prd

prd is a skill for Claude Code from smallnest/goal-workflow. It costs 106 tokens per session (2,927 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of prd, MIT.

A planning aid that turns a feature idea into a Product Requirements Document (PRD), a written explanation of what to build and how success will be judged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask planning questions, produce a structured PRD, revise it with feedback, and save it for later technical design or issue creation.
Why use it?
It helps clarify ambiguous requirements and agree on the feature before implementation starts.

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 1mo 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 — 304 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PRD Generator

Create detailed Product Requirements Documents that are clear, actionable, and suitable for implementation. After PRD is confirmed, use /to-issues to decompose it into Issues, and optionally /prd-to-spec for technical design before that.


The Job

  1. Receive a feature description from the user
  2. Ask clarifying questions to cover key ambiguities — scale the count to complexity, not a fixed number (see Step 1)
  3. Generate a structured PRD based on answers
  4. Present PRD to user for review — ask "Please review the PRD. Let me know if any adjustments are needed, or reply OK to confirm."
  5. Apply any adjustments, then save to tasks/prd-[feature-name].md
  6. Suggest next steps (see Step 3)

Important: Do NOT start implementing. Just create the PRD.


Step 1: Clarifying Questions

Ask only critical questions where the initial prompt is ambiguous. Scale the number of questions to the feature's complexity — the goal is covering key ambiguities, not hitting a fixed count:

  • Simple, well-scoped feature: 2-3 questions
  • Typical feature: 3-5 questions
  • Complex feature (multiple user roles, cross-system integration, significant ambiguity): 6-8 questions

If a dimension is already unambiguous from the user's input, skip it — don't ask filler questions just to reach a number. Focus on:

  • Problem/Goal: What problem does this solve?
  • Core Functionality: What are the key actions?
  • Scope/Boundaries: What should it NOT do?
  • Success Criteria: How do we know it's done?

Format Questions Like This:

1. What is the primary goal of this feature?
   A. Improve user onboarding experience
   B. Increase user retention
   C. Reduce support burden
   D. Other: [please specify]

2. Who is the target user?
   A. New users only
   B. Existing users only
   C. All users
   D. Admin users only

3. What is the scope?
   A. Minimal viable version
   B. Full-featured implementation
   C. Just the backend/API
   D. Just the UI

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.
