prd-generation

Guidance and templates for writing a Product Requirements Document, a document that explains what a product or feature must do and how to verify it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define feature phases, acceptance criteria, test scenarios, edge cases, and checkpoints for human review.
Why use it?
It turns broad product ideas into phased, testable requirements with clear review points.

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-generation 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.

PRD Generation Skill

This skill provides structured knowledge for creating comprehensive, AI-optimized Product Requirements Documents.

Core Principles

1. Phase-Based Milestones (Not Timelines)

PRDs should define clear phases with completion criteria rather than time estimates:

  • Phase 1: Foundation - Core infrastructure and data models
  • Phase 2: Core Features - Primary user-facing functionality
  • Phase 3: Enhancement - Secondary features and optimizations
  • Phase 4: Polish - UX refinement, edge cases, documentation

2. Testable Requirements

Every requirement should include:

  • Clear acceptance criteria - Specific, measurable conditions for completion
  • Test scenarios - How to verify the requirement is met
  • Edge cases - Known boundary conditions to handle

3. Human Checkpoint Gates

Define explicit points where human review is required:

  • Architecture decisions before implementation begins
  • API contract review before integration work
  • Security review before authentication/authorization features
  • UX review before user-facing changes ship

4. Context for AI Consumption

Structure PRDs for optimal AI assistant consumption:

  • Use consistent heading hierarchy
  • Include code examples where applicable
  • Reference existing patterns in the codebase
  • Provide clear file location guidance

Template Selection

Choose the appropriate template based on depth level:

Depth Level Template Use Case
High-level overview template-high-level.md Executive summaries, stakeholder alignment, initial scoping
Detailed specifications template-detailed.md Standard development PRDs with clear requirements
Full technical documentation template-full-tech.md Complex features requiring API specs, data models, architecture

PRD Compilation Process

When compiling a PRD from gathered requirements:

  1. Select template based on requested depth level
  2. Organize information into template sections
  3. Fill gaps by inferring logical requirements (flag assumptions clearly)
  4. Add acceptance criteria for each functional requirement
  5. Define phases with clear completion criteria
  6. Insert checkpoint gates at critical decision points
  7. Review for completeness before presenting to user

What ships with it

6 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-generation is a skill published in the GitHub repository sequenzia/claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 812 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
