prd-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from The-AI-Directory-Company/agents-and-skills. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,211 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Product Requirements Document, or PRD, is a written plan for building a product or feature. It defines the user problem, goals, scope, constraints, requirements, and measures of success.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn a product idea into actionable requirements that designers, engineers, and stakeholders can review and approve.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from building an attractive feature without agreeing on the problem, intended users, boundaries, or expected outcome.

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-writing 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 9d 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 — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PRD Writing

Before you start

Gather the following information. If any is missing, ask the user before proceeding:

  1. Problem statement — What user pain or business need are we addressing?
  2. Target users — Which user segments are affected? How many?
  3. Constraints — Timeline, budget, team size, technical limitations
  4. Prior art — Has this been attempted before? What happened?
  5. Stakeholders — Who needs to approve this? Who has opinions?

If the user only gives you a feature idea ("we need dark mode"), push back and ask for the problem ("what user need does dark mode serve?").

PRD template

Use the following template. Every section is required unless explicitly marked optional.


Title

[Feature Name] — Product Requirements Document

1. Problem Statement (2-3 sentences)

State the problem from the user's perspective. Include:

  • Who is affected (specific user segment, not "users")
  • What they're struggling with (observable behavior, not assumed feelings)
  • How severe and frequent the problem is (data if available)

Good: "Enterprise customers with 50+ team members report spending 20+ minutes per week manually reassigning tickets when team members go on PTO, leading to SLA breaches in 12% of cases."

Bad: "Users want better ticket management."

2. Goals & Success Metrics

Define 2-4 measurable outcomes. Each must have:

  • A metric name
  • A current baseline (if known)
  • A target value
  • A measurement method
Metric Baseline Target How to measure
Time to reassign tickets 20 min/week < 2 min/week Avg from activity logs
SLA breach rate 12% < 3% Monthly SLA report

3. User Stories

Write 3-8 user stories in standard format:

As a [user type], I want [action] so that [outcome].

Order by priority. Mark each as P0 (must have), P1 (should have), or P2 (nice to have).

4. Scope

In scope — List specific capabilities included in this work.

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.
