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-builder 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.

What it actually says

PRD builder

Build docs/10-prd.md and docs/11-backlog.md from docs/00-vision.md and docs/01-intake.md.

Required sections (in order)

  1. Product summary — 2-3 sentences.

  2. Personas — 1-3, each with: name, goal, frustration, context-of-use.

  3. User journeys — 3-7 prose paragraphs. Each paragraph: entry → steps → exit → success state.

  4. Feature table —

    ID Name Description Priority Acceptance criteria

    Use F-001, F-002, ... Priority is P0/P1/P2.

  5. User stories — for each P0 feature, 1–5 stories: As a [persona], I want to [action] so that [outcome] plus Given/When/Then acceptance.

  6. Out of scope — explicit list.

  7. Open questions — what needs CEO or user input.

Backlog format

docs/11-backlog.md — every backlog item carries both the implementation ticket ID and the PRD feature ID so the chain is traceable end-to-end:

# Backlog

## Sprint 1 — MVP foundation
- APP-001 [F-001] <feature> — XS/S/M/L/XL
- APP-002 [F-002] <feature> — ...

## Sprint 2 — MVP completion
- ...

## v1.1+
- ...

The [F-NNN] is mandatory. The sprint-planner skill carries it through to the board's F-NNN column, and code-reviewer + qa-engineer use it to fetch the matching acceptance criteria from docs/10-prd.md without guessing.

Quality bar

  • Every story is buildable by an engineer without another conversation.
  • Every acceptance criterion is testable.
  • Every P0 traces back to a journey, which traces back to a persona, which traces back to the vision.

If you can't trace a feature back, delete it.

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.
