed, create briefs or full PRDs, choose between validation and execution formats, and record requirements for later building.
Why use it?
It prevents small tasks from receiving unnecessary documentation and ensures larger work has requirements detailed enough for implementation.

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

product-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/hygiene.py, scripts/scaffold.py, scripts/validate.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Product PRD

Author the right product doc for the work (sometimes a 3-line ticket, sometimes a full PRD), never more than the work warrants. This skill writes no application code; it produces the requirements a build (implement-feature, team-implement) then works from. Output lands under docs/specs/prd/.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

Parse the source (first match wins), then read it:

A trailing --tier brief|one-pager|big and/or --intent validation|execution overrides the assessment.

Prerequisites & fallback

Parallel research and discovery use the Task tool with Explore/haiku subagents. No Task tool? Run every research and discovery step inline, sequentially: the phase → gate → phase structure below is the workflow; subagents are just how it parallelizes.

Lean by default

The organizing principle. Default to a single docs/specs/prd/PRD.md and split a section into its own file only when it outgrows itself. Length is not quality: a bloated PRD and a tight one get rated worlds apart on content alone. Cut anything not traceable to the problem, a goal, or a success metric.

  • Track position with a single Phase: X line in your working notes: no per-turn counters, no resume state.
  • Cost stop-condition: if the work seems to want a large multi-file tree, stop and ask before emitting it. Never auto-generate a 12- or 37-file document set. That tree exists only behind scripts/scaffold.py --enterprise <tier>, for a platform-scale program that has genuinely outgrown one file.

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.
