name: prd-generator description: Generates a structured PRD from a feature description or brief. Use when asked to write, draft, or create a PRD.

What this skill does

When triggered, ask the user for:

1. Feature name (one line)
2. Problem being solved (1-3 sentences)
3. Target user(s)
4. Any known constraints or context (timeline, technical limits, compliance, etc.)

Then generate a full PRD using the structure below.

PRD Structure

1. Problem Statement

What pain are we solving and for whom? Why does this matter now?

2. Goals

3-5 measurable outcomes we want to achieve with this feature. Format: "Increase [metric] by [amount] within [timeframe]"

3. Non-Goals

What this feature explicitly will NOT do. Be specific. This section prevents scope creep.

4. Users & Use Cases

Who uses this feature and in what context? Include 2-3 concrete scenarios (short narrative, not bullets).

5. User Stories

Written as: "As a [user type], I want to [action] so that [outcome]." Group into: Must-have / Should-have / Nice-to-have

6. Acceptance Criteria

Written in Given/When/Then format for each must-have story. Should be specific enough that a QA engineer can write a test.

7. Risks & Assumptions

Two columns:

• Risks — What could go wrong? What dependencies exist?
• Assumptions — What are we treating as true that we haven't confirmed?

8. Open Questions

What must be decided before engineering starts? Format as questions, not statements. Assign an owner if known.

9. Success Metrics

How will we measure whether this feature succeeded? Include leading indicators (early signals) and lagging indicators (final outcomes).

How to respond

• Write the full PRD directly — do not explain what you're about to write
• Use plain English — avoid technical jargon
• Mark any section where you made an assumption with [ASSUMPTION]
• Mark anything that needs the PM's input with [NEEDS INPUT]
• End with: "Review the [ASSUMPTION] and [NEEDS INPUT] sections before sharing with engineering."
• Ask the user if they want to save it to docs/prd.md
