skill-prd

skill-prd is a skill for Claude Code from nyldn/claude-octopus. It costs 27 tokens per session (820 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for writing a product requirements document, or PRD: a written description of what a new product or feature should do and how success will be judged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning a new feature or product and you need an AI-oriented PRD based on clarified requirements and limited research.
Why use it?
It gathers the missing context before writing requirements, so the document reflects the users, problem, goals, constraints, and existing system.

About the project

Claude Octopus is an orchestration project that sends research, design, and coding tasks to Claude Code and other AI model providers so their results can be compared. Developers use it for multi-model work, disagreement detection, reviews, persistent context, and an optional workflow that moves from discovery through delivery. The catalogue entries are its commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, plugins, and settings.

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

skill-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 8d 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.

DO NOT call Skill() again. DO NOT load any more skills. Execute directly.


PHASE 0: CLARIFICATION (MANDATORY)

Before writing ANY PRD content, you MUST ask the user these questions:

I need to understand your requirements before creating the PRD.

1. **Target Users**: Who will use this? (developers, end-users, admins, etc.)
2. **Core Problem**: What specific pain point does this solve? Any metrics?
3. **Success Criteria**: How will you measure if this succeeds?
4. **Constraints**: Any technical, budget, or timeline constraints?
5. **Existing Context**: Is this greenfield or integrating with existing systems?

Please answer these (even briefly) so I can create a more targeted PRD.

WAIT for user response before proceeding to Phase 1.

If user says "skip" or provides the feature description inline, extract what you can and note assumptions.


PHASE 1: QUICK RESEARCH (Max 2 searches)

Only search if topic is unfamiliar. Limit to 2 web searches max:

  • One for domain/market context
  • One for technical patterns (if needed)

Do NOT over-research. 60 seconds max for this phase.


PHASE 2: WRITE PRD

Structure:

  1. Executive Summary - Vision + key value prop
  2. Problem Statement - Quantified pain points by user segment
  3. Goals & Metrics - SMART goals, P0/P1/P2 priority, success metrics table
  4. Non-Goals - Explicit boundaries (what we WON'T do)
  5. User Personas - 2-3 specific personas with use cases
  6. Functional Requirements - FR-001 format with acceptance criteria
  7. Implementation Phases - Dependency-ordered, time-boxed
  8. Risks & Mitigations - Top 3-5 risks with mitigation strategies

After drafting the PRD but BEFORE self-scoring, dispatch the draft to a second provider for adversarial review. A single-model PRD has blind spots — cross-provider challenge surfaces wrong assumptions, uncovered scenarios, and contradictory requirements.

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.
