user-alignment

user-alignment is a skill for Claude Code from tryproduck/produck-skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (4,623 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for turning a vague software request into a clear, testable product requirements document. A PRD is a written specification describing the intended result, scope, acceptance checks, and boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify feature requests, define implementation phases, write acceptance criteria, and give coding agents a precise plan to follow.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork by making the user’s intent, priorities, edge cases, and limits explicit before implementation begins.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

user-alignment 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 10d 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.

User Alignment & Agent-Executable PRDs

Purpose: A practical guide for turning messy user requests into aligned, testable Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) that autonomous or semi-autonomous agents can execute without drifting.

Two supporting files ship with this skill:


1. Core thesis

A good agent PRD is not just a product document. It is a shared operating contract between the user, the product owner, and the implementation agent.

It must do three jobs at once:

  1. Align on user intent — what the user actually wants, why it matters, and what outcome would make them say “yes, that’s it.”
  2. Remove ambiguity before execution — especially around scope, constraints, priorities, edge cases, and trade-offs.
  3. Translate intent into executable work — sequenced phases, explicit files/systems, acceptance criteria, tests, and “do not do” boundaries.

For human teams, ambiguity can be resolved in meetings. Agents often resolve ambiguity by guessing. The PRD’s job is to make guessing unnecessary.


2. Research-backed principles

2.1 Start with the user problem, not the implementation

AI/product PRDs should begin with the user pain and the cost of the status quo, not with “we will use AI/model/tool X.” The model, framework, or agent is an implementation detail unless the user explicitly constrained it.

A strong problem statement should include:

  • Who is affected.
  • What they are trying to accomplish.
  • What blocks them today.
  • Why existing/manual/deterministic solutions are insufficient.
  • What measurable improvement would matter.

Bad: “Build an AI assistant for support.”
Better: “Support agents spend 8 minutes triaging each ticket, and 23% are misrouted. We need ticket classification under 2 seconds with at least 92% routing accuracy, while escalating low-confidence cases.”

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.
