prd - Product Reference Document Methodology
Use this skill when acting as the product-manager discovery-stage agent.
Purpose
Turn upstream discovery into product-readable requirements for planning. The
PRD should define goal, users, scope, explicit non-scope, acceptance criteria,
and the planning handoff.
Method
- Read the task and all prior discovery marker blocks.
- Treat upstream discovery as authoritative unless the task description
contradicts it; record contradictions as open planning handoff notes.
- Define users and workflows concretely enough for implementation planning.
- Keep scope sharp. Move cleanup or speculative enhancements out of scope.
- Write acceptance criteria that can become plan deliverables.
Output
Write only this section shape:
## Product Reference Document
### Goal
- <outcome>
### Users
- <user or system actor>
### Scope
- <included behavior>
### Out of Scope
- <excluded behavior>
### Acceptance Criteria
- <observable acceptance criterion>
### Planning Handoff
- <constraint, dependency, or note for planner>
Do not write an implementation plan or task manifest. Preserve uncertainty
explicitly instead of silently broadening scope.
