Use this skill when the user wants to review or validate an existing Pulse PRD against the execution framework, glossary, and folder conventions. Produces a structured findings report covering persona/layer correctness, metric reuse, hypothesis quality, dependency coverage, missing sections, front-matter compliance, and renderer-contract conformance. Triggers on phrases like "review this PRD", "validate this PRD", "audit PRD against framework", "does this PRD comply", "check PRD".

Pulse — PRD Reviewer
Audit an existing Pulse PRD against the framework and folder rules. Output is a structured review with explicit pass / soft / blocking findings — no prose drafting, no rewriting.
product/prds/_template.md — structural template to compare against.
The target PRD file the user named.
If the target PRD is unspecified, ask which file. Do not guess.
Review checklist
Walk every item. For each, mark ✅ Pass, ⚠️ Soft, or ❌ Blocking. Capture the specific line, section, or quoted phrase that triggered the finding.
Front-matter
Front-matter block is present at the top.
title, status, layer, persona, last-edited, owner are all present.
layer value is one of: detect / diagnose / quantify / resolve / predict / framework / meta.
persona value is one of: tech / product / ux / all (with body justification if all).
status is one of: draft / in-review / approved / in-execution / live.
last-edited is YYYY-MM-DD.
tracker is present if status is approved, in-execution, or live.
Anchoring
Personas explicitly named in § Persona(s) Affected. If front-matter says all, body has a reason.
Execution layer(s) explicitly named. Body matches front-matter.
PRD locates the work in the progress matrix (mentions which cell it fills or upgrades).
Hypothesis
Hypothesis section uses the standard shape: "We believe [behavior] for [persona] at [layer] will move [metric] because [reason]."
The metric is from the glossary in frameworks/execution-framework.md. A custom metric is a Soft finding unless flagged in Open Questions for glossary review — otherwise Blocking.
Behavior is observable, not philosophical.
Metrics & success
Success Metrics section reuses glossary metrics where applicable.
Each metric has Source, Baseline, Target columns filled (or marked as Open Question).
No metric invented inline that should obviously map to a glossary entry.
Coverage
Problem section has evidence (data point, customer quote, ticket reference, telemetry). "We think users are unhappy" is a Soft finding.
Goals are concrete outcomes, not activities.
Non-goals section exists and is non-empty.
Dependencies cover all relevant areas: Backend / SDK / Pulse UI / Ingestion / AI Agent. If a clearly-touched area is missing, that is a Blocking finding for in-review PRDs.
Out of Scope / Future Work present.
Renderer contract
Status emojis (when used) are exactly ✅ ⚡ ❌. Substitutes (🟢 🟡 🔴, 🚧, ✓, [x], "Done") are a Blocking finding.
Layer / Persona names use the exact capitalisation defined in the framework: Detect, Diagnose, Quantify, Resolve, Predict, Tech, Product, UX.
Cross-doc links are relative (../frameworks/..., ../prds/...), not absolute paths or repo URLs.
Hygiene
No duplicate definitions of personas, layers, or metrics — references point to the framework.
No TBD / ??? outside the Open Questions section.
No images, GIFs, or videos embedded — those break copy-paste.
Output format
Print the review using this exact structure (replace bracketed placeholders, omit empty sections):
Re-drafting sections of the PRD inside the review. The review reports findings; it does not rewrite. If the user wants edits, they should pass the findings back through /pulse-prd-author or edit manually.
Soft-pedalling ❌ findings into ⚠️. The renderer contract and front-matter schema are non-negotiable.
Approving a PRD with status: approved / in-execution / live that lacks a tracker — that's a Blocking finding.
Auto-approving because "the doc looks fine." Walk the entire checklist before issuing a verdict.
When done
Tell the user:
The verdict.
The single highest-leverage fix to make next.
Whether the PRD is ready to advance status (e.g. draft → in-review).
