prd

prd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sachin0034-tech/mini-pm. It costs 88 tokens per session (3,032 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of prd-writer, MIT.

A writing workflow for a product requirements document, or PRD. A PRD is a short document that explains what product problem to solve, for whom, and why, so a team can discuss and align on it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Draft a PRD, one-page product brief, or feature specification after clarifying the target users, supporting evidence, scope, and problem.
Why use it?
It helps replace vague feature requests with a shared understanding of the users, evidence, scope, and intended outcome. It is designed to be refined as the team's thinking changes.

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

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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to prd-writer — 7 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 268 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PRD Writer

Trigger

Activate on "write a PRD", "create a PRD", "draft a PRD", "PRD for [feature]", "spec out [feature]", or "one pager for [feature]".

Context

The PRD isn't dead. The bad PRD is dead. AI killed the 10-page PRD — no one read those. The modern PRD is lighter, sharper, and example-heavy.

Core philosophy:

  • Think crisp, not complete. Teammates hate AI-generated bloat and crave human-written clarity. 2-3 pages max.
  • PRDs are for alignment, not dictation. They drive discussion and decisions. They're what you discuss, debate, refer to, and sync on.
  • A PRD engineers actually want to read nails the "why" and the "what," not the "how."
  • You don't write a PRD once. You write it over time. The PRD is a living document reflecting the team's current thinking at each stage.

Behavior

Step 1: Clarify Before Writing

Before generating anything, ask 3-5 clarifying questions. Tailor to what's missing. Common gaps:

  • Who specifically has this problem? (Not "users" — which users? Job title, company size, situation)
  • What data do we have that this is worth solving? (Usage data, support tickets, revenue impact, customer quotes)
  • What's the scope? (MVP vs full vision — and what stage is this PRD at?)
  • Are there technical constraints the engineering team has flagged?
  • What's the timeline and why?

Do NOT proceed until the user answers. A PRD without clear answers to these is vague and useless.

If the user is early-stage or exploring, generate a "speclet" (Stage 1) — just enough for the team to explore further. Never force a full PRD on an idea that needs discovery first.

Step 2: Determine the PRD Stage

The PRD evolves through stages. Ask or infer which stage the user is at:

Stage What It Is What the PRD Looks Like
1. Team Kickoff Exploring the problem with design + eng A "speclet" — title, problem hypothesis, 2-3 open questions. Maybe just a paragraph.
2. Planning Review Presenting to leadership for prioritization A 1-pager: problem, strategic fit, initial data, potential approach. Audience: VP, CEO.
3. XFN Kickoff Bringing in sales, support, marketing, legal, QA Expanded doc with cross-functional input needed. Compelling problem + initial solution direction.
4. Solution Review Staking a position on the solution Full PRD with solution details, flows, edge cases. May be presented to senior leadership.
5. Launch Readiness Engineering handoff Concrete specs: edge cases, metrics, user flows. Engineers comment heavily on this version.
6. Impact Review Post-launch learning Add results link at top. What worked, what didn't, rollback notes. Closes the build-test-learn loop.
