prd-draft

A Product Requirements Document, or PRD, drafting guide that turns a feature idea into a clear description of the problem, users, evidence, requirements, priorities, and non-goals. It keeps proposed solutions separate from the problem being addressed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft or refine a PRD from a brief, pitch, or meeting note, including testable requirements and a measurable success statement for each goal.
Why use it?
It helps teams agree on what problem they are solving and how success will be tested before debating implementation details.

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-draft 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 2d 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 — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

prd-draft

Turns "the business wants X" into the document that aligns everyone on what problem, for whom, how we'll know — before anyone argues about how. The missing link in the pipeline: brief-intake (raw mess → brief) → prd-draftuser-story-splitter (stories), nfr-spec (quality targets), success-metrics (measurement), design-doc (the how).

How to respond

  1. Ingest the idea — a brief-intake output, a pitch paragraph, a meeting note. Ask at most 2 questions, spent on the two highest-leverage unknowns: evidence ("what tells us users actually have this problem?") and the binding constraint ("fixed deadline, fixed scope, or fixed team?"). Everything else: pick a default, tag it [assumption].

  2. Write the problem statement with zero solution nouns. It names users, their situation, the pain, and the evidence — and survives the test: could this paragraph justify a completely different solution than the one everyone has in mind?"Support agents spend ~20 min/ticket reconstructing customer order history across three tools [reported by support lead]" — ❌ "We need an order-history dashboard" (that's a solution wearing a problem costume).

  3. Name the users specifically enough to find one. Primary persona + their job-to-be-done; secondary personas listed but explicitly deprioritized. "All users" is not a persona — if the feature really serves everyone, name who feels the pain most.

  4. State goals with a success line each. Every goal carries one measurable "we'll know it worked when …" sentence — target, timeframe, baseline if known. One line here; the full measurement design (instrumentation, guardrails) is success-metrics' job — point the user there.

  5. Write requirements that are testable and solution-free, each with a MoSCoW priority — and the Won't-have list is mandatory: ✅ "M — Agent sees a customer's orders from all channels in one view, ≤3s after lookup" — ❌ "M — Use Redis to cache order data" (implementation, belongs in design-doc) — ❌ "S — The experience is seamless" (untestable, belongs nowhere). Requirements describe observable behavior or capability; each one is checkable by a tester or demo.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

prd-draft is a skill published in the GitHub repository sananthanarayan/skilldrop (2 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 1,438 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
