lite-prd

lite-prd is a skill for Claude Code from ragnar-pwninskjold/tech-snacks. It costs 86 tokens per session (808 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided interview process that turns a vague feature request into a lightweight product requirements document, or PRD—a written description of what to build and why.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask structured follow-up questions, save each question-and-answer round, and produce a file named lite-prd.md describing the feature.
Why use it?
It exposes unanswered questions and records decisions before development 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

lite-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 11d 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.

lite-prd

Turn a vague feature ask into a lightweight PRD by interviewing the user with AskUserQuestion, traversing the design tree (branch deeper when an answer opens new territory), persisting every round, and writing lite-prd.md.

What this does

  1. Reads the vague ask and picks a slug + output folder.
  2. Interviews the user in adaptive batches via AskUserQuestion (2–4 grouped questions per round), up to ~50 questions total.
  3. Traverses the design tree — when an answer materially changes scope or leaves a real ambiguity, branch deeper into that thread before moving on.
  4. Persists every question and answer to a Q&A log in the repo as it goes.
  5. Synthesizes the answers into lite-prd.md in the pasted format (minus Monetization).

Flags

  • --deep: exhaustive branching — pursue every plausible sub-thread until the tree is dry or the ~50-question budget is spent. Default (no flag) is model-judged, biased to fewer: only branch when an answer materially changes scope or leaves a real ambiguity, and prefer finishing over exhausting the budget.

Step 1 — Set up the workspace

  • Derive a short kebab-case <slug> from the feature ask (e.g. "team invites" → team-invites).
  • Create the folder docs/lite-prd/<slug>/ in the repo the skill was invoked in. If it already exists, reuse it and continue an in-progress run rather than clobbering.
  • Create/open the Q&A log at docs/lite-prd/<slug>/qa-log.md. Seed it with the raw ask.

Step 2 — Interview by traversing the design tree

Read references/traversal-protocol.md and follow it exactly. It defines: how to seed the root questions, how to batch with AskUserQuestion, when to branch deeper vs. move on (and how --deep changes that), the ~50-question budget, and the persistence rule (write each round to qa-log.md immediately after the user answers, before asking the next batch).

Every round: ask → read answers → append the round to qa-log.md → decide whether to branch or advance.

Step 3 — Synthesize the PRD

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.
